This exciting luxury cruise devotes five amazing days to Hungary in the heart of the Danube Basin. Begin and end in breathtaking Budapest, whose majesty spills out onto both banks of the river. Explore its impressive waterside Parliament, Heroes’ Square, Fisherman’s Bastion, Castle District, and more as you learn what life was like here under Communism—and about the unbreakable spirit of the people. There’s just so much to see and do! Cruise on to Komárom for a visit of its 10th-century abbey; ancient Esztergom, the country’s capital from the 10th until the mid-13th centuries; and the chance to explore Visegrád with its castles and royal palace. Finally, the highlight of the cruise is a showstopping twilight arrival back in Budapest—unforgettable!
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.
A city divided and reunited throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, even today, Komárom's southern section is part of Hungary and its northern part is Slovakian. A few of its many highlights include a picturesque Old Town with a decidedly Eastern European ambiance; an imposing 14-wing, 640-room fortress complex, the largest modern fort in Central Europe, that played an important role in the Hungarian Revolution; archaeological findings of a military city with a 1,700-year-old bathing culture exhibited in the Brigeto Visitor Center; and the 10th-century Pannonhalma Archabbey, one of the country’s oldest historical monuments and the second-largest territorial abbey in the world.
The Basilica of Esztergom is the largest church of the country and home of the catholic church. Another highlight in this region are the fortress ruins of Visegrad and the so-called Danube knee – the scenic stretch between Esztergom and Budapest.
Visegrad is a small town located in Hungary, on the banks of the Danube river. It is known for its picturesque scenery, rich history, and impressive medieval fortress.
