Danube Splendor to Welcome the New Year
About This Cruise
Welcome the New Year in Budapest!
Celebrate an unforgettable New Year’s River Cruise along the majestic Danube. Your journey begins in Passau, the picturesque “Venice of Bavaria.” From there, you sail downstream to Melk, where the impressive Benedictine Abbey rises above the river. Next, discover Vienna, the city of waltz and imperial palaces, with its grand architecture and cozy cafés.
The highlight awaits in Budapest: ring in the New Year amidst sparkling lights, watching fireworks over the illuminated Parliament and the Chain Bridge. On New Year’s Day, the city awakens slowly, while the winter Danube shimmers in the morning glow.
Continue to Esztergom, the “Cradle of Hungary,” with its monumental Basilica. Then explore Bratislava, the charming Slovak capital with its medieval Old Town and castle overlooking the river. In Linz, you’ll encounter a blend of baroque heritage and modern culture before returning to Passau.
Throughout the voyage, admire the enchanting winter landscapes: rolling hills, frosted vineyards, and historic castles lining the riverbanks. Onboard, indulge in festive gala dinners, live music, and a truly memorable New Year celebration.
