From the medieval city of Regensburg in Germany whose bridge was the first built over the Danube, continue to Passau. One of Germany’s oldest cities it lies at the confluence of the Inn, Ilz and Danube rivers.

Crossing into Austria visit the 900 year-old Benedictine Abbey of Melk with its architectural treasures. Cruise through the terraced vineyards of the Wachau wine region and explore Durnstein village with its medieval cobblestone streets and old burgher houses.

Further down the river reach Vienna, Austria’s capital and a centre of art, culture and history. Visit its spectacular Gothic, Baroque and neoclassical monuments and palaces - perhaps take in a music event. Try the famous pastries or explore the famous boutiques.

Cruise to Bratislava, the Slovakian capital with its charming old town and castle. Then traverse the Danube Bend, where the river reverses direction and on to Budapest. One of Europe’s most beautiful cities, seven bridges link the anncient hilltop city of Buda and its folk-filled taverns with the monuments and museums of more modern Pest.

A Danube river cruise enables you to discover the art, music and history of the Danube valley as well as the spectacular scenery.
