S AVIN G S Dear Graduates, Parents and Friends of Brown: Like America’s Mississippi River or Germany’s Rhine, Ukraine’s Dnieper River has defined a nation. Sweeping across the Ukrainian countryside, it has traced a broad course through Ukrainian history. Intrepid Viking warrior-merchants once plied its waters, seeking trade routes to the Black Sea and Constantinople. Along its banks rose the stately city of Kiev, and across the Dnieper’s fertile plains Cossack horsemen once rode. Join us on an 11-night voyage on the Dnieper River and the Black Sea aboard the M.S. DNIEPER PRINCESS, the finest ship cruising Ukrainian waterways. From ancient Kiev, a thriving political, religious, cultural and commercial center when Moscow was little more than a village, sail south along the Dnieper through a landscape of tranquil beauty, passing through wooded hills, endless steppes and lush farmlands. Cross the Black Sea to the Crimean Peninsula, a popular retreat since the days of the czars, and to the cosmopolitan seaport of Odessa, Ukraine’s gateway to Turkey and the lands of the Eastern Mediterranean. This unique itinerary introduces you to the seldom-seen treasures of a nation reasserting its identity and reclaiming its roots as it rises from seven decades of Soviet domination.
