ENJOY EUROPE

Evergreen Cruises & Tours has released its 2020 European river cruises, some of which can be combined with a tour of eastern Europe or Spain, or with city escapes in Paris, Prague, Lisbon or Nice. The cruises all feature an active program that, depending on the itinerary, may feature bike tours, guided short hikes, canoeing or on-board yoga. Immersive local experiences may see passengers drop in for afternoon tea with a Slovakian family in Bratislava, learn the traditional art of mosaic tile painting in Portugal, or enjoy regional cheese and wine tastings in France.
