Serenade of the Danube: Vienna, Budapest & Wachau Valley

September 13-20, 2026 - 8 days/7nights
 
Your 8-day luxury voyage begins in Germany`s Passau, the City of Three Rivers where the Danube, Inn, and Ilz Rivers converge. Then, crossing into Austria, visit Linz, birthplace of the Linzer Torte, the world’s first cake; quaint Grein, home to a 15th-century castle and the country’s oldest theatre; and lovely Dürnstein, which remains forever connected to England’s King Richard the Lionheart and his faithful minstrel Blondel. Spend two unforgettable days in Vienna, where the opulent palaces and Baroque architecture simply invite you to waltz! Afterward, discover the spirit of Hungary, with port stops in Esztergom, one of the country`s oldest towns, and, of course, Budapest, the exquisite capital spanning both banks of the Danube.

  • Whichever suite you choose on our 5-star luxury cruise ship, you will always make the right choice. Of course, they differ in nuance and size, but they all have in common fine materials such as leather and velvet, elegant marble bathrooms and king-size beds - and a comfortable sofa or armchair in which to relax. 
  • Four different restaurants offer you culinary experiences. You will feel where you are not only by the scenery, but also by the creations of our chefs. As the luxury cruise ship glides along the Danube through the different regions, the specialities change too. From modern interpretations of dishes from the crown lands of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire to fine Italian pasta dishes and delicious tapas. 
  • Work out in the gym with Technogym equipment or swim competitive laps - the pool's counter-current system challenges you to perform at your best. And the outdoor track on deck 3 is perfect for jogging and walking. Fancy a sauna? Anytime. Riverside Mozart has two spa areas: one for men and one for women, each with a Finnish sauna and steam room.

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
