Podcasts about rudesheim

I just returned from a magical week on the rivers of Germany as a guest of Transcend Cruises. Our stops and excursions included: Koblenz, Cochem, Boppard, Rudesheim, Heidelberg, Speyer, Wiesbaden, Wurzburg and Frankfurt. And I loved every second. As for Transcend, it's a charter-only river cruise line with a fleet of its own purpose-built vessels. The company offers truly customized river cruise journeys with tailor-made itineraries and experiences for any kind of group. So for example, you can hold a destination wedding, or a corporate retreat, or celebrate a milestone birthday with family and friends, or really just about anything! On my sailing, the ship was chartered by the Porsche Club of North America with tailored experiences for car enthusiasts. And of course, there were plenty of cultural options to enjoy for the likes of yours truly. The ship I was on was the Advance and was 5 stars all the way – from the suite to the dining to the staff. Frankly, I didn't want to leave! For more on Transcend, visit: https://www.transcend.cruises/ or tune in to episode 301 of  The One Way Ticket Show where our guest was Matthew Shollar, Founder & Chief Visionary of Transcend Cruises. While on board, I had the chance to sit down and chat with the ship's Captain Rob Jager, Head Chef Mihai Tuca, and Transcend's General Manager, Carmen Mladenovic. You can listen to each of those conversations here on The One Way Ticket Show.  On this episode, we're featuring our conversation with Chef Mihai. We cover how he plans for a journey, how local cuisines impact menus on the ship, his favorite foods to prepare, what makes Transcend's offering so unique, plus, it being the one way ticket show, of course I had to ask Chef Mihai where he'd go on his one way ticket journey of choice (if you're new to the show, that's the premise of the podcast).   Enjoy!

The tour is taking in the castles along the riverbank on the way to Rudesheim.  Lisa gets to know Captain Dalton a little better as he leads the tour, sharing his knowledge of the Rhine.  But, Candance is avoiding something or someone. 

What makes AmaWaterways unique?During the pandemic, they were the only US-based river cruise line that was cruising in Europe, serving guests from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, doing 5-night cruises on the Rhine River. This created a seamless transition moving into this season.AmaWaterways was the first river cruise line to include French balconies and full verandahs.The AmaMagna, launched in 2019, is the most unique river cruise vessel in operation.

Join Travel Brigade in Rudesheim, Germany, as we float along the castle-filled Rhine River, while enjoying locally produced riesling wines. Off the water, you can ride a cable car up to the hills above the river and walk through the vineyards while enjoying beautiful views down to the river. This is known as the “Romantic” area of Germany because there are so many castles lining the river, some that you can even stay in. We’ll also tell you how to make a local treat called a flaming-hot “Rudesheim Coffee.” Enjoy the trip! Follow us on Twitter @TravelBrigade.
