CRUISING PHOTO of the WEEK #8 – the weekly outtake from ‘Cruising the World – From Gondolas to Megaships’ (www.DennisCox.com) — is a sightseeing cruiser in the two-thousand-year-old Alsatian city of Strasbourg, France.

The CRUISING PHOTO of the WEEK for the fourth week is an outtake from a two-week cruise on a Viking River Cruises longship from Amsterdam to Budapest. Despite having eleven pages for photos in ‘Cruising the World’ chronicling the route on the Rhine, Maine, and Danube rivers, this photo didn’t quite fit into the layout. One of the attractions of river cruising is being able to spend ample time ashore exploring the cities and towns along the …

This is my first posting of an outtake photo for the CRUISING PHOTO of the WEEK. I was able to squeeze 535 photos into my new 208-page book ‘Cruising the World, From Gondolas to Megaships.’ But there are some images that should have made the book, but unfortunately got squeezed out. This is one. ‘La Belle Epoque’ is a luxury European Waterways barge on the Burgundy Canal shown here passing a small French village in early spring …
