Glide along the river, exploring Budapest’s grandeur, Vienna’s imperial elegance, and Bratislava’s charming Old Town. With expert-guided tours, delicious cuisine, and time to explore at your own pace, every stop brings new discoveries.
Day 1: Arrive in Budapest
Fly to Budapest. On arrival, transfer to your ship. Spend some time settling into your cabin before dinner.
Day 2: Budapest
This morning, explore the city with a choice of two tours. The first is a panoramic coach tour which takes you past the city’s most famous landmarks, with time to explore at Hero’s Square and Buda castle. Alternatively, you can choose a more active walking tour, which takes you around the castle area and Fisherman’s bastion before offering free time. Head back to the ship for lunch, during which the ship will leave Budapest and begin sailing through the Danube Bend.
Day 3: Bratislava
You spend the morning sailing along the Danube, enjoying beautiful landscapes from the sun deck. The ship then docks in Bratislava, where you’ll disembark after lunch for a guided tour. In the company of a local guide, explore the old town, making your way to the castle which overlooks the city. Then, continue to Michael’s Gate. The rest of the day before dinner is free for you to explore the city at leisure. After dinner, enjoy a performance by a string quartet in the onboard lounge.
Day 4: Vienna
Wake up in Vienna, which you’ll explore this morning on a panoramic coach tour along the Ringstrasse. After the tour, you can choose to continue your tour on foot through the old town or explore independently. Return to the ship for lunch and an afternoon of sailing before finishing the day with the Chef’s Dinner.
Day 5: Return home
After breakfast, disembark the ship and return to Budapest airport for your flight home.
