Lake Como and Lake Lucerne – inspiration through centuries for artists, poets and composers – are destinations of an ISBA-sponsored travel program just announced by President-elect Irene F. Bahr.

The nine-day tour, next Sept. 22 to 30, includes four nights in Italy's Lake Como region and three nights in Switzerland's Lake Lucerne area, all in first-class hotels.

Global Holidays, an ISBA-affiliated travel coordinator, has outlined an itinerary at the affordable price of $1,849 per person, double occupancy (plus taxes), with departure from Chicago, and $1,949 from St. Louis.

Highlights include round-trip trans-Atlantic air transportation to Zurich and return from Milan, ground transfers, professional guides, a welcome reception, daily buffet breakfasts and a farewell dinner.

Participants may choose to plan their own individual journeys in and around the two destinations, or take advantage of custom-designed optional excursions.

At Lake Lucerne, they are: Lucerne City and Lake Cruise, and Spectacular Swiss Peaks. At Lake Como, they are: Treasures of Lake Como; Lake Maggiore and Borromean Island, and Milan.
