Got a few days? Let us show you the world—or at least a spectacular part of it! Austria has a reputation for its beauty and culture…and with good reason. On this 4-day sojourn, you’ll cruise along the magnificent Danube, visiting some of the country’s most celebrated places. Begin in Vienna, the much-adored City of Music that historical figures like Strauss, Mozart, Freud, Klimt, Marie Antoinette, and others once called home. Then, cruise through the spectacular scenery of the Wachau Valley to see its castles, terraced vineyards, and orchards—and maybe to even sample some of Europe’s most delectable wines and apricot products! In Melk, explore the library of ancient manuscripts in the 11th-century Benedictine abbey, then visit 14th-century Grein and tiny Dürnstein, where King Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned in 1192 as he returned home from the Crusades. Back in Vienna, spend a memorable final night—the perfect way to conclude your adventure!
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.
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.
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.
