Grand Danube Passage
Travel along the Danube on a nine-night journey through eight countries, paired with stays in Sofia and Prague before and after your cruise. This thoughtfully planned itinerary highlights historic cities, regional traditions, and everyday life along one of Europe’s great rivers. Visit Vienna, Bratislava, and Belgrade, and take in Budapest by night during an evening cruise. Along the way, explore medieval towns, see cathedrals, synagogues, mosques, and fortresses, and pass through landscapes ranging from the Wachau Valley and Melk Abbey to the Iron Gate Gorge and small riverside villages. Enjoy regional flavors in Croatia’s Slavonia region and experience local culture through a folk show and a traditional Viennese waltz performance. A range of included excursions offer meaningful ways to engage with each destination’s cuisine, architecture, and history. Comfortable accommodations aboard a first-class ship and in well-located hotels, along with included meals and wine and beer served at lunch and dinner, ensure an easy, well-supported journey. Solo travelers are especially welcome, with no single supplement!
