Type of Cruise River
Departure Date 02 May 2027
Cruise Description Treat yourself to the ultimate sampling of central European delights on this special sailing, departing only once in 2027! Start on the Rhine River, where you’ll be granted early entry to a mesmerizing digital art experience in Amsterdam, hike amongst the treetops of Bamberg, and sample altbier in Düsseldorf. Cross Germany via the Main River to make your own wine in Franconia and explore a grand countryside estate, where you’ll be welcomed by the Baron who calls it home. Two full days in Vienna, with overnight stays to allow for deeper discoveries, are the crown on top of this unforgettable travel experience.

Day 1 - Amsterdam (Embark)
Arrive at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. If your cruise package includes a group arrival transfer or if you have purchased a private arrival transfer, you will be greeted by a Uniworld representative and transferred to the ship.

Day 2 - Amsterdam
The Netherlands’ largest city, Amsterdam has been an international port and financial center for 400 years, endowing it with a lively cosmopolitan feeling to match its historic architecture.
* This evening, a special Captain’s Welcome Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you.

Day 3 - Düsseldorf
Discover Düsseldorf, a small city with a big-city atmosphere—picture a modern setting where plentiful green spaces merge with cutting-edge architecture, art, luxury shopping, an exciting bar and restaurant scene, and a penchant for the avant-garde.

Day 4 - Rüdesheim, Mainz
Experience the most spectacular scenery on the Rhine this morning as you cruise past the famous Middle Rhine Valley. Later, explore the enchanting town of Rüdesheim. Like many cities along the Rhine, Rüdesheim dates back to Roman times, when the Rhine was the northern border of the empire. Today, Rüdesheim is famous for its beauty and its entertaining alley of shops and wine bars called the Drosselgasse.

Day 5 - Miltenberg
The perfect German village calls for a day full of quintessential German experiences. Resting on the left bank of the Main, Miltenberg is classically quaint with its charming squares, farmland, biking and pedestrian paths, impressive castles, and one of Germany’s oldest inns.

Day 6 - Würzburg
Your ship will dock in the charming Franconian town of Würzburg, where you can visit the extraordinary Würzburg Residence, one of the most opulent baroque palaces in Europe.

Day 7 - Volkach
Your day brings you to Volkach and the heart of the Franconian wine country. It’s a region full of overwhelming natural beauty, rooted communities, marvelous flavors, and villages that have been making wine for countless generations.

Day 8 - Bamberg
Bamberg has often been regarded as one of Germany’s most attractive settlements, with its picturesque architecture, intersecting canals and rivers, and charming stores and restaurants. Like Rome, the city is built on seven hills—but in Bamberg, a church tops each one.

Day 9 - Nuremberg, Roth
Head up to the top deck or find a seat with a good view—you won’t want to miss seeing the ship navigate its way through a marvel of modern engineering, the Main-Danube Canal. A formidable set of locks, 16 in all, lifts your ship to the crest of the European “continental divide.” Arrive in the archetypal medieval German city of Nuremberg. Nuremberg is justifiably famous for its gingerbread and pocket watches, and it was also the site of some key moments in 20th-century history.

Day 10 - Regensburg
Bavaria’s first capital, Regensburg, owes its impressive historical lineage and rich architectural heritage to 600 years as a Free Imperial City, a fact recognized by UNESCO in 2006. Today, you’ll discover how the beautifully preserved medieval city coexists with a vibrant modern urban center.

Day 11 - Passau, Engelhartszell
Located at the confluence of three rivers—the Danube, Inn, and Ilz— Passau is well known for its ornate baroque cathedral. Today, the city is unusually well preserved, having been spared the brunt of Allied bombing during WWII, as you’ll see on your walking tour.

Day 12 - Dürnstein
Dürnstein is one of our favorite towns along the Danube, a lovely place to wander cobblestone lanes and browse quaint shops. For your included tour today, opt for a tasting of organic wines or a private visit to Schloss Stetteldorf.
* In the evening, a special Captain’s Farewell Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you.

Day 13 - Vienna
The grand dame of the Danube, Vienna was the heart of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and remains, to this day, the political and cultural center of Austria. Klimt painted here; Beethoven and Mozart composed here; Freud developed his theories here. It’s a treasure trove of splendid architecture, astonishing art collections, and inviting cafés—and today it is yours to explore.

Day 14 - Vienna
Enjoy a full day exploring Vienna at your leisure. Your Cruise Manager is an excellent resource for local recommendations, whether you’re looking to do a little shopping, take a stroll through one of the city’s attractive parks, have a slice of cake with coffee at a classic Viennese café, or anything else your heart desires.

Day 15 - Vienna (Disembark)
Check out and disembark the ship this morning. If your cruise/tour package includes a group departure transfer or if you purchased a private departure transfer, you will be transferred to Vienna International Airport for your flight home.
