Cruise Overview

Begin this timeless European river cruise vacation in vibrant Budapest, Hungary, sail along the Danube River with exciting stops in Austria and Germany, and conclude in historic Nuremberg, Germany.

As you leave Budapest, you’ll sail past the splendid Parliament Building and, along the Danube River, you’ll see Hungary on your left and Slovakia on your right as a 58-mile stretch of the river runs between both countries.

Enjoy an amazing view of the landscapes of Bratislava while sailing.

Vienna, Austria, offers stunning St.

Stephen’s Cathedral, the Habsburg Palace, the Vienna Opera House, and much more.

In the heart of the Wachau Valley wine region is Dürnstein, a 16th-century town with charming cobblestone streets and the baroque Stiftskirche with its luminous blue façade.

In Melk, visit Austria’s majestic Benedictine Abbey, one of Europe’s largest monasteries, and enjoy a tasting of some of the Wachau Valley’s famous wines.

Join in a guided walk through Passau, with its narrow streets, beautiful Patrician houses, and baroque architecture.

Sail further up the Danube River to discover the medieval walls of Regensburg—the only German city not bombed during WWII.

Here, you can become acquainted with some of Germany’s famous beers!

The last stop on this memorable river cruise vacation is the thousand-year-old city of Nuremberg.

During guided sightseeing, marvel at the medieval fortifications, extraordinary Gothic churches, and the Imperial Castle.

Take free time to make a wish at the striking fountain on the Hauptmarkt (Main Square)—a perfect ending to a memorable Danube River cruise vacation!
