The grand cities of Europe, as well as its quaint villages, meet you as you wend your way through Eastern Europe cruising the beautiful blue Danube River. We begin our cruise in Nuremberg, joining the main Danube via the Danube Canal. In Germany, you’ll tour magnificent cathedrals and stroll narrow cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses. Discover the imperial architecture of magnificent Vienna and tour towns in Austria’s picturesque Wachau Valley, with opportunities to taste local wines. Explore both sides of Hungary’s capital, traditional “Buda” and modern “Pest,” and see how the river divides the city from atop Fishermen’s Bastion. Savor the tastes of authentic dishes, learn the legends of this unique part of the world, and you’ll understand why Strauss immortalized the romantic Danube in his famous Blue Danube waltz.
