Scenery and Cities of the Danube
Step aboard Spirit of the Danube and begin this all-inclusive river cruise in 2025 by sailing through the UNESCO-listed scenery of the Wachau Valley en route to the Austrian city of Linz. Spend the day exploring independently, then sail overnight into Germany to visit Passau, which has an attractive skyline of historic spires and towers.
After an overnight sailing, spend the morning in Melk, famed for its Benedictine abbey. Return through the Wachau Valley to Bratislava. Take the land train from your ship to Bratislava Castle and enjoy an included walking tour along the cobbled streets of the Old Town. Cruise through the attractive scenery of the Danube Bend to Budapest, where an included coach tour will reveal the city’s highlights, such as Heroes Square and St Stephen’s Basilica. Visit the scenic town of Esztergom before cruising the Danube back into Austria.
Look forward to a full day in the capital Vienna where you can explore the historic Ringstrasse, home to the ornate Austrian Parliament Building and St Stephen’s Cathedral, on an included excursion.
