Sample Itinerary
Day 1 - Embarkation of this cruise is in Passau. Dinner included onboard before setting sail towards Melk.
Day 2 - Melk lies in the beautiful Wachau Valley. This small historic town centre made up of mainly 16th and 17th century buildings is not arduous. The Benedictine Abbey located on top of a bluff, forms a northern Baroque backdrop for the older town centre and is accessed on its eastern side. This is one of the most famous monastic houses in Austria which has been occupied by monks for over 900 years. (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner included)
Day 3 - Vienna - Enjoy a full day experiencing the delights of this city.

The Schönbrunn Palace takes you on a journey through time as you explore some of the 1441 rooms. (Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner included)
Day 4 - Budapest, known as the Pearl of the Danube, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Here you can explore both sides of Hungary’s capital – traditional ‘Buda’ and the more cosmopolitan ‘Pest’.
