Experience the gems of the Austrian Danube on this special 5-day discovery cruise. Begin and end in Vienna, a city renowned for its lavish Baroque architecture, world-class museums, and rich coffeehouse culture. Then, continue to a wonderful lineup of ports, including Grein, where you’ll be fascinated by the curiosities in Austria’s oldest theater, and Linz, the birthplace of the Linzer torte, the world’s first cake. In Melk, explore a splendid 11th-century abbey that houses an extensive collection of ancient manuscripts, along with endless views over the river. You`ll also enjoy Dürnstein, known for its striking blue and white tower and legendary ties to King Richard the Lionheart. As you pass through the picturesque Wachau Valley, you`ll discover a wonderland of apricot orchards, vineyards, and regal riverbank castles—like a vision from a postcard!
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
