Overview
Highlights of the Danube River Cruise
A composition of culture and relaxation, history and indulgence.
From Vienna to Esztergom, Budapest, Bratislava, Krems, Melk, Passau and Wachau to Vienna.
Vienna has produced some of the world’s most famous composers: Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven – all of them were either born in the Austrian capital or lived here. Were they inspired by the Danube? Possibly, seeing as the river brought so many different cultures and ethnicities to the cities located on its banks. Vienna’s imperial grandeur, Budapest’s breathtaking examples of Hungarian art nouveau and Bratislava’s almost anarchic stylistic mixture of socialism and Baroque. And music is constantly in the air – those with two left feet will be pleased to know that it’s not all Viennese waltzes.
Vienna : Once you've been in Vienna for a few hours, you won't want to leave again so soon. Instead, you want to visit the countless cafés where the traditional Viennese coffee house culture is still alive today. Also contributing to the fascination for this city is the great history surrounding the emperors, Sissi and the Habsburgs with their pompous lifestyle. Or you can listen to the sounds of Viennese classical music. In addition, the Austrian capital is also a culinary delight. It is not for nothing that the famous Wiener Schnitzel and Sachertorte can be found almost everywhere in the world now.
Budapest : On one bank of the Danube is hilly Buda with its Fisherman’s Bastion and Castle Hill; on the other, there’s flat Pest with its House of Parliament. These two beautiful districts couldn’t be more different. Perhaps that’s why it took until 1873 for the two cities on opposite sides of the river to merge and form Budapest.
Bratislava : Slovakia’s capital is situated exactly at the point where the country meets Austria and Hungary. This makes it the only capital city in the world that borders more than one neighbouring country. Due to its location, Bratislava has been an ethnic melting pot since ancient times. This influence can be seen in every corner of the city.
SPA-ROSA : It’s so easy to relax on our ships that it almost seems as though they were built for this purpose only. Sit back, allow yourself to unwind and enjoy the warm temperatures as the scenery drifts by. Our aim is to help you to achieve complete relaxation and replenish your energy so that you finish your cruise invigorated, inspired and ready to get back to everyday life. Enjoy massages with nourishing oils and essences, facials to help your skin feel fully replenished and beauty treatments that will leave you looking radiant.
