Art and History on the Danube - MS Oscar Wilde

Winners 2022 Best for Solo
Winners 2022 Best River Cruise Line
This action-packed cruise will uncover some of Europe’s most fascinating history as our knowledgeable experts take you back in time to reveal how art and architecture along the Danube have been influenced by life on the river.   From imposing basilicas that hide some of the region's most spectacular art to the opulent royal residence of the Habsburg rulers, Schönbrunn Palace. We'll deep dive into the significance the Danube played on European history - and enjoy some breathtaking views along the way. You'll be joined by our knowledgeable experts - who'll captivate you with stories the history books didn’t cover and reveal insider secrets known only to the locals.  We'll spend our days uncovering the history and art of three capital cities (and some of the historic landmarks in between) and the evenings enjoying life on the river on our luxury river cruise ship. This holiday is a unique twist on our popular Blue Danube river cruise, ideal for those with an interest in art and history.

MS Oscar Wilde

It is extremely difficult to convey just how extraordinary this outstanding ship really is and exactly what distinguishes it from similar vessels. It would be very easy to just say ‘luxurious’ but it’s much more than that; we have deliberately avoided the current trend for a minimalist style where you could be anywhere in the world, creating instead a unique yet exquisite blend of understated taste, style and elegance at the highest level. Immediately striking is just how exceptionally spacious this new vessel is as you enter a gleaming, richly coloured marble-floored lobby flooded with natural light from a stunning atrium above. Moving inside, exceptional creativity from Europe’s finest design studio has produced a superbly balanced masterpiece of onboard style, utilising sustainable rich hardwoods, gleaming brass and polished copper, sparkling glass and intricate wrought iron. The ship is beautifully illuminated throughout – including the exterior and imaginatively furnished with harmonious colour schemes, all designed to create the serene atmosphere reflective of the golden age of cruising which time after time you tell us you adore.
