Germany, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Poland
aboard the M.S. AMADEUS ROYAL
Join us on this exclusive journey through the heart of Central Europe, once the glorious realm of Habsburg Emperors. Here, in the land of exceptional natural and man-made beauty, soaring Gothic cathedrals tower above medieval cities, ornate Baroque churches look out over peaceful country towns and the Danube River carves its way through lush hills, valleys, vineyards and forests.
This carefully designed itinerary introduces you to six Central European countries and includes visits to six UNESCO World Heritage sites. Enjoy accommodations aboard the chartered, deluxe M.S. AMADEUS ROYAL, one of the finest ships to ply the waterways of Europe, and in deluxe hotels, while exploring the well-preserved, historic city centers of Vienna, Budapest, Ceský Krumlov, Prague and Kraków—virtual open-air museums of Central European history and architecture. Embark the ship in lovely Passau, Germany, for a seven-night cruise on the magical “Blue Danube” through the spectacular Wachau Valley watching for medieval castles, stopping in the delightful storybook village of Dürnstein and exploring the architectural riches of Bratislava, Budapest, Melk Abbey and the imperial Vienna of Maria Theresa and Franz Josef. In addition, traverse the enchanting landscapes, rolling hills and woodlands of Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland en route to the treasures of Prague and Kraków.
Your experience will be enhanced by a comprehensive schedule of exclusive guided excursions, a special lecture on the Habsburg Empire, a private organ concert in Melk and a memorable private music performance in Vienna. You may also extend your Danube River and the Cultural Treasures of Central Europe travel program with the Salzburg, Austria, Two-Night Pre-Program Option and the Warsaw, Poland, Two-Night Post-Program Option.
Traveling through the heartland of Europe has never been easier or more appealing. For both new and repeat travelers to the Danube valley and Central Europe, this itinerary provides a fresh perspective on a region of wonderful cultural riches and diversity. This popular travel program, an incredible value, sells out quickly. We encourage you to make your reservations today, while Early Booking Savings are available.
