Our royal tour of London starts with red-coat pageantry at Buckingham Palace.

Highlights of Paris: Eiffel Tower; Seine cruise; neighborhood markets, a nighttime joyride.

Bell’Italia! Italy has Europe’s richest, craziest culture. After all, this nation is the cradle of European civilization.

In Krakow, we linger on one of Europe’s most crowd-pleasing squares, marvel at past glories in art galleries and at Wawel Castle, and savor Polish cuisine.

Europe’s ultimate road trip is the 800-mile loop around Iceland on Highway 1 — the Ring Road.

Reykjavík is a world capital with a small-town feel. We tour the city’s endearing sights, get to know the uniquely Icelandic way of life, and take a dip in a thermal pool.
