Vienna and the Cities of the Danube
This all-inclusive Danube river cruise in 2025 starts in Vienna, where you have time to explore independently and on an included excursion that will reveal the highlights of Austria’s elegant capital by coach and on foot. Following a full day in Vienna, spend a morning cruising the Upper Danube to Krems. From here, enjoy an included excursion to Göttweig Abbey, founded in 1083 by the Bishop of Passau.
Continue cruising, taking in the UNESCO-listed landscape of the scenic Wachau Valley, known for its vineyards, monasteries and castle ruins. Spend an afternoon in the historic town of Melk, famed for its Benedictine abbey, then sail overnight to Linz. A full day in this diverse city provides the perfect opportunity to stroll the cobblestone streets of the Old Town, passing the baroque-style buildings and main square.
Sail overnight into Germany to spend a full day in the historic city of Passau, set at the confluence of the Danube, the Ilz and the Inn rivers. Set out on foot to discover the highlights, such as the baroque St Stephen's Cathedral and the old and new Bishop's Palaces.
Following an overnight sailing, awaken in Regensburg for an included morning walking tour of the city. There are many fine examples of Romanesque and Gothic architecture to be seen in the UNESCO-listed old part.
