Itinerary

Switzerland

Geneva

Arrive at Geneva Airport. If you have arranged a Uniworld arrival transfer, you will be greeted at the airport and transferred to the Hotel d’Angleterre. Elegantly poised at the edge of Lake Geneva with magnificent views of the famous Jet d’Eau and Mont Blanc, the beautiful Hotel d’Angleterre effortlessly combines British charm with the finest Swiss hospitality. Tonight, toast the start of your journey with your fellow guests at our Welcome Dinner.

Switzerland

Geneva

After enjoying a relaxed start to your morning, discover the best of Geneva on a short walking tour featuring the Floral Clock and the grand Reformation Monument. Personalize your day with a relaxing cruise across Lake Geneva or a visit to the Red Cross Museum. The evening beckons with an elegant meal at Michelin-starred La Chaumière.

Switzerland

Gruyeres

Savor gourmet delicacies beginning with a tour and tasting at famed chocolatier Maison Cailler and, in Gruyères, enjoy a sumptuous lunch of fondue. Continue your journey along the Swiss Riviera to the charming town of Montreux, drinking in the grandeur of the snowcapped French Alps and the Lavaux vineyards, considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. En route to Zermatt, take in dramatic views of the Rhone valley, passing ancient forts and medieval castles.

Switzerland

Zermatt

Ascend Gornergrat Mountain on Europe’s highest open-air cogwheel railway. Bask in the dramatic scenery from larch and pine forests to colorful Alpine meadows. Cross dramatic bridges and plunge through tunnels emerging into panoramic views of mountain lakes. The summit finds you standing in awe of the Matterhorn.

Switzerland

Saint Moritz

Take a breathtaking journey through the Swiss Alps to Saint Moritz aboard the Glacier Express. Sit back in your panoramic seat and enjoy a lunch prepared on board, soaking up sensational views from your scenic carriage.

Switzerland

Saint Moritz

The dramatic peaks and sprawling meadows of St. Moritz come to life when you join a local wildlife expert on a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience for insights into the resident wildlife of St. Moritz. Alternatively, embark on a gentle mountain hike with a Swiss Mountain Guide who will acquaint you with the area’s picturesque landscape and history.

Switzerland

Lucerne

Ascend the Julier Pass alongside placid mountain lakes through fresh mountain air to the hidden treasure of Engadine Valley. In this tucked away valley dotted with flowers and distant ibexes, you’ll arrive at the picturesque Liechtenstein countryside. As a final treat, the evening finds you on a private, after-hours tour of Lucerne's Rosengart Collection.

Switzerland

Lucerne

At the Swiss Transportation Museum, learn about the future of sustainable travel in this engaging MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience. As evening sets in, cruise on Lake Lucerne to Stans, where a futuristic cable car will carry you up Mount Stanserhorn for a sumptuous meal with a view.

Switzerland

Zurich

After breakfast at your hotel, we depart for Zürich for a full day at leisure in Switzerland’s largest city. For your final stay, check into The Dolder Grand. Perched like a castle on the hill above Zürich, this hotel offers a quiet, relaxed atmosphere in which to enjoy its many bar and restaurant venues, excellent spa, or nature trails. And with its own funicular, private cars, and shuttle services, it’s as convenient a location for exploration as any in the city center. Tonight, dine on traditional Swiss fare at an elegant local restaurant.

Germany

Passau

Transfer to Passau, where your Floating Boutique HotelTM awaits. As you settle into your new home for the week, we’ll begin our cruise on the Danube River.

Germany

Passau

Passau is a crossroads in more ways than one, as three rivers meet here and three nations nearly do, making for a fascinating cultural mosaic. Get to know the town and its main claim to fame—Europe’s largest pipe organ—or “Let’s Go” with an invigorating riverside hike.

Austria

Linz

Mozart’s birthplace of Salzburg is nestled in a glorious alpine setting that sparkles like a winter wonderland. Linz may be best known for its famous Linzer torte, but it’s also a hotbed for the arts. See the sights with a local expert and visit a family at their farm in the countryside. Austria’s third-largest city, Linz boasts a long history of trading and textile manufacturing, but these days it is perhaps best known for its electronic arts and annual festival.

Austria

Dürnstein

This morning, visit the 900-year-old Melk Abbey and its extraordinary baroque-style library. Later, you will head to Dürnstein, one of our favorite towns along the Danube, a lovely place to wander cobblestone lanes, browse quaint shops, and maybe hike up to a ruined castle (with an intriguing tale all its own). You can also opt for a tasting or learn all about the world’s costliest spice from the Wachau Valley’s only saffron grower. You have two ports of call in the incredibly scenic valley, Dürnstein and Melk, and an assortment of delightful ways to explore this lovely region.

Austria

Vienna

Vienna is a cultural treasure trove revered for its art and music (and sinfully rich pastries). Experience the “City of Waltzes” with a highlight tour of the city, as well as an expertly led tour of an extraordinary collection of art at the renowned Vienna Art History Museum.

Slovakia

Bratislava

Your ship sets sail from Vienna and heads for Bratislava today. You may relax onboard all day, perhaps enjoying a drink on the Sun Deck and taking in the scenery as the ship wends its way along the Austrian Danube toward Bratislava. Although it’s not a large city, Bratislava has played a leading role in the politics and culture of the region for many centuries, and it is well worth a visit. If you opt for the walking tour today, you may choose to leave the ship by bus in Vienna and start your excursion early. This would give you time for lunch on your own in town, as well as some additional free time to enjoy Bratislava after your tour ends.

Hungary

Budapest

Budapest is an enchanting city that presents a vibrant mix of medieval and modern.

Hungary

Budapest

Disembark the ship. If you have arranged a Uniworld departure transfer, you will be and transferred to Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport for your flight home.
