This is, as Dayton Duncan observes, Ken Burns' backyard: "New England has always had a special place in American history and American thought. And New England has become Ken Burns' backyard – not just the place where he's raised his family and made his documentaries in the classic New England town of Walpole, New Hampshire, but also a place intertwined with many of the stories he's told: Mark Twain, Baseball, The Civil War and The National Parks: America's Best Idea. It's a distinct region with its own beauty and its own secret treasures – and who better to share them but one of its proudest residents."

...where multi-night stays in Hanoi, Luang Prabang, Siem Reap, Phnom Penh and Ho Chi Minh City promise in-depth exploration of historic sites, hands-on opportunities to do as the locals do and the luxury of immersing in cultural traditions and treasures from gracious grand hotels. A new day is dawning in the countries of Indochina, inviting with a mystical kaleidoscope of unique sights that resonate with a historic past and celebrate an exciting future. In cities like Hanoi, streets named for the products they sell... Pickled Fish, Wooden Bowl... buzz with vespas, and human-pedaled cyclos past colonial buildings, storied squares, temples and historic sites. Prayers and well wishes fill the air in Luang Prabang blessed with riverside beauty and rich with cultural traditions from rice to silk to gold leafed monasteries. Cambodia's Angkor Wat, ancient temples have defied time – and the jungle growth – remaining steeped in royal hospitality. Cyclos lead the way to a Royal Palace in Phnom Penh and "killing fields" chronicle a more turbulent time. Ho Chi Minh City comes alive with culinary treats and the fertile Mekong Delta thrives with local life – and promise. It's all underscored by a rich heritage and a river that share histories millennia old.

A wonderfully preserved medieval castle and town in the Czech Carpathian mountains are as awe-inspiring as the palaces and museums of Imperial Vienna. As you cruise from port to port, explore the cobblestone streets and market squares in the Old Towns of Budapest, Bratislava, Cesky Krumlov, Grein, and Passau, each offering unexpected cultural treasures and culinary pleasures around every bend. And the pièce de résistance – a Tauck Exclusive gala evening with music and dancing at a private palace conjures up elegant Old World Europe just for Tauck guests!
