Exclusively inclusive river cruising
When your road is the Danube, it's enchanting... Hungary, Austria, Slovakia, and Germany are linked by peaceful river landscapes dotted with storybook castles and romantic villages surrounded by stone terraced vineyards, where making world-class wines – and tasting them! – is an art.
A wonderfully preserved medieval castle and town in the Czech Carpathian mountains are as awe-inspiring as the palaces and museums of Imperial Vienna. As you cruise from port to port, explore the cobblestone streets and market squares in the Old Towns of Budapest, Bratislava, Cesky Krumlov, Grein, and Passau, each offering unexpected cultural treasures and culinary pleasures around every bend. And the pièce de résistance – a Tauck Exclusive gala evening with music and dancing at a private palace conjures up elegant Old World Europe just for Tauck guests!
Take a look at Tauck River Cruising along the Danube, the "River of Kings"
A step back in time... cesky krumlov, explore medieval cesky krumlov.
Cesky Krumlov grew up around 13th-century Krumlov Castle, one of the largest castle complexes in the Czech Republic. In addition to the castle's storied mix of architectural styles, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque among them, the Winter Riding School, lavishly built in Viennese Rococo style, is one of the highlights of any visit...
Tauck Exclusive – Imperial Evening at Palais Pallavicini
Our exclusive gala imperial evening at the private palais pallavicini in vienna.
Built in 1784, the sumptuous Palais Pallavicini is a grand private palace in the heart of Vienna whose magnificent Baroque touches transport you to another time. On many of our Danube river cruises, join us at the Palais for a gala evening featuring a reception, dinner and classical performances sure to sweep you off your feet... and let you experience firsthand how Europe's cultured classes lived and were entertained centuries ago. And film fans will note that the Palais and its elegant facade served as rogue Harry Lime's postwar Vienna apartment in the Cold War classic "The Third Man."
Off-boat excursions were led by Tauck directors and local guides with excellent bilingual skills who provided outstanding insights.

Travel Documents
If you are a U.S. citizen traveling internationally , you will need a passport valid for six months beyond the completion of your Tauck journey for entry into Germany, Slovakia, Hungary, Czech Republic, and Austria. You are not required to obtain a visa for the short duration of this tour.
If you are a citizen of another country traveling internationally , you should contact an embassy or consulate of Germany, Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia to determine what travel documentation is required.

Cruise Regulations – International maritime security guidelines require that your passport information be provided to us prior to your embarkation.

Travel Requirements For This Tour
Air Information and Luggage Restrictions
AIRFARE: Airfare to and from this destination is not included in the journey cost. If purchasing your air elsewhere, it is very important to provide us with your confirmed arriving and departing flight information no later than 3 weeks before your arrival date. Flight information can be submitted to Tauck (or verified, if you've already provided it) in the My Account section of Tauck.com.
TAUCK AIRPORT TRANSFERS are included at the start and end of the journey between the airport and the Tauck hotel. Airport transfers are available for any pre tour or post tour hotel stays immediately consecutive to the tour, providing flight information is received in the Tauck office no later than three weeks in advance. Details on locating your transfer upon arrival to the tour start city will be included in your final documents.
AIRLINES and CHECKED LUGGAGE: Due to space limitations during your Tauck journey, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one average-size suitcase per person. Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much more strict in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and are free to revise luggage policies without notice. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies. PLEASE NOTE that if you are booked on a tour that includes on-tour flights, the checked luggage weight restrictions for these flights may be lower than the weight restrictions for your international flights.
Checked Luggage ― General
Due to space restrictions, we ask that you please limit your checked luggage to one suitcase per person weighing no more than 50 pounds (23 kg) and with overall dimensions (length + width + height) not exceeding 62 inches (158 cm).
Besides complying with the Tauck restriction noted above, you should also be sure to research and comply with all airline baggage restrictions relating to your flights to and from your Tauck journey. Airlines have become much stricter in enforcing size and weight limits in recent years, and luggage exceeding airline standards for size or weight may result in expensive overage fees or other consequences.
Airlines are free to revise luggage policies without notice, and certain airlines have different baggage allowances for different classes of service. Researching and complying with airline luggage restrictions is the responsibility of the guest, and Tauck cannot be held responsible for any costs or disruptions to travel caused by the failure to research and comply with airline policies.
Tauck luggage tags will be provided by your Tauck Director on Day 1 of your itinerary. Please do not attach a Tauck luggage tag to any carry-on items, as the Tauck tags designate luggage that is to be handled and transferred by ground operators and hotel staff during your journey.
Carry-on Luggage ― General
Although oversize bags and wheeled, carry-on luggage are popular for airline travel, they are often not convenient or appropriate for motor coach travel. Most modern sightseeing motor coaches offer limited space for numerous or large items. Space under seats or in the overhead rack is typically small and is designed to accommodate items like coats, hats, purses, and small camera bags, etc.
For your day-to-day travel while on tour, we recommend that you limit your hand luggage to a small, soft-sided carry-on piece and to carry only those items you need handy during the day such as purses, make-up, medications, cameras, film, etc. Items too large to fit under the motor coach seat or in the overhead rack must be stored in the luggage bays beneath the motor coach, and may not allow for access during daytime travel.
Health, Safety and Mobility
HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS
Our riverboat is registered in Basel, Switzerland. Please check with your health insurance provider to determine whether you are covered while traveling. If you will not be covered under your current policy, we strongly suggest that you arrange for adequate coverage while on tour.
If you have a medical condition that might limit your participation in activities, please consult your physician for pre-departure health advice and inform us at time of booking.
VACCINATIONS
If you are a resident of the U.S. , no vaccinations are currently required for travel to the Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, Hungary or Austria. For complete vaccination and inoculation information, contact your physician, the public health service in your area, or the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Info Center at 800-232-4636/800-CDC-INFO (toll-free in the U.S.). You may also log on to the CDC Internet website by clicking here .
If you are a resident of another country , please contact an embassy or consulate of the Czech Republic, Germany, Slovakia, Hungary and Austria to determine what vaccination(s) may be required for your travel.
While a cruise on the Danube is very relaxing and the pace leisurely, to enjoy all the tour has to offer, you should be in good health and able to walk reasonable distances, as some of the most memorable sightseeing can only be accomplished on foot. There is a moderate to significant amount of walking during our excursions, often along cobblestone streets, and at many sites there are multiple stairs or steps. For the most part, however, the amount of walking you do is at your discretion.
Your riverboat has four decks: Diamond, Ruby, Emerald, and Sun.An elevator runs between the Diamond Deck and Emerald Deck; there is no elevator access to the Sun Deck. There is no chair lift between any of the decks.
Because you will be cruising on a river and not on the open sea, you are never far from land and, therefore, there is no doctor on board. In case of emergency we can easily dock the boat and call for an ambulance or medical assistance.
PLEASE NOTE: We regret that this Tauck itinerary cannot accommodate wheelchairs or motorized scooters. Likewise, we regret that we're unable to provide individual assistance to guests with walking difficulties or other personal needs. The responsibility of the Tauck Director who accompanies your trip is to ensure that the larger group enjoys a relaxing and informative journey, and he or she cannot be relied upon to provide ongoing individual assistance to any one guest. Guests requiring such individualized assistance must be accompanied by an able-bodied companion who can provide it.
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate service animals on any river cruise for medical and legal reasons.
SPECIAL DIETARY REQUESTS
The restaurants, hotels, caterers and numerous other partners we work with all do their best to accommodate special dietary requests from Tauck guests. However, given the diverse nature of those food providers (from small wineries to grand hotels to world-famous restaurants in more than 70 countries worldwide), some of our partners are better able than others to accommodate such requests. We therefore cannot guarantee that all dietary requests can be accommodated at every meal. Also, please note that where dietary requests can be accommodated, choices will frequently be limited.
On board the riverboat, smoking is permitted in a limited area of the Sun deck. Smoking (including e-Cigarettes) is not permitted in any cabin, the restaurant, the lounge or any other interior space.
Reading List
We have compiled a reading list of recommended books to give you more information about the destinations you will be traveling to on your upcoming journey!
You can view the reading list here.
The climate along the Danube River is temperate and unpredictable. From June through August, the average high temperatures decrease as you travel west along the river and range from 69 to 79°F (21 to 26°C) and the average low temperatures range from 51 to 59°F (11 to 15°C). Rainfall amounts in this region remain fairly constant throughout the year, although late spring and early summer are generally the wettest seasons of the year. Opposite of temperature, rainfall increases as you travel west.
To read about current weather conditions, we suggest you log on to the Internet website, noaa.gov , by clicking here.
What To Pack
Bringing the right clothing for your trip is important – we've partnered with New Headings who provide an "easy-to-use, one-stop shop" for your Tauck travel needs, specifically selected for this trip. Click here to visit their site .
Your journey is designed with leisure in mind. Dress for comfort and convenience with a wardrobe that is flexible and allows for layering. Casual, cotton clothing is recommended. A light jacket or sweater for the sun deck is also recommended. Pack comfortable yet sturdy walking shoes that have already been broken-in, as many of the sites visited were built centuries ago and have uneven surfaces, some steep inclines and many steps.
During evenings aboard the riverboat, dress is resort casual. Items such as slacks and collared shirts are appropriate for men. For women, slacks, a dress or a skirt and blouse are suitable. For dinner and throughout the evening, guests should refrain from wearing shorts, t-shirts, flip-flops or sneakers. Your journey also includes one or two special occasion dinners, where a sport coat and tie for gentlemen and a dress/pantsuit for ladies are suggested. (Your Tauck Director will advise you prior to those evenings.)
Bathrobes, slippers and hairdryers are provided in each guest room at the hotels and in each cabin on board the riverboat.
Valet laundry service is available at the hotels and on the riverboat for a fee. There is no valet dry cleaning available on the riverboat. Ironing facilities on the riverboat are available by request to the front desk. Category 7 suites feature their own irons and ironing boards.
We recommend that you pack an adequate supply of your prescription medication in its original container to last through your entire journey, together with a copy of your doctor's prescription, or a letter from your health-care provider on office stationery explaining that the medication has been prescribed for you, your travel documents and a change of clothing in your carry-on bag to avoid any inconvenience in the event that your flight or luggage is delayed.
We recommend you pack the following items for your tour:
- Flat, rubber-soled walking shoes for onboard
- Sturdy but comfortable walking shoes that have already been broken-in for onshore
- Casual daytime wear – shorts, slacks, long and short-sleeved shirts
- Sport jacket (optional tie) for men
- Casually elegant evening wear for ladies
- Sunglasses, hat
- A light sweater or jacket for higher elevations or a breezy night
- Sun protection
- Camera, lenses, batteries,memory cards and chargers
- Travel alarm clock/cell phone with alarm function (many hotels do not have clocks in the rooms)
- Rain poncho and collapsible umbrella
- Reusable zipper-lock bags or other waterproof bags
- Daypack for camera equipment
- Sundries and toiletries that may be difficult to find en route
- Copies of your travel documents that should be secured in the safe in your cabin while traveling

Vienna river cruises, about vienna.
Austria’s historic and beautiful capital is a mainstay destination on the many cruises which explore the Danube River and is one of Europe’s most celebrated capital cities. To embark on a Vienna river cruise is to experience the beauty and elegance of Austria's capital city; to learn of it's rich culture and history; and to sail alongside stunning architecture. These things are what truly puts Vienna on the map.
Exploring Vienna
Vienna’s State Opera House is also one of the world’s most prestigious musical venues and the first building to be reconstructed from the city’s expansion fund. It’s a Neo-Renaissance wonder and features a beautiful interior, with its stunning marble staircases being a particular high point. The Austrian Parliament Building is another key structure and the place where the country’s parliament still sits today. One of the largest and most distinctive structures on the Ringstrasse, it’s built in the Greek Revival style and has over 100 rooms including the celebrated Hall of Pillars. The Rathaus or Town Hall is an imposing Gothic structure which is home to the city council but also open to visitors, offering them a fascinating look at its history. The Art History Museum and the Natural History Museum are also notable attractions, though identical in structure and design, their contents are very different. Whichever you choose to explore depends on your interests but either way, you’re in for an architectural treat.
Vienna Tips
A trip to one of Vienna’s famous coffee houses is a must if you’re a fan of the drink and indeed, there are dozens of different blends to choose from. Melange is a popular local brew and similar to a cappuccino. As far as an accompanying snack goes, a slice of Sachertorte is a must.

Navigating through Lower Austria we then reach the romantic town of Dürnstein. After, we visit the remarkable monastery in Melk.
Soon we arrive in Linz for a guided tour. Alternatively, take the short drive to Salzburg and enjoy a guided tour of the old town. On our way back eastwards, we will reach classical Vienna. Finally, cruising into Hungary, we arrive back in imperial Budapest, straddling the picturesque Danube. After a guided tour of this palatial city, we spend the evening on board, where, following our final dinner, we enjoy a Hungarian folklore show - an excellent finale to this most exceptional and relaxing cruise.

Embark in Budapest
On arrival, a coach will take you to your cruise ship. The dedicated crew are there to welcome you on board, ensuring you settle in and familiarise yourself with this first-class floating hotel.
There’s always a sense of expectancy and excitement on the eve of a cruise and, after an excellent dinner in the stylish restaurant, conversation is sure to revolve around the delights ahead.
![river cruises vienna Route Map](https://assets-v8.rivieratravel.co.uk/content/RivieraUSA/itineraryimages/RCD/RCD_New_Style_Map_No_Fly_V8.jpg)
Overnight we have cruised upstream to Esztergom, one of Hungary’s oldest towns, a royal capital during medieval times and today the seat of the country’s archbishop. We have a guided tour of the famous neoclassical basilica, standing sentinel over the Danube on the border with Slovakia, and boasting one of the world’s largest altarpieces and a wealth of priceless religious artefacts.
The castle is also worth exploring; it was the seat of government until the Ottomans invaded in the 16th century. Nestling below are myriad atmospheric churches resonating with the enchanting sounds of choir; this is the best of provincial Hungary and is little changed since Habsburg times.
Cruise towards Bratislava
As you enjoy your first lunch on board we gently leave Esztergom in our wake, affording a fascinating opportunity to compare the different landscapes, towns and villages of Hungary on one riverbank and of Slovakia on the other.
Included experience:
Visit to Esztergom basilica.
![river cruises vienna Esztergom Basilica - Esztergom, Hungary](https://assets-v8.rivieratravel.co.uk/content/RivieraUSA/itineraryimages/RCD/1RCD_Day_2_V8N.jpg)
This morning we explore Slovakia’s fast-emerging capital city, Bratislava, on a guided tour. Until recently swathed in the drab uniformity of Communism, the city has rekindled the splendour of its imperial past in its beautifully restored Old Town. Equally impressive is the imposing 17th-century castle commanding expansive views across the Danube.
Cruise towards Dürnstein
This afternoon we cruise into Lower Austria, a peaceful, bucolic region and home to some of the country’s best wines. By now the stresses of everyday life seem distant as you absorb the ever-changing scenes, we pass children playing on the riverbanks, young couples strolling arm in arm like generations before them, vignerons carefully pruning their vines, and cobbled quaysides lined by half-timbered buildings.
You’ll marvel as the Captain skilfully navigates the ship along the serene river and through locks whose mechanisms never cease to fascinate, as we cruise towards Dürnstein.
Guided tour of Bratislava.
![river cruises vienna Bratislava, Slovakia](https://assets-v8.rivieratravel.co.uk/content/RivieraUSA/itineraryimages/RCD/1RCD_Day_3_V8N.jpg)
Dürnstein & Melk
Dürnstein is known principally for the ice-blue tower of its abbey, which dominates the view, and the castle where Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned in 1192 after being shipwrecked on his return from the crusades.
This morning we take a guided walking tour to explore this memorable city further. Set on a rocky outcrop high above the river, the castle is now ruined, but it’s easy to imagine England’s legendary monarch seething with frustration far from home, while waiting for his family to raise funds to pay his ransom.
After lunch you visit the remarkable Melk Abbey. Nothing quite prepares you for your first sight of this enormous honey-coloured building, standing resplendent above the surrounding countryside. Originally a castle, it was gifted to the Benedictine Order in the 11th-century and, although reconstructed in Baroque style during the 18th century, it has remained a monastic school and monastery ever since.
The Abbey is renowned for its 214-yard-long Emperor’s Gallery lined with portraits, many fine rooms and an ornate library. After we re-join the ship, dinner is served during the final part of our cruise upstream through the pretty Nibelungengau, immortalised in the music of Wagner.
Included experiences:
Guided tours of Dürnstein & Melk Abbey.
![river cruises vienna Melk Abbey - Melk, Austria](https://assets-v8.rivieratravel.co.uk/content/RivieraUSA/itineraryimages/RCD/1RCD_Day_4_V8N.jpg)
Salzburg or Linz
Reaching Linz, you will have the choice to stay in the city and take a guided walking tour, exploring its charming baroque old town. At its heart you’ll see one of the finest squares in Austria, lined by grand pastel-coloured facades with an impressive central Trinity Column of white marble, crowned by a gilded sunburst. There’s also the fortress-like castle, built high above the city by Emperor Friedrich III, now a museum housing a fine collection of nineteenth and twentieth-century artworks.
Alternatively, we drive to Salzburg, once an independent state whose archbishops turned it into one of the most sophisticated cities north of the Alps. Dominating the skyline is one of Europe’s largest stone fortresses, the Hohensalzburg, while beneath its walls church domes and spires rise from the delightful Altstadt, or Old Town. Then there’s the wonderful Hellbrunn Palace and the splendid formal gardens of the Mirabell Palace – a must for horticulture fans.
This morning, discover some of the city’s main sights in the company of an expert local guide, then you’re free to explore as you wish. Everywhere there are sights associated with the city’s most famous resident, Mozart, who played the harpsichord aged three, composed rudimentary music at five and wrote his first opera when he was 11!
We return to the ship for another splendid dinner.
Guided tour of Linz or Salzburg.
![river cruises vienna Salzburg, Austria](https://assets-v8.rivieratravel.co.uk/content/RivieraUSA/itineraryimages/RCD/1RCD_Day_5_V8N.jpg)
For many, today’s visit to Vienna will be one of the highlights of the cruise. The city’s very name provokes images of elegance, fine music, wide boulevards, Baroque architecture and a rich tapestry of peoples who were drawn here from all corners of Europe.
For 200 years until the First World War, Vienna was the cultural centre of Europe and many of the showpiece buildings, galleries, aristocratic palaces and magnificent churches you see today were built to reflect its imperial status. The city’s most iconic monument is the breathtaking Saint Stephen’s Cathedral, whose striking multi-coloured roof and huge Gothic South Tower dominate the skyline.
There’s also the colossal Hofburg, the former royal court that is now home to a collection of museums, the Crown Jewels and the Spanish Riding School, and where the Vienna Boys’ Choir performs. Then there are the lavish Imperial Apartments and an outstanding collection of relics of the Holy Roman Empire, including, allegedly, the sabre of Charlemagne himself. The Kunsthistorisches Museum, which contains the world’s fourth largest collection of paintings, is just across the road.
This morning we have a tour with a local guide offering insights into why Vienna is one of Europe’s great capitals – the seat of the Habsburg emperors and home to some of the world’s finest classical composers, including Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart and, of course, a whole family of Strausses.
During the afternoon you’re free to explore as you wish. Take a stroll in the Prater, notable for the huge Ferris wheel that features in several Cold War spy thrillers. Or, for something quite different, visit the Schönbrunn Palace, a former royal residence now housing a range of world-class museums and galleries. Perhaps, though, just take a stroll through Vienna’s atmospheric side streets, or enjoy a coffee and a slice of delicious Sachertorte in one of the lovely coffee houses.
This evening we have something special in store. Not only do we have our indulgent Chef's Dinner, but we've also organised for a live musical experience on board. So after this special dinner, sit back and enjoy an intimate classical recital. To hear this exquisite music in Vienna - where it was created - is truly the icing on the cake.
Guided tour of Vienna & live classical recital.
![river cruises vienna Wiener Ringstrasse - Vienna, Austria](https://assets-v8.rivieratravel.co.uk/content/RivieraUSA/itineraryimages/RCD/1RCD_Day_6_V8N.jpg)
Cruise towards Budapest
Enjoy a leisurely morning as we cruise majestically through Hungary’s peaceful pastoral landscape towards Budapest. After breakfast head up onto the magnificent sun deck to enjoy some fabulous river views as we cruise along the 'Daunbe Bend', surrounded by historic and picturesque cities like Visegrad and Szentendre. Castle ruins, churches, pretty houses perching on the hills, and thick forests are reflected in the waters of the river. Squeeze in a spot of reading on the sun deck or simply recline, letting the gentle breezes lull you into a relaxing doze.
After lunch we enjoy a sightseeing tour of this captivating city, which truly lives up to its reputation as the ‘Pearl of the Danube’.
The twin cities of Buda, built around the hilltop fortress, and Pest, with its wide boulevards, were fought over through the centuries. The Ottomans ruled here for 150 years before being ousted in the late 17th century, but their legacy lives on in the many thermal baths fed by hot springs, giving rise to Budapest’s other sobriquet – the ‘City of Spas’.
After the end of Ottoman rule, Budapest became an imperial city of the Habsburg Empire, attracting great cultural and commercial wealth. Castle Hill is Budapest in microcosm: two churches, seven museums and a theatre among streets and squares with their own special atmosphere and a dramatic view across the river to the awe-inspiring neo-Gothic Parliament Building. Budapest’s endless galleries, museums, outstanding Art Nouveau architecture and excellent shopping offer a fittingly elegant end to your Danube cruise.
This evening’s dinner closes with a Hungarian folklore show, giving you time to bid farewell to your travelling companions and reflect on all the inspirational places, sights and sounds you have experienced on a truly ‘imperial’ cruise.
Guided tour of Budapest & Hungarian folklore show.

Every once in a while, you stumble upon an adventure that lingers in your memory long after it’s over. That adventure was my second Viking River Cruise, this time exploring and discovering more of Europe on a Danube River cruise.
It confirmed my love for Viking cruises and solidified my belief that they are the best way to see Europe. Join me as I reminisce about this incredible trip, highlight the top things to see and do at each port, and show why a Danube River Cruise should be on your travel bucket list.

Setting Sail from Passau, Germany
Our adventure began in the charming city of Passau, Germany . Known as the “City of Three Rivers,” Passau is where the Danube, Ilz, and Inn rivers converge. This picturesque Bavarian city is a photographer’s dream, easily reached by taxi, especially from the vantage points on the hillside.
![river cruises vienna cruising-to-passau-germany](https://www.whereverimayroamblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/cruise-ship-in-passau-germany-.jpg)

Discovering Linz, Austria and Cesky Krumlov
While Linz boasts numerous museums and is a UNESCO City of Media Arts, we opted for a day trip to Cesky Krumlov , one of Europe’s most enchanting medieval towns.
![river cruises vienna cesky-krumlov-river-crossing](https://www.whereverimayroamblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/cesky-krumlov-river-crossing-.jpg)
Highlights of Cesky Krumlov

- Czech Cuisine: Enjoy a fantastic meal at Hotel Zlatý Anděl before exploring more of this UNESCO World Heritage site.
![river cruises vienna bohemian-lunch-bread-and-meat](https://www.whereverimayroamblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/bohemian-lunch-bread-and-meat-.jpg)
Cesky Krumlov’s lively street performers (the clarinets were my fave!) and photo-worthy spots made it an unforgettable day — how cool it was to hear my favorite KISS song played over lunch.
Do you need another Viking River Cruise idea? My first, and I think most people chose it, was the romantic Rhine River cruise .

Marveling at Melk Abbey in Austria
Our next stop was the 900-year-old Melk Abbey , perched on stunning cliffs in the Wachau Valley. This Benedictine monastery is a treasure trove of history and beauty.
Exploring Melk Abbey
- Library and Ceiling Frescoes: The library feels like something out of Beauty and the Beast, and the hand-painted ceiling frescoes are spectacular.
- Guided Tour: Learn about the abbey’s history and significance.
- Scenic Cruising: After our visit, we enjoyed a leisurely afternoon of scenic cruising during lunch.
Despite the rain, Melk Abbey left a lasting impression with its rich history and stunning views. However, photography is not allowed inside.
![river cruises vienna melk-abbey-architecture](https://www.whereverimayroamblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/melk-abbey-architecture-.jpg)
Overnight Stop in Durnstein
That night, we stayed overnight in Durnstein, a noteworthy wine-producing region in Central Europe. This charming town is a UNESCO World Heritage site and offers a safe and easy walk into town.
Wine and History in Durnstein
- Wine Tasting: Sample some of the best wines in the region.
- Exploring the Town: Wander through the historic streets (yes, it’s safe) and enjoy the local charm.
Durnstein’s rich history and excellent wines made it a memorable stop on our cruise.

Vienna, Austria – The City of Waltzes
Vienna, known as the City of Waltzes, is one of Europe’s most elegant capitals. Our bus tour took us along the Ringstrasse, where we saw some of the city’s most iconic landmarks.

- Vienna State Opera House : Marvel at the magnificent frescoes depicting Mozart’s Magic Flute .
My friends and I also took an optional tour of Schönbrunn Palace , known as the “Versailles of Vienna.” This opulent palace was home to Marie Antoinette and the Habsburg family, who reigned for six centuries.

A Unique Lunch Experience
Rather than returning to the ship for lunch, we hailed a taxi and went for classic fondue at Restaurant Chamäleon . Despite the initial uncertainty of our cab driver’s directions, we had a delicious meal of authentic cheese fondue with plenty (what seemed like 10 pounds) of bread.
Bratislava, Slovakia – A Hidden Gem
Slovakia’s capital city, Bratislava , is a delight to explore. Our starting points were the Medieval Town Hall and fortifications at Michael’s Tower.
Must-See Sights in Bratislava
- St. Martin’s Cathedral: A charming Gothic cathedral with a rich history.
- Medieval Town Hall: Explore the heart of Bratislava’s historic center.
- Photographic Opportunities: Capture the beauty of this lesser-known European capital.
Bratislava’s blend of history and charm makes it a hidden gem worth discovering.

Captivating Budapest, Hungary
Our Viking Danube Cruise concluded with an overnight stay in Budapest, a city that truly comes alive at night. The sight of lighted bridges and historic buildings along the riverbanks is nothing short of magical.

Budapest’s vibrant energy and historic beauty made it a fitting end to our unforgettable cruise. My favorite things about Budapest were the Szechenyi Baths (15 indoor and three outdoor pools, saunas, and a steam room—also one of the best in Europe) and the amazing, inexpensive food.
Pro Tip: Touring the Zwack Unicum Museum was interesting. The local drink was too strong for my taste, but I appreciated visiting to see how it is made, their great marketing campaigns, and their enormous liquor bottle collection.

Final Thoughts
Reflecting on my Danube River Cruise with Viking, I’m reminded of the incredible memories my friends and I made, the stunning places we visited, and the wonderful people we met along the way. This cruise showcased Europe’s beauty and history and reinforced my love for river cruising.

Vienne River Cruises
Situated between France’s Burgundy and Beaujolais regions, Vienne is the gateway to Lyon’s countryside. It is one of the oldest towns in France, with a history that can be traced through its architecture. Among its Roman remains and artifacts, the Roman Temple of Augustus & Livia dates back to the 1st century AD. Its Roman amphitheater, nestled in the hills of Mont Pipet, is one of the best preserved in the nation. Vienne also boasts remarkably preserved medieval buildings and market ruins. Other landmarks include the Abbey of Saint Pierre and the Church of Saint-André-le-Bas.
