As much as the Americans have made Halloween popular, it's Europe where all the creepy stories originate. Think Dracula and you have Romania (Bran Castle, Bran, Romania). Think vampires and you have the most creepy museum in the city of love, Paris: Musรฉe de Vampires, with a collection including anti-vampire protection kits and mummified cats. Think woman in white, and you have the White Lady of the Tower of London, U.K.. You get the picture ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

BUT--this picture today is taken along ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ฌ๐ž๐ง๐ ๐ซ๐š๐œ๐ก๐ญ in ๐€๐ฆ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ž๐ซ๐๐š๐ฆ. "Gracht" means canal in Dutch, and Prinsengracht is one of four canals belonging to the canal belt in the center of Amsterdam. The 400-year-old canal named after the Prince of Orange was constructed in 1612 and it's flanked by numerous monumental buildings such as:

๐Ÿ› A crow-stepped gable on the corner with the Brouwersgracht at Prinsengracht 2โ€“4.
๐Ÿ› The Anne Frank House from 1635 with the Secret Annex from 1740 at Prinsengracht 263 (near the Westertoren).
๐Ÿ› The 17th-century Deutzen Hofje at Prinsengracht 899.

And of course there's no better way to see all the monuments and monumental canal houses on the Prinsengracht than being on a river cruise with Romanow Cruises!

๐ŸFall ๐Ÿ‚ is the time when winemakers harvest grapes ๐Ÿ‡and crush them into wine. Plot by plot, the grapes sun-drenched by the summer sun are cut by nimble hands with a sickle, before being transported to the cellar, where the alchemy of fermentation will begin.

Fall is also the time when wine ๐Ÿท is enjoyed a little warmer as the weather turns cooler. And I'm not just talking about red wine; you shouldn't give full-bodied white wine (such as ๐”…๐”ฌ๐”ฏ๐”ก๐”ข๐”ž๐”ฒ๐”ต ๐”…๐”ฉ๐”ž๐”ซ๐”  and ๐”๐”ข ๐”“๐”ž๐”ฏ๐”ž๐”ก๐”ฆ๐”ฐ ๐”–๐”ž๐”ฆ๐”ซ๐”ฑ-๐”“๐”ฆ๐”ข๐”ฏ๐”ฏ๐”ข) a miss too.

So for those of you who love to see how wine is made as much as tasting them--AND be rewarded by an equally stunning display ๐Ÿคฉ of autumn colours ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ‚ in the vineyards---autumn is the best time to visit them with ๐‘๐จ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐จ๐ฐ ๐‚๐ซ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฌ๐ž๐ฌ as we cruise through Bordeaux (France) in our 14-๐™™๐™–๐™ฎ ๐™‹๐™ค๐™ง๐™ฉ ๐™Ž๐™–๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ฉ-๐™‡๐™ค๐™ช๐™ž๐™จ-๐™™๐™ช-๐™๐™๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™š ๐™ฉ๐™ค ๐˜ฝ๐™ค๐™ง๐™™๐™š๐™–๐™ช๐™ญ ๐˜พ๐™ง๐™ช๐™ž๐™จ๐™š.

Ghent, the capital and largest city of the East Flanders province in Belgium, is a must-see in autumn. Its stunning architecture looks even more romantic in autumn with its colourful foliage and, at night, when the wet cobbled streets glisten with the city lights, the air fills up with love vibes...๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Another reason for visiting Ghent in Autumn is the annual Ghent Festival of Flanders, featuring concerts of all genre. Every year, the Gent Festival attracts more than 50,000 visitors with a daring program ranging from classical music to world music and jazz.

You guessed it right if you say โ€œ๐๐€๐Œ๐”๐‘โ€!

The ancient city, ๐๐š๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ซ, in ๐๐ž๐ฅ๐ ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฆ, sits only about an hour away from the crackling action taking place in the F1 Grand Prix at Spa this weekend. If you are indeed at F1 this weekend (ohโ€ฆ we are soooo jealous!), you should definitely pop by to explore Namur for a day or two.

The capital of the province of Namur and or Wallonia, Namur stands at the confluence of the Sambre and Meuse rivers and is an important economic centre.

An odd Namurois custom is the joust on stilts (dating back to 1411) practised by the stiltwalkers of Namur. The annual ๐‘ช๐’๐’Ž๐’ƒ๐’‚๐’• ๐’…๐’† ๐’'ร‰๐’„๐’‰๐’‚๐’”๐’”๐’† ๐’…'๐‘ถ๐’“ (๐…๐ข๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐†๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ž๐ง ๐’๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐ญ) is held on the third Sunday in September. Two teams, the Mรฉlans and the Avresses, dress in medieval clothes while standing on stilts and do battle in one of the town's principal squares. It is a stunning display of acrobatic prowess with one simple goal: to bring down all the jousters from the other team, because a fallen stilt walker cannot get back on his stilts ๐Ÿ˜‚

Well, next year, Romanow Cruises will be going to Spa to catch the F1 action, and we will certainly stop by at Namur to visit this gorgeous ancient city of Belgium. We hope to see you! ๐Ÿค—

Brussels,, capital of Belgium ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช, is known for many things. But one that you absolutely cannot miss is Grand Place, or Grote Markt. Originally constructed in the 11th century, it gradually become important as the centre of commerce, with a large indoor cloth market in the 14th century.

The Grand Place you see today is as old and rich as the history of Brussels itself, having survived fire by the French Army Brabant Revolutionaries, demolition, WW1, and even a bomb by the Irish Republican Party in 1979.

In 1998, it was named as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Every other year in the month of August, volunteers from around Belgium gather at the Grand Place to weave a carpet-like tapestry out of colorful begonias called the Flower Carpet ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒผ๐ŸŒทThe event was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID pandemic, but next year, in 2022, we are so excited that it will be held again with the theme, โ€œBelgium in Bloom.โ€

So come with us on the Romanow ๐Ÿšค, and weโ€™ll stop by to see Belgium in Bloom starting our first day and night in Brussels ๐Ÿงก

At Romanow Cruises, we do have a schedule--BUT--if a sport event like Tour de France ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธ, Formula 1 ๐ŸŽ, motoGP ๐Ÿ and definitely the Paralympics and the Olympic Games comes up--we'll love ๐Ÿ˜ to change it up! ๐Ÿคฉ

Well, the Tokyo Olympics ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต comes to an end today. Due to the pandemic--kudos to Japan and the organizers--it's been postponed for a year, and much of the excitement and grandeur of the Olympics have been dampened.

That why WE CAN'T WAIT ๐Ÿคฉ for the NEXT summer Olympics coz' it's gonna be in one of our favoriTEST cities, Paris ๐Ÿ—ผ

Do you know that the last Olympics in Paris was held in 1924--yeah, you got that right: It's EXACTLY 100 YEARS AGO ๐Ÿ˜‰

And now after a whole century of waiting, the French capital will be hosting the Summer Olympics again in 2024.

We wouldnโ€™t ๐™—๐™š Romanow Cruises of course if we would not be in town during this massive event๐Ÿ’ช

The beauty is that the Olympic village will be in ๐™Ž๐™–๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐˜ฟ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ž๐™จ, a place thatโ€™s perfectly reachable with MY Romanow.

Silverstone has been home to the Formula 1 British Grand Prix since 1948. It is named after the World War II Royal Air Force bomber station on which it is built, RAF Silverstone. The airfield's three runways, in classic WWII triangle format, lie within the outline of the present track.

We can depart from Amsterdam ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ, Antwerp ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช or Paris๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท, and then head towards Dunkerque in Belgium. From there, we cross the English Channel and enter England via the famed River Thames, passing by the 127-year-old Tower Bridge in London until we reach Oxford.

From Oxford, itโ€™s only a 30-minute ride to Silverstone Circuit.

BUT--you donโ€™t have to be a race fan to cross the English Channel with us. We will plan your dream trip ๐Ÿคฉ with you so you can tick it off your bucket list.

Today is the 9th day of Tour de France 2021 and here are some facts about why the French and bicycle ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™‚๏ธlovers all over the world rave about this annual race held in France:

๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ The first time the Tour de France started was in the year 1903, (funny enough only 8 years before the M/Y Romanow was built). This yearly race is held in the month of July and itโ€™s the worldโ€™s largest, most prestigious and most difficult bicycle event.

๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ The race spans three weeks and, as its name explains, the 3,500-km race route covers every corner of France. The cyclists are cheered on every day to the finish by up to 12 million spectators every step of the way.

๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ In these 3 weeks, the sportsmen do an average distance of about 3,500 km ๐Ÿ’ช. There are usually between 20 and 22 teams competing with 8 people in each team all fighting for the same goal: the Yellow jersey. The yellow jersey is the yellow top worn by the Tour de France stage leader.

Weโ€™re sure you imagine what a circus it is when 170 cyclists are scrambling to be ahead of each otherโ€ฆ

Now, imagine how cool and amazing it would be if you can watch this from the sun deck of the M/Y Romanow ๐Ÿšคwhile enjoying local red ๐Ÿทand charcuterie of French cheese๐Ÿง€, olives, and cold cuts on your picnic table?

At Romanow Cruises, we do have a schedule. However, we as adrenaline speed junkies ๐Ÿ˜Ž love nothing more than to change the schedule for you so we can visit, for example, the MotoGP for the Dutch Tourist Trophy (Dutch TT) ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Grand Prix of Assen. This GP is the ultimate one to visit with the M/Y Romanow because we can park in any one of the 4 marinas ๐Ÿšค in the beautiful city of Assen and from here itโ€™s a relaxing walk or short ride on the e-bike ๐Ÿšด to the circuit.

The Dutch TT Circuit Assen, known more fondly by fans as the โ€œ๐‚๐š๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐๐ซ๐š๐ฅ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐’๐ฉ๐ž๐ž๐โ€ is a yearly staple on race loversโ€™ agenda. Scheduled on the last weekend of June, this adrenaline-pumping technical race is the oldest event on the MotoGP calendar. The race has been held in Assen since 1925 and has been on the Grand Prix calendar since 1949, the year the series was formally inaugurated. In 1955, the track was rebuilt and has been a driversโ€™ favourite track ever since, and with seating capacity for 110,000 spectators, the vibe in Assen during a race can only be described as electrifying โšก๏ธ

Talking about the Assenโ€™s vibeโ€”something that should not be missed is the famous TT Nacht van Assen (Night of Assen), held on the Saturday evening ahead of race day. This is a massive, crazy party with live bands attended by both the locals and spectators that goes on until the early hours ๐Ÿ˜ดof the race day.

All in allโ€”race fan or notโ€”the Dutch TT always promises an awesome weekend.

While visiting this race, you donโ€™t need to drink any of the pastis at all though, looking at the track with all the red and blue colours will make you tipsy enough without any alcohol.

The beauty of this circuit is that it is on the Cote Dโ€™Azur and only a ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ“-๐’Ž๐’Š๐’๐’–๐’•๐’† ๐’ƒ๐’Š๐’„๐’š๐’„๐’๐’† ๐’“๐’Š๐’…๐’† ๐Ÿšฒ๐’‚๐’˜๐’‚๐’š ๐’‡๐’“๐’๐’Ž ๐’•๐’‰๐’† ๐‘ถ๐’„๐’†๐’‚๐’ with its many marinas.

It was significant not only because it was the largest invasionโ€”with 156,000 Allied troopsโ€”ever assembled in modern history, but more importantly, it turned the tide for the control of Europe by N**i Germany, leading to Germanyโ€™s surrender less than a year after the invasion, and the end of World War II.

BUT, Normandy has much more than history to offer. Do you know Normandy is also the birthplace of these four eponymous ๐œ๐ก๐ž๐ž๐ฌ๐ž๐ฌ ๐Ÿง€ named after their place of origin?
๐Ÿง€ Camembert

There is one delicacy that is undeniably French ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท which youโ€™ll enjoy at breakfast or teatime when you are on a river cruise with Romanow Cruises in France: French pastry, or ๐˜ฑรข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ด๐˜ชรจ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ.

Croissant, choux, macaron, mille-feuille, tarte tatinโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜‹ the list goes on. A mix of crumbly, flaky, and buttery textures all in one biteโ€ฆ thereโ€™s nothing more heavenly as French pastry.

Puff pastry was said to be the creation of a French painter and apprentice cook, Claude Gelรฉe, in 1645, when he accidentally created a laminated dough when trying to make a rolled butter cake for his ailing father.

Then in the late 18th century, French pastry master, Marie-Antoine Carรชme, took it to another level, gracing the windows of his Paris patisserie shop with his mouth-watering creations that taste as good as they look. It didn't take long for French pastry desserts to find their way into the kitchens of fine dining.

Whether you have them as breakfast, tea, or dessert, you can enjoy authentic French pastry on the deck of MY Romanow as we pass through idyllic French towns via its canals and rivers... ๐˜ญ๐˜ข ๐˜ท๐˜ช๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐ŸŒน

There is no dish that is more common and misunderstood as ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ.

The story has it that, during World War I, American soldiers stationed in Belgium ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช mistakenly thought they were in Franceโ€”when they were in fact in the French-speaking part of Belgium. Thus, when they were introduced to the delicacy, the soldiers incorrectly nicknamed these fried potatoes โ€˜French fries.โ€™

And the rest is history. The Belgians take their fries so seriously that in 2014, they successfully got the national dish listed as a UNESCO Cultural Heritage item.

When you travel Belgium by boat with Romanow Cruises, you will learn to find the nearest ๐™›๐™ง๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™ช๐™ช๐™ง (fries kiosk) with your nose. The aromatic and perfectly crispy-on-the-outside-yet-soft-on-the-inside Belgian frites ๐ŸŸare no more than 1 cm (0.4 inches) thick, fried twice in a mix of horse and cow fat, andโ€”served in a cone with a generous helping of mayonnaise.

We highly recommend you visit the ๐˜๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ต ๐˜”๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ (Fries Museum) in Bruges to learn everything you need to know about the history of Belgian fries, and a MUST-STOP at the famous ๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ˆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ, located in Etterbeek, ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฌ, to get your fix of the national delicacy.

But remember to skip the โ€œFrench" when you place your order! ๐Ÿ˜

In fact, in many Asian languages, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Indonesian, the word mothership--literally "mother" + "(war)ship")--typically refers to an aircraft carrier, which is translated as "aircraft/aviation mothership":

Yes, on M/Y Romanow ๐Ÿšค we have a schedule that takes us on the Ronquiรจres Inclined Plane!

Last week weโ€™ve shown you the highest boat lift in Europe called Strรฉpy-Thieu located in Hainaut province of Belgium ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช In the same province lies a tiny village of less than 1500 inhabitants called ๐‘น๐’๐’๐’’๐’–๐’Šรจ๐’“๐’†๐’”, where the ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ข๐ง๐œ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ž๐ ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐š๐ง๐ž ๐ข๐ง ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐ with its slope of ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ ๐ฆ๐ž๐ญ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ/๐ŸŽ.๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ— ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ was built in 1968 to allow inland waterway vessels to cross a difference in height of ๐Ÿ”๐Ÿ– ๐ฆ๐ž๐ญ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ/๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ๐ญ on the Charleroi-Brussels canal.

For those who have not been on these exciting locks in Europe, just imagine a huge bathtub measuring ๐Ÿ—๐ŸŽ๐ฆ/๐Ÿ๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ“๐Ÿ๐ญ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ , ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ฆ/๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ—๐Ÿ๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ข๐๐ž, ๐š๐ง๐ ๐Ÿ’๐ฆ/๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ๐ญ ๐๐ž๐ž๐ฉ, filled with ๐Ÿ“๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ ๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ฐ๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ซ into which all sorts of boats drive into. And then this bathtub will be moved up 68 metres in height over a 1.5 km/0.9 mile inclined slope ๐Ÿ˜ฑ This is way faster than the 14 locks that boats had to take before 1968 when the sloping lock first went into operation.

Youโ€™ll only believe it when you see it. Watch this video and see for yourself.

Strรฉpy-Thieu, which lies in Le Rล“ulx, Hainaut, Belgium ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ช measures a whopping ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ‘.๐Ÿ๐Ÿ“ ๐ฆ๐ž๐ญ๐ซ๐ž๐ฌ tallโ€”or roughly about ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ž๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐ก๐ข๐ ๐ก! To put this in perspective, itโ€™s about the height of the ๐‡๐ฒ๐ฉ๐ž๐ซ๐ข๐จ๐ง roller coaster in Energylandia in Poland, the ๐’๐ก๐š๐ฆ๐›๐ก๐š๐ฅ๐š roller coaster in PortAventura Park in Spain, or the ๐ƒ๐ž๐ซ ๐’๐œ๐ก๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ž๐ฌ ๐Šรค๐ซ๐ง๐š๐ง in Hansa-Park in Germany. You get the picture.

But donโ€™t fret. Strรฉpy-Thieu will not move as fast as a roller coaster, but we promise you itโ€™ll give you the same high you experienced on a roller coaster when you were a child ๐Ÿคฉ Only to be experienced on a river cruise with Romanow Cruises to South and East Belgium: https://romanowcruises.com/belgium/

De Ronde has had more than 100 races since its first race on 25 May 1913 in Ghent, the third-largest city in Belgium ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ชafter Brugges and Antwerp, and one of the cities in Europe with the most well-preserved medieval architecture.

At 254.3 km in length, De Ronde is a long, hard race defined by a series of tough cobbled climbs (โ€œhellingenโ€) in the back half of the race. Cycling on cobbled streets is what distinguishes De Rondeโ€”and makes it definitively THE hardest ๐Ÿ’ชโ€”from the other cycling races.

In the past week, as the massive international operation to rescue the giant ship in Suez Canal unfolds in front of our TV screens, not too far away lies a more impressive feat: ๐‘ช๐’‚๐’๐’‚๐’ ๐’…๐’– ๐‘ด๐’Š๐’…๐’Š.

Often regarded as one of human historyโ€™s most impressive engineering feat in waterway construction, the 240 km (149 miles) long Canal du Midi in southern France was built in just 14 years, whereas the Suez Canal, which is 47 km (29 miles) shorter, took 6 years longer to build.

Travelling along Canal du Midi is an experience youโ€™ll not forget: soft, willowy trees on both banks hug the canal like cathedral arches, and idyllic towpaths where you can cycle with the wind in your hairโ€ฆ

Thereโ€™s no better way to experience all these on Canal du Midi than with Romanow Cruises. Check out Romanow Cruises France tours: https://romanowcruises.com/france/
