Journey Through Europe's Most Storied Waterways
Budapest, Hungary
Discover the best of both sides of Hungary’s dazzling capital. Spend the morning exploring historic Buda, where fairytale towers, sweeping panoramas, and the iconic Matthias Church await. Choose a guided city tour or an invigorating hike up Castle Hill. In the afternoon, cross into vibrant Pest to admire architectural masterpieces like the Hungarian Parliament Building, Heroes’ Square, and the deeply moving Shoes on the Danube memorial.
Bratislava, Slovakia
Step into centuries of regal history as you explore Bratislava, once the crowning city for Hungarian kings and queens. Wander the charming Old Town on a guided walking tour, savor local flavors on the Tastes of Slovakia experience, or take in sweeping views with an invigorating hike to the hilltop castle. Each option offers its own unforgettable glimpse into this enchanting capital.
Vienna, Austria
Vienna welcomes you with timeless beauty and imperial grandeur. Begin your exploration among its most iconic treasures—from the stately Opera House to the opulent Habsburg Palace complex—before wandering through the storybook streets of the historic city center. Choose to admire St. Stephen’s Cathedral up close or discover Vienna’s charm on a guided bike ride. Later, immerse yourself in the splendor of Schönbrunn Palace and its sweeping Baroque gardens, a stunning testament to the city’s royal heritage.
Krems & Spitz, Austria
Explore the charming village of Dürnstein with its Baroque beauty, apricot delicacies, and scenic trails. Visit the stunning Melk Abbey or choose an active Danube adventure before ending the day with an exclusive tasting of the Wachau Valley’s celebrated wines.
Linz, Austria
Linz offers a day full of choice and charm. Set out on a full-day excursion to Salzburg’s iconic Sound of Music sites or explore the fairytale Czech town of Český Krumlov. Stay local with a walking tour through Linz’s UNESCO creative district or a bike ride along the Cultural Mile, then round out your day with an engaging whiskey distillery tour.
Passau & Vilshofen, Germany
Begin your day in Passau, the “City of Three Rivers,” where you can explore its Gothic and Baroque architecture on a guided walking tour, hike up to the historic Veste Oberhaus fortress, or enjoy a scenic bike ride along the River Inn.
