You’ll feel beyond blessed during this exceptional luxury cruise that spends Holy Week on the Danube. Begin in Passau, Germany`s City of Three Rivers, where you’ll have time to explore and maybe join the locals for Good Friday services if you like. From here, encounter nature at its best as you cruise through the dramatic Schlögen Loop and the castle- and vineyard-filled Wachau Valley! Stop in the quaint village of Grein, where Austria’s oldest theater has plenty of fascinating stories, and Dürnstein with its distinctive blue and white tower and looming clifftop castle ruin. Finally, visit three splendid Danube capitals in a row, with Easter Sunday in Vienna, Easter Monday in Bratislava, and two unforgettable days in Budapest, Hungary’s irrepressible Queen of the Danube!
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
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.
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.
Guest love Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, because the Old City Center is for pedestrians only and easy to explore. Add the great local food, wine and beer and you understand why guests return.
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.
