The sights and flavors of the darling Danube are yours during this memorable 4-day river journey. Embark in Vienna, Austria’s stately capital that is simply packed with grand palaces, world-class museums, and inviting coffee houses. Then, cruise in ultimate luxury into the breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Wachau Valley. Admire the pretty riverbanks lined with impressive castles and terraced vineyards and orchards! Exciting port stops include quaint Dürnstein and its fabled past with King Richard the Lionheart; Melk, home to the impressive, ochre-colored abbey with its library of ancient manuscripts, gorgeous spiral staircase, and terrace overlooking the river; and Passau, one of Germany`s busiest manufacturing centers of bladed weapons during the Renaissance!
In Vienna walk in the footsteps of famous composers like Mozart or Strauss, visit one of over one hundred museums, visit Palaces, listen to great music in the famous Opera House, watch the Lipizzaner horses train at the Spanish Riding School.
Dürnstein is famous for its beautiful blue and white abbey tower, the medieval city walls, delicious white wines and sweet apricots. For our active guests we recommend the hike up to the castle ruins overlooking the river.
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.
The port of Aschach, a technical stop on your cruise, is a small, but important river port that serves as a hub for transportation of goods and passengers along the Danube River. It is located on the northern bank of the river, about 15 kilometers west of the city of Linz. In addition to its role in the transportation of goods and passengers, the port of Aschach also serves as a hub for recreational activities along the Danube River. There are numerous hiking and cycling trails in the surrounding area, and the river is popular for fishing, boating, and other water sports
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.
