NR’s eighth European riverboat charter sailing is scheduled for April 19-26, 2020, heading from Basel, Switzerland and destined for Amsterdam on AmaWaterways luxurious AmaMora, visiting Strasbourg, Cologne, and other beautiful ports during a very special week of sojourns and discussions.

This tremendous once-in-a-lifetime experience is missing only one thing . . . You. The fact is . . . you really want to come. So, come. You’ll sails in the company of exceptional conservative speakers, who (more are to be named) are

Daniel Hannan, MEP and “Brexit” fight leader

Amity Shlaes, acclaimed historian

Charles Kesler, Claremont Review of Books editor

Sally Pipes, Pacific Research Institute president

Seth Lipsky, New York Sun founder

Rich Lowry, NR Editor-in-Chief

Where will they – you! – be heading? You’ll embark the AmaMora in Basel on the 19th, and (there’s an optional two-night pre-cruise stay in sweet Zurich and Lucerne), along the streaming sojourn of locks and bucolic sights, visit Strasbourg, Cologne, and the riverports of Rüdesheim, Ludwigshafen, Breisach, and Lahnstein, before arriving in Amsterdam on the 25th (and staying on the AmaMora overnight).

In each port, numerous expert-led tour options will be available (they are all part of the cruise package!), and while we’re sailing to the next destination, we’ll be holding our panel sessions – that’s when our invited speakers will consider the day’s most pressing issues (from politics and the 2020 elections to policy and the future of Europe).

Your stateroom, the tours, all meals (sumptuous!), port fees, gratuities, taxes are included in the cost (prices start at only $4,299 a person) and in addition to that are the exclusives which are part of NR’s popular cruise-event program (honed over 25 years and 40+voyages!):

seven scintillating seminars featuring editors and guest speakers;

two fun-filled “Night Owl” sessions;

three revelrous pool-side cocktail receptions;

intimate dining on two or three evenings with a guest speaker or editor (with complimentary, unlimited wine and beer served with every lunch and dinner);

one late-night smoker featuring cigars and cognac;

numerous tours and excursions in every port;

complimentary high-speed Internet / wi-fi in each stateroom.

Great discussions, great speakers, great ship, great sites (really, there are so many tours to be enjoyed, from ancient Freiburg and Heidelberg to enchanting Riquewihr and Speyer and too many others to name here) – Great Caesar’s Ghost why haven’t you signed up yet?!

By the way, many folks plan to do a little something extra before or after the cruise. So, as we have done with NR’s prior European riverboat charters, our friends at The Cruise and Vacation Authority have put together a decidedly affordable five-star two-night pre-cruise option that will include Zurich and Lucerne (prior to embarking the AmaMora in Basel).

NR’s charter sailings are special. Intimate. Over the week-plus, the passengers and speakers bond, the seeds of friendship are planted, they bloom, old friendships are rekindled. And important matters are discussed with great intelligence. During the actual sailing, we will arrange for three receptions (if the weather and locks and bridges permit, atop the AmaMora’s Sun Deck), dining with our speakers, and seven / eight seminars and interview sessions where our editors and speakers will take on the day’s most pressing issues.

(All that happens with a backdrop of the Rhine’s pretty vistas: castles on this bank, vineyards on that one, steeples ahead, past the ancient monastery, just before the amazing locksAnd that’s what makes NR’s charter sailings so special: They are indeed intimate. Over seven to 10 days, the passengers and speakers bond, the seeds of friendship are planted, they bloom, old friendships are rekindled, and on occasion even a marriage has been instigated (but please know: The Love Boat is not the purpose). During the actual sailing, we will arrange for three receptions (if the weather and locks and bridges permit, atop the AmaMora’s Sun Deck), dining with our speakers, and seven / eight seminars and interview sessions where our editors and speakers will take on the day’s most pressing issues.

Again, come. You know you want to. So sign up today while there is still a beautiful stateroom to be had.

We can’t wait to see you on the Rhine!
