Capital Cities of the Danube
About This Cruise
The great Danube River, once the lifeblood of empires, has been home to Europe's greatest cities for eons. Join us on a journey spanning the four capital cities that sit along the banks of the Danube—glittering Vienna, charming Bratislava, eclectic Budapest, and storied Belgrade. As we go, we'll contrast the hustle and bustle of city life with blissful countryside views and stops in a couple of our favorite towns in between.
This itinerary will host our 2026 Golden President's Cruise departing on the 25th of October. Sail with Uniworld's President & CEO Ellen Bettridge in honor of our 50th Anniversary.
Uniworld also offers a 10-day version of this itinerary, featuring additional excursions in Vienna. Click here for more information.
