Danube - one river, four countries
Your Cruise
Passau – Dürnstein – Vienna – Budapest – Bratislava – Melk – Passau
- Classic Danube – Austria, Hungary and Slovakia
- Relaxed city break: Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava
- Passage Wachau
Disembarking in the three-river city of Passau, you decide to cruise on the deep blue Danube. After passing the Schlögener Schlinge in the upper Danube valley, the simple Blue Tower of the Collegiate Church, which is considered a landmark of the Wachau, will inspire you in Dürnstein. Vienna is much more pompous: enjoy an emotional serenade, visit a typical Viennese coffee house or let yourself be inspired by the romantic castles. In Budapest you will fall in love with the imposing Castle Palace, in Bratislava with the Presidential Palace in a mix of Rococo and Late Baroque styles. Finally, stroll through the baroque Melk Abbey and take a last look over the blooming Wachau. Seldom has it been so difficult to say goodbye!
