About This Cruise

The river cruise begins in Vienna, Austria’s imperial capital. Palaces such as Schönbrunn and the Hofburg, the Ringstrasse, and the famous St. Stephen’s Cathedral reflect grandeur, while coffeehouses and music breathe life into the city.

The first stop is Vác in Hungary, a charming town with baroque churches, a lively square, and a relaxed riverside atmosphere.

Next is Budapest, Hungary’s dazzling capital. Highlights include the Parliament, the Fisherman’s Bastion, and the Chain Bridge. Buda offers its castle on the hill, while Pest features boulevards, cafés, and thermal baths.

In Bratislava, Slovakia’s capital, the castle overlooks the old town, full of palaces, narrow alleys, and relaxed flair. The view over the Danube is unforgettable.

The journey continues to Melk, famed for its baroque abbey above the Wachau Valley. Its ornate halls, library, and location among vineyards make it a jewel of the Danube.

In Linz, Austria’s cultural hub, tradition and innovation meet. The baroque main square, the Lentos Art Museum, and the Ars Electronica Center showcase both history and modern creativity.

Finally, the ship returns to Vienna, where the cruise concludes with memories of culture, history, and breathtaking landscapes along the Danube.

Itinerary

Austria

Vienna

Austria’s capital is one of those cities that every traveler should visit at least once in their lifetime. Hardly any other city in the world offers such an enchanting combination of magnificent architecture, world-famous museums and theaters, and beautiful green spaces. It’s no wonder that Vienna’s entire city center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Vienna is known worldwide for its palaces of emperors, kings, and nobles, such as Schönbrunn Palace, the Belvedere, and the Hofburg. But the city’s many churches—especially St. Stephen’s Cathedral, its iconic landmark—are also well worth a visit. Museum lovers will certainly get their money’s worth at the city’s numerous world-class museums, such as the Albertina, the Kunsthistorisches Museum, and the Leopold Museum.

Hungary

Budapest

“Pearl of the Danube” or perhaps “Paris of the East”? One thing is certain: Budapest has so much to offer! Even from a distance, the Parliament Building, situated on the riverbank, greets visitors and allows the Hungarian capital to shine in its former glory. The imposing Chain Bridge invites you to explore the Buda and Pest districts, which are adorned with Art Nouveau buildings, wide boulevards, and historic thermal baths. After enjoying a slice of the famous Baumkuchen, you can appreciate the breathtaking view from Castle Hill—with its Royal Palace and the impressive Fisherman’s Bastion—even more.

Slovakia

Bratislava

The capital of Slovakia lies on the border with Austria and Hungary. Approximately 450,000 people live there. Bratislava’s Old Town dates back to the 18th century and, thanks to its car-free zone, is perfect for strolling. The city’s famous dark beer is served in the local cafés and bars. Perched on a hill is Bratislava’s landmark—Bratislava Castle. From its terrace, you have the best view of the city and the Danube.

Austria

Melk

Melk has earned itself a lovely nickname: the gateway to the Wachau. Anyone approaching this historic town along the Danube will soon spot Melk Abbey, which towers high above the river. The abbey is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is worth a visit in every season. This impressive Baroque complex has been cared for by monks of the Benedictine Order since 1089. Culture, faith, and scholarship come together in the monastery’s magnificent halls.

Austria

Linz

Linz is the capital of the state of Upper Austria. Around the central main square, churches, pretty facades, and charming shops invite you to take a stroll through the old town. Once you’re here, be sure to stop by one of the cozy coffeehouses and enjoy the world-famous Linzer Torte—it tastes best right where it comes from. A breathtaking panorama unfolds from the Pörstlingberg, which can be reached on foot or conveniently by mountain railway. From the observation deck and the Baroque pilgrimage church, we recommend a detour to the Grottenbahn, an enchanting fairy-tale world that makes not only children’s eyes light up.
