Day 1 (Sat.)
Board your overnight flight.
Day 2 Arrive in Budapest, Hungary. Transfer to Esztergom. (Embarkation) (Sun.)
Flights into Budapest must arrive before 2.30 pm. A comfortable drive from Budapest brings you to Esztergom, one of Hungary's most historical and sacred cities. Here your vessel and crew await to welcome you on board. (D)
Day 3 Bratislava, Slovakia. (Mon.)
Situated at the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, Bratislava is the dynamic capital of Slovakia. The charming Old Town with its Town Hall and Mirbach Palace, as well as the Gothic cathedral of ST. MARTIN should not be missed. (FB,L,D)
Day 4 Melk, Austria-Grein. (Tue.)
Melk’s magnificent BENEDICTINE ABBEY dominates the town from its commanding hill site and is one of Europe’s largest monasteries. The view from the terrace over the Danube and surrounding countryside is breathtaking! An attractive country resort, Grein lies at the foot of a bluff in the shadow of its castle. The turreted houses on the main square make excellent photo material. (FB,L,D)
Day 5 Passau, Germany-Linz, Austria. (Wed.)
Ideally located at the confluence of the rivers Inn, Ilz and Danube, Passau is a city of graceful arcades and cobblestone streets. St. Stephen’s Cathedral houses the world’s largest church organ with over 17,000 pipes. An optional fullday excursion to Salzburg takes in the popular Sound of Music sights. Linz, Austria’s third-largest town, lies on both banks of the Danube and is an important industrial town and busy river port. (FB,L,D)
Day 6 Dürnstein-Vienna. (Thu.)
Dürnstein, known for the magnificent baroque Stiftskirche with its blue façade, lies right in the heart of the Wachau wine region. Above town are the ruins of the castle where Richard the Lionheart, the King of England, was imprisoned in 1192. Once the center of the mighty Habsburg Empire, Vienna, Austria’s capital, has much to offer: the lavish Hofburg Palace, the impressive Vienna Opera House, the majestic Ringstrasse and awe-inspiring St. Stephen’s cathedral, to name just a few of the sights. (FB,L,D)
Day 7 Vienna. (Fri.).
Vienna is known as the “City of Music” and inspired the creative genius of Mozart, Beethoven and Strauss. You do not rush through Vienna, you waltz, and today is your chance to learn to dance to the strains of the Blue Danube. Take your time to savor each classic sight and sound the city has to offer. Shop in the Kärntnerstrasse and enjoy Sachertorte or Apfelstrudel in a neighborhood café. An optional concert is available during your stay. (FB,L,D)
Day 8 Budapest, Hungary. (Sat.)
Budapest, spanning the banks of the Danube, is the liveliest and most cosmopolitan metropolis of Eastern Europe. Seven bridges, connect ancient Buda on the right bank with Pest on the left. The massive hilltop castle complex with FISHERMEN'S BASTION and the MATTHIAS CHURCH are sights not to be missed. Shop for renowned peasant embroidery, Herend porcelain and paprika. (FB,L,D)
Day 9 Budapest. (Disembarkation) (Sun.)
Your homebound flight arrives the same day. (FB) |
