Austria`s relationship with the Danube is special—and the focus of this exceptional 8-day luxury cruise. Begin and end in Vienna, the country`s stately capital city. Discover its grand palaces, world-class museums, historical buildings lining the Ringstrasse, and its rich coffee house culture that is often imitated but never duplicated. Other unforgettable ports include Melk, home to the impressive, ochre-colored abbey with its huge library of ancient manuscripts and gorgeous spiral staircase; Linz, birthplace of the world’s first cake; Passau, one of Germany`s busiest manufacturing centers of bladed weapons during the Renaissance; and the former WWII concentration camp at Mauthausen.
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.
Visit Mauthausen concentration camp - a place of memory and a site of political and historical education or explore the Austrian countryside with a visit to Steyr or St. Florian.
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.
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.
In true Austrian style, the Rococo theater in Grein, built in 1793, was originally constructed to provide a bit of entertainment for travelers passing through. Nestled in the heart of the charming old town, this theater has been remarkably well preserved and is now housed in the wooden auditorium of the town hall. It’s a must-see attraction. Additionally, there’s Greinburg Castle, which features the Maritime Museum—a perfect place to explore the history of shipping on the Danube
Krems has much to offer; museums, historical buildings like churches and abbeys, shopping and restaurants and most of all wine. Krems is surrounded by vineyards and they produce some of the best quality wines of Austria.
