Venture into Budapest's storied past when sailing aboard our Danube river cruise. Budapest is one of the most important European cities. Thermal baths, imperial architecture and a magnificent skyline that illuminates at night. It is home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, a foodie capital and the birthplace of Harry Houdini, Zsa Zsa Gabor, and Noble Prize winner George Olah and many more.
Quietly slip into the heart of Slovakia, where medieval castles crown hilltops and pastel-colored old towns line the riverbanks. As you glide along the Danube, you’ll discover Bratislava’s charming cobblestone streets, vibrant café culture, and rich blend of Slovak, Austrian, and Hungarian influences. It’s a relaxed yet culturally immersive journey—an effortless way to experience one of Europe’s most captivating and often overlooked gems.

In Vienna, the cruise brings you right to the doorstep of imperial palaces, grand cafés, and the city’s legendary music scene. It’s a smooth, scenic journey that blends culture, history, and effortless elegance—classic Austria at its finest.
