Since 2007, FreedomFest has become the event of the year where freedom lovers gather to network and socialize while learning about politics and finance, history and philosophy, health and well-being, science and technology, literature and the arts, and sound economic theory.
In 2017, we’re celebrating our 10th anniversary with a spectacular cruise up the fabled blue Danube to the birthplace of the founders of the Austrian school of economics, Friederich Hayek and Ludwig von Mises. We have personally designed this tour to include renowned experts in academia, politics, and finance; elegant private receptions; and a special Mises/Hayek walking tour led by Hayek’s own great grandnephew. This is an opportunity of a lifetime. We can’t wait to share it with you.
Please join us as we experience the beautiful, historic destinations along the Danube, including Budapest, Bratislava, Vienna, the Wachau Valley, Linz, and Salzburg, all while sailing in luxury aboard Uniworld’s river super ship, the S.S. Maria Theresa, during the 300th anniversary of her namesake’s birth. You will enjoy history, art, architecture, music, exquisite food and wine, and the best of both Eastern and Western European culture. We also recommend the optional pre-cruise extended tour of Budapest and the post-cruise visit to the utterly enchanting European capital city of Prague.
During the cruise, we’ll discuss today’s political landscape, its impact on the markets and investments, and proven strategies that build wealth and produce safe, steady income with some of FreedomFest’s best financial speakers. You’ll not only come away with beautiful memories of Europe and our spectacular cruise together; you’ll take home strategies to improve your life, your wealth and your future.
We’ve hosted numerous cruises over the years, and some of our very best friendships have been forged as we travel. We hope you’ll be numbered among them. Read on to learn more, and make your plans today to be part of this unforgettable experience.
