DANUBE DREAMS RIVER CRUISE WITH PRAGUE

Begin your journey with two immersive nights in Budapest, soaking in the rich culture and beauty of Hungary’s capital before setting sail on a scenic 8-Day Danube River cruise. Over the course of your adventure, you'll visit five different countries—Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Germany, and the Czech Republic—exploring imperial cities, charming villages, and stunning landscapes along the way. From wine tasting in the Wachau Valley to wandering cobblestone streets in Passau, and admiring Vienna’s grand architecture, every day brings a new delight. Best of all, you'll share the experience with like-minded friends who embrace the joy of travel and the freedom of retirement. Your journey ends with two magical nights in Prague, where medieval wonders and timeless charm offer the perfect finale.
