This
14-night voyage travels from Amsterdam to Budapest, exploring
the Rhine and Main Rivers and along the Danube as it winds
its way through Germany, Austria and Slovakia to Hungary.
You cruise from Holland’s windmill-studded fields
past Germany’s fairy-tale castles and through the
engineering marvel of the Main-Danube Canal. You then cruise
among the vineyards of Austria’s Wachau Valley to
Vienna, “City of Waltzes.” Continue along the
blue Danube to experience the magic of Slovakia’s
capital, Bratislava, and finally, view the imperial beauty
of Budapest. Along the way, you’ll discover the legend
of Lorelei, the ancient art of glassblowing, the music
of Mozart, and Hungary’s vibrant culture.
