Join us on an unforgettable river cruise along the Danube, where picturesque landscapes, cities steeped in history and cultural highlights come together in harmony. Your journey begins in the imperial metropolis Vienna, where magnificent palaces, splendid boulevards and the sounds of classical music characterize the atmosphere. Enjoy a stroll through the historic old town or sample a slice of Sachertorte in a traditional coffee house.

On board, your comfortable ship glides through gentle bends in the river to Linz, a city characterized by its modern art scene, the Ars Electronica Center and baroque architecture. The past and future merge here in a fascinating way.

The journey continues to the three-river city of Passau, where the Danube, Inn and Ilz rivers meet. Admire the imposing St. Stephen's Cathedral with the largest cathedral organ in the world or stroll through narrow streets full of charm. In Regensburg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, an architectural gem awaits you: well-preserved medieval buildings, narrow streets and the impressive Stone Bridge over the Danube.

Finally, you reach Nuremberg, a city full of historical significance, known for its old town with the imposing Imperial Castle, the Toy Museum and its role in world history. The mixture of half-timbered romance and historical depth gives the city its very special charm.

This river cruise is a symphony of culture, nature and enjoyment. Relax on board, take in the passing landscapes and discover the cultural treasures of Central Europe on shore excursions.
