Board your ship in Budapest, then explore the city’s old-world charm before enjoying evening cocktails and dinner.

Bratislava welcomes you with its royal heritage and vibrant streets. From sampling traditional Slovak flavors to climbing to the town’s historic castle for sweeping views, every corner reveals the city’s enduring charm.

The Wachau Valley’s vineyard-clad hills and storybook riverside views has earned it a UNESCO World Heritage Site distinction. After taking in some of Austria’s most idyllic vistas, witness the enduring beauty of Austria’s fabled history at Melk Abbey, which dazzles with Baroque grandeur.

In Linz, contemporary architecture meets historic charm. Choose between traversing through Linz’s city streets on bike, taking a tour of Salzburg’s vibrant musical history, or visiting the storybook streets and grand castle of Cesky Krumlov. Each journey offers a thoughtful exploration of Austria’s rich cultural heritage.

Take in the beauty of Austrian vistas on a leisurely cruise down the Danube, replete with ample relaxation time. In the afternoon, explore Vienna’s elegance, whether on a horse-drawn carriage or by pedaling down the Ringstrasse on bike. 

Admire Vienna’s imperial elegance at Schönbrunn Palace, where you’ll find Baroque grandeur and sprawling gardens. Stroll through the city, where grand boulevards, charming squares, and hidden corners reveal Vienna’s enduring beauty. 

Budapest unfolds along the Danube with its captivating blend of culture and tradition. On the Buda side, the Castle District enchants with fairytale turrets, colorful mosaics, and sweeping panoramas of the city. Across the river, Pest reveals grand landmarks. In the evening, enjoy an exclusive Lunar New Year Gala Celebration.
