Cruise Description |
Why wait? Reserve your space today to bid Adieu to the Old Year and embrace the New Year during this fantastic luxury cruise along the Danube. Embark in Passau, Germany’s elegant City of Three Rivers, then cross into Austria for a stop in Linz, where the world’s first cake was invented, as well as the incredible Benedictine abbey in Melk, and Vienna, the Habsburg Empire’s lavish capital and Europe’s beloved City of Music. Onward to Budapest, Hungary’s unforgettable capital spanning both banks of the river, and Bratislava for a fun and festive, Slovak-style New Year’s Eve, complete with food, drinks, and local traditions to help you celebrate. Return to Vienna for New Year’s Day and the conclusion of your adventure!
PASSAU, GERMANY
The city sits at the confluence of three rivers and had therefore military importance. The fortress Veste Oberhaus now houses the museum and the Dom features a great organ.
LINZ, AUSTRIA
Austria’s third largest city and famous for its baroque styled Main Square, beautiful old town center, great shopping, the Schloss Museum and the Mariendom which can hold 20.000 worshippers.
MELK, AUSTRIA
Melk’s main attraction is the abbey, where Benedictine monks still live and dedicate their work to culture and education. Another highlight close by is the Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand Museum auf Castle Artstetten.
BUDAPEST, HUNGARY
Budapest has much to offer like the Castle Garden Bazaar, the Fisherman’s Bastion or Mathias Church. There are plenty of highlights to explore or guests can choose to relax in one of the many hot springs spas the city is famous for.
BRATISLAVA, SLOVAKIA
Guest love Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, because the Old City Center is for pedestrians only and easy to explore. Add the great local food, wine and beer and you understand why guests return.
VIENNA, AUSTRIA
This is the city of classical music. It’s Mozart and Strauss. It's street art on a sandy beach and fun in the countryside. It’s bohemia and bourgeoisie and the finest baroque. And of course Art Nouveau. It’s bad-tempered waiters in great coffee houses. It’s Sigmund Freud and Gustav Klimt and Adolf Loos and Friedensreich Hundertwasser and Sisi and many others. It is the Spanish Riding School, an event for horse lovers. And of course it is the city of Schmah (jokes anyone?) and scandals, on which the Viennese feast like cows on fresh grass on the alpine pasture. Last but not least: Vienna is the city on the Danube. Although it was not always so. The Viennese Danube river front is an artificial structure which was only created in the 19th century. Before that, the Danube flowed past Vienna in many arms through floodplains and uninhabited areas. Today, the Riverside can also dock right in front of the city. And then it starts. Marvel, wonder and rejoice. Vienna is a dream.
