Join us on this once-in-a-lifetime journey combining a performance of the legendary 2010 Passion Play in Oberammergau with a delightful cruise through the heart of Bavaria. Sail along the Main and Danube rivers aboard the exclusively chartered M.S. AMADEUS SYMPHONY, a member of the prestigious Amadeus Premium river fleet and one of the finest vessels to ply the waterways of Europe. As you cruise through the beautiful countryside of Bavaria, call at some of Germany’s most enchanting medieval towns and villages, including Würzburg, Bamberg, Nuremberg and Regensburg, before disembarking in Passau. Our journey culminates with a unique opportunity to attend the 2010 Passion Play of Oberammergau, a revered tradition that dates to 1633. More than 2,000 participants enact this fascinating rendition of the story of Jesus Christ on the large, open-air stage of the Passion Play Theatre. Staged every 10 years, this incredible performance incorporates magnificent costumes, scenery and orchestral accompaniment to create a memorable spectacle. A full program of excursions, cultural enhancements and specially arranged access to the 2010 Oberammergau Passion Play, including tickets, transfers to and from the hotel, and traditional Bavarian lunch and dinner, are included with this customized itinerary.
