The Danube & Beyond

The blue Danube, one of the great rivers of Europe that conjures the romantic grandeur of a bygone era. Witness the cathedrals, castles, forests and farmland of this historic region aboard a river cruise that gently takes you from Germany, through Austria, to Slovakia. Make a stop to visit the spectacular medieval Czech city of Cesky Krumlov with its 13th Century castle and gorgeous riverfront setting. Visit the grand churches and indulgent shops of picturesque Salzburg on the edge of the Austrian Alps, and lose yourself in the culture and cafes of Vienna. The upper Danube region finishes at Bratislava, where you can enjoy outdoor markets and Slovakian hospitality.
