Tour Itinerary

Discover the fascinating Danube with its charming small towns and exciting cities on this river cruise vacation. Begin your vacation with a 2-night city stay in Vienna, the “City of Music.” Then, embark on your Danube River cruise to explore the natural beauty of Austria’s Wachau Valley, Slovakia’s capital of Bratislava, and the vibrant Hungarian city of Budapest, where you’ll disembark and spend an additional two nights.

Day 1: (Thu.) Board your overnight transatlantic flight.

Day 2: Vienna, Austria.
(Fri.) Welcome to Vienna, Austria’s capital, which is known as the “City of Music” and inspired the creative genius of Mozart, Beethoven, and Strauss. The remainder of the day is yours to start exploring this elegant city.

Day 3: Vienna.
(Sat.) Once the center of the mighty Habsburg Empire, Vienna has much to offer: the lavish Hofburg Palace, the impressive Vienna Opera House, the majestic Ring Boulevard, and awe-inspiring St. Stephen’s Cathedral, to name just a few of the sights you will enjoy during your included tour. You do not rush through Vienna; you waltz, taking your time to savor each classic sight and sound. An optional concert is available during your stay. (B)

Day 4: Vienna, Austria (Embarkation).
(Sun.) Vienna, Austria’s capital, is known as the “City of Music” and inspired the creative genius of Mozart, Beethoven, and Strauss. This afternoon, board your river cruise vessel and meet your crew at a WELCOME RECEPTION. (D)

Day 5: Melk–Dürnstein.
(Mon.) Today is dedicated to the beautiful and romantic Wachau Valley, where so much of the excellent Austrian wines are grown and produced. This morning, visit the impressive BENEDICTINE ABBEY of Melk, which towers over the town. Lounge on the Sky Deck with a glass of white wine while enjoying the scenery as you sail to Dürnstein, whose baroque blue and white STIFTSKIRCHE stands right on the river bank. Explore on your own or choose one of a variety of optional excursions your Cruise Director will propose. (B,L,D)

Day 6: Bratislava, Slovakia.
(Tue.) Situated at the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, Bratislava is the dynamic capital of Slovakia. The charming Old Town with its Town Hall and Mirbach Palace as well as the gothic cathedral of ST. MARTIN should not be missed. (B,L,D)

Day 7: Budapest, Hungary (Disembarkation).
(Wed.) Seven bridges, including the famous Chain and Elisabeth Bridges, connect ancient Buda on the right bank with Pest on the left. The massive hilltop castle complex with FISHERMEN’S BASTION and the Matthias Church are among the many sights a Local Guide will show you. This afternoon you can explore this vibrant city at your own pace. (B)

Day 8: Budapest.
(Thu.) A free day to enjoy Hungary’s exciting capital. Shop for renowned peasant embroidery, Herend porcelain, and paprika. Your Cruise Director will have suggestions for many things to do. (B)

Day 9: Budapest.
(Fri.) Your homebound flight arrives the same day. (B)
