Sail right into the pages of a storybook along the legendary Danube,

through pages gilded with history, and past the turrets and towers of castles

steeped in legend. You’ll meander along the fabled “Blue Danube” to grand

cities like Vienna and Budapest where kings and queens once waltzed, and

to gingerbread towns that evoke tales of Hansel and Gretel and the Brothers

Grimm. If you listen closely, you might hear the haunting melody of the Lorelei

siren herself as you cruise past her infamous river cliff post!

During this 12-day journey, encounter the grand cities and quaint villages along

the celebrated Danube River. Explore both sides of Hungary’s capital–traditional

“Buda” and the more cosmopolitan “Pest”–and from Fishermen’s Bastion, see

how the river divides this fascinating city. Experience Vienna’s imperial architec-

ture and gracious culture, and tour riverside towns in Austria’s Wachau Valley.

And in Germany, explore a baroque cathedral and stroll cobbled streets lined

with half-timbered houses. Savor the tastes of authentic dishes, learn about local

legends, and understand why Strauss immortalized the “Blue Danube” in his

famous melody.

Danube River CruiseHere’s How YourTrip Will Unfold...DAY 1 Overnight flight to Europe(International in-flight meals)

DAY 2 Arrive in Prague Welcome to Prague. Upon arrival, we will trans-fer you to our lovely hotel in Prague– the perfect location to explore this amazing city. Catch up on your rest, and get ready for our journey to begin. (In-flight meals)

DAY 3 PragueThis morning you will discover the magic of Prague on a tour of the modern and vibrant Czech capital. Your guided walking tour of the city features many of the highlights including Old Town, Wenceslas Square and the Charles Bridge. Later, you have the option of taking the must-see tour of the historic Jewish section of town. With over a thousand years of history, the Prague Jewish Community is filled with many sites that testify to its rich cultural and legendary past. Your expert guide will take you through the Old Jewish Cemetery, one of the most iconic sites in Prague established in the 15th century and where the oldest tombstone–from poet and scholar, Avigdor Karo–remains. You’ll also visit some of the surviving synagogues before walking through Maiselova Street, one of the two main streets of the walled Jewish quarter. (B)

DAY 4 Full Free Day in Prague Today is yours to explore what TripAdvisor ranks as the 5th best world destination! You may wish to take an optional tour to see the historic Prague Castle, the largest medieval castle complex in Europe. (B)

DAY 5 Prague to Passau After your breakfast this morning we enjoy a lovely drive through the Czech countryside into Germany and our cruise embarkation at Passau, Germany. Board your home for the next seven nights, the newly appointed Amadeus Royal.

Enjoy the views from your riverboat’s sun deck, lounge, or the windows of your outside cabin as we dock in Passau.

See the Altes Rathaus, the old town hall with 14th-century origins, murals on the façade and a glockenspiel in the tower.

DAY 6 Passau to Linz & Salzburg, AustriaAfter a restful night aboard, enjoy a day of cruising to Linz, Austria, or join our day trip to Salzburg. As the birthplace of Mozart and the setting for “The Sound of Music” Salzburg is filled with Baroque architecture and the old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Literally meaning “Salt Castle”, Salburg’s fortunes came from tolls on salt barges plying the Salzach River. In the afternoon, our ship docks in Linz, home of the oldest cake in the world, and a European Cultural Capital City. (B,L,D)

DAY 7 Dürnstein, the Monastery of Melk, and Wachau Wine ValleyThis morning we arrive in the Wachau Valley for a tour of the Benedictine Abbey of Melk. Melk is best known for its staggeringly massive monas-tery, which was founded in 1089 in a medieval for-tress. After 1,000 years it’s still functioning as an abbey and school. In the 15th century the abbey’s monks played a leading part in central European monastic reform and it took its present magnifi-cent Baroque form after a devastating fire in the early 18th century. The abbey church with its enor-mous dome and ornate golden-hued bell towers now stands proud on a rocky bluff high over the Danube River. Melk boasts the largest ecclesiasti-cal library in the world, with over 80,000 priceless volumes and a wonderfully frescoed ceiling, while the new museum has many jeweled reliquaries and manuscripts on show. Napoleon used Melk Abbey as his headquarters when campaigning in Austria. Today it is surrounded by landscaped gardens with spectacular views over the Wachau Valley and the Danube. Later enjoy an afternoon visit to Dürnstein also in the Wachau Valley. A charming medieval village surrounded by some of the finest winemakers in Europe. (B,L,D)

DAY 9 A Day in Bratislava Let the day unfold slowly as you indulge in a wonderful breakfast and watch the world pass by as we cruise to Bratislava. After lunch, our resident guide will take you inside contemporary Slovakia and Bratislava for a look at politics, the economy, religion, the social order, preservation, the emergence of arts, and much more prior to a walking tour of this cobblestone, vehicle-free city.
