River Danube
Sail the majestic Danube
Spectacular skylines and jaw-dropping natural sights carve the Danube out from the crowd. A fusion of east meets west, you’ll sail through cities whose streets are alive with music and history into UNESCO treasures like the Wachau Valley where steeply terraced vineyards frame a breath-taking route. You can’t talk about a journey along the Danube without talking about its past. From the gloriously grandiose imperial capitals of Vienna and
Budapest to the darker moments of WWII and the Iron Curtain which shaped the stories of many of the places you’ll visit, this remarkable waterway is both a scenic and an historic heavyweight. Got a little longer to play with? Take it all the way to the Danube Delta. One of the last true paradises in Europe, expect abundant wildlife teeming in island-spotted channels perfectly explored on a boat safari. The Danube is one big bucket list moment in itself.
