Experience the magic of the Danube as you explore Europe’s most captivating cities and enchanting riverside gems.

Set sail on a dreamy journey down the peaceful Danube River, exploring four of Central Europe’s most captivating countries — Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary. This scenic voyage brings you to a collection of storied capitals, riverside gems, and cultural landmarks that beautifully capture the heart of the region.

Your adventure begins in Passau, Germany, the enchanting “City of Three Rivers,” where the Danube, Inn, and Ilz meet. Stroll cobblestone streets lined with pastel patrician homes, and admire the baroque splendor of St. Stephen’s Cathedral, home to one of the world’s largest pipe organs.

Continue to Linz, Austria, a vibrant blend of old and new. Wander the expansive Hauptplatz, Austria’s largest medieval square, and soak in the charm of its lively cafés, shops, and centuries-old architecture.

As you glide into the scenic Wachau Valley, one of Europe's most beloved wine regions, the landscape transforms into terraced vineyards, hilltop castles, and riverside villages. Enjoy guided visits to the magnificent Melk Abbey, perched high above the river, and the fairytale town of Dürnstein, famous for its striking blue and white Stiftskirche. Here, sample local wines and savor the authentic flavors of the region.

Next, feel the cultural pulse of Vienna, the illustrious “City of Music.” Marvel at imperial icons like the Hofburg Palace, the Vienna Opera House, and the grand boulevards that define this elegant European capital. A guided tour reveals the city’s rich artistic heritage, followed by time to discover its cafés, museums, and markets at your own pace.

In Bratislava, Slovakia’s charming capital, explore the delightful Old Town with its colorful squares, winding alleys, and Gothic St. Martin’s Cathedral. Learn the stories behind the city’s eclectic architecture as you wander its inviting historic core.

Your journey concludes in Budapest, one of Europe’s most breathtaking capitals. A local expert will guide you through highlights such as the majestic Parliament building and the regal Buda Castle district. Cap your visit with a stroll down Váci utca, the city’s famous shopping promenade, or capture panoramic views from the terraces of Fishermen’s Bastion.
