11 day – PASSION PLAY at Oberammergau, Germany, with tour of Switzerland, Austria & Germany.
|
Back to Top |
May 23 - June 02, 2010
- First of Two Scheduled Trips.
A very narrow ‘window of opportunity’ exists for securing tickets in Oberammergau, Germany for the ‘once in 10 years’ production of the PASSION PLAY. (Click here for history of the Passion Play) This world class event will draw Christians from literally all over the world. We have 50 spaces ‘block reserved’ until July 1 for each of the two dates listed above. They will be sold on a first come/first served basis and once beyond July 1, all guarantees of space will pass.
On the trip we will fly from Knoxville, TN to Milan, Italy; transfer to Stressa in the lake country and Italian Alps for two nights; then transfer to Zermatt, Switzerland for two nights; then one night at St. Moritz, Switzerland; two nights at Insbruck, Austria; and finally two nights in Oberammergau or Garmish, Germany; flying home from Munich, Germany. During that time we will have a boat ride on a lake to Isola dei Pescatori; coach through the Lake country of Italy; cross into Switzerland at Lugano; coach through the Italian & Swiss Alps; ride a train into the Alpine village of Zermatt; view the Matterhorn; ride the famed Glacier Express, the world’s most exciting narrow gage railroad through the Alps; join the ‘rich and famous’ at St Moritz; then coach through Austria to Innsbruck and Salzburg where the famous Salzburg Castle is and where the “Sound of Music” movie was filmed; see Mozart’s birthplace, Mirabell Gardens, St. Peters Restaurant, and much more; do a walking tour of Munich with its famed Glockenspiel and the Olympic Park en route to two nights in Oberammergau, nestled in the Bavarian Alps. We will see the famed PASSION PLAY, enjoy the woodcarvers and delight in the scenery before we coach into Munich for our flight back to Tennessee.
Deposits are required at reservation, before July 1, 2008, then a schedule of payments will be available for spreading the final costs over the next two years before the performance. Trip cancellation insurance will be offered, and due the amount of time between reservation and departure, is strongly recommended.
While the initial deadline for reservations for this trip has long passed, occasionally there are cancellations from other groups who have reserved this same trip. We have been able to place two travelers who contacted us after the deadline. There are no guarantees but the possibility does exist. Contact us if you want to be considered for this trip and we will TRY to get reserved space for you....
