      In 1633, the people of Oberammergau, Germany vowed to put on a "Passion Play" every 10 years, if God would protect them from the Black Death. The village survived and the promise has been kept ever since, with the entire village taking part in telling the story of Christ's crucifixion. Now, as part of a special land package preceding our sensational Danube, Main & Rhine River voyage, Cruise West gives you the chance to enjoy VIP seating for this epic production. Tickets are limited, so act now to see the Oberammergau Passion Play before it disappears for another decade.
