Day 2 - Saturday - May 4, 2024
Budapest, Hungary
Located on opposite sides of the Danube, Buda and Pest each has a distinctive character and allure all its own. Explore this dynamic and multi-faceted city with your choice of excursions-you can see it from a local's perspective on a walking tour, or cover more ground with a panoramic tour. Or, choose our Jewish Heritage excursion offering you a detailed introduction to Jewish Budapest.
Day 3 - Sunday - May 5, 2024
Vienna, Austria
The grand dame of the Danube, Vienna was the heart of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and remains, to this day, the political and cultural center of Austria. Klimt painted here; Beethoven and Mozart composed here; Freud developed his theories here. It's a treasure trove of splendid architecture, astonishing art collections, and inviting cafes-and today it is yours to explore. A city tour will show you the architectural highlights of the Austrian capital as well as the legendary Belvedere Palace. Or, indulge your passion for fine art and fine food with a fascinating and memorable panoramic tour. Or, explore Jewish Vienna via our Jewish Heritage excursion.
Day 4 - Monday - May 6, 2024
Krems, Austria
You'll want to find a comfortable seat in the lounge or on the Sun Deck this afternoon as your ship cruises through the Wachau Valley. Over the eons, the Danube cut a gorge through the foothills of the Bohemian mountains, resulting in a 19-mile (30-kilometer) stretch of beautiful riverine scenery. Castle ruins dominate hilltops; Baroque church towers appear on the riverbanks, marking historic villages and splendid abbeys; and apricot orchards and vineyards cling to the rocky slopes. Some of Austria's finest white wines are produced from grapes ripening on the dry-stone terraces above the river, where grapes have been grown for 2,000 years. Your ship will dock in Krems, midway through this glorious landscape.
Day 5 - Tuesday - May 7, 2024
Engelhartszell, Austria
Passau, Germany
Your ship cruises through a scenic highlight of the Danube early this morning, the Schlogener Schlinge-a hairpin loop in the Danube that was once very hazardous for ships and is now a lovely, serene stretch of water-and leaves Austria behind today. Your first German port of call is Passau, where three rivers meet-the Inn, the Ilz, and the Danube-and three nations almost meet: Austria, Germany, and the Czech Republic, making for a fascinating cultural mosaic. Get to know the town and its main claim to fame, Europe's largest pipe organ, or join an invigorating riverside bike ride.
Day 6 - Wednesday - May 8, 2024
Regensburg, Germany
Bavaria's first capital, Regensburg, owes its impressive historical lineage and rich architectural heritage to 600 years as a Free Imperial City, a fact recognized by UNESCO in 2006. Today, you'll discover how the beautifully preserved medieval city coexists with a vibrant modern urban center.
Day 7 - Thursday - May 9, 2024
Nuremberg, Germany
Nuremberg will forever be associated with the post-WWII Nuremberg trials, but the city's profound historical and cultural significance stretches back many centuries before that.
Day 8 - Friday - May 10, 2024
Nuremberg, Germany
Cruise Ends
Bus Travel
Prague, Czech Republic
Disembark the ship early and set your sights on the "city of a hundred spires" as you transfer to Prague via motorcoach.
Day 9 - Saturday - May 11, 2024
Prague, Czech Republic
A magnet for generations of artists, writers, scientists and composers, Prague is famous for its dynamic energy and elegant ambiance (and the beers here are pretty amazing too). A thousand years of architecture, from ornate Gothic to fanciful postmodern, has been beautifully preserved here.
Day 10 - Sunday - May 12, 2024
Prague, Czech Republic
You've experienced the best of the Danube River and Prague, sampling myriad culinary delights and exploring fascinating stops along the way. Now your journey comes to a close. If your cruise/tour includes a group departure transfer or if you have purchased a private departure transfer, you will be transferred to Prague Vaclav Havel Airport for your flight home. Your Uniworld adventure may be over, but we know you'll enjoy the memories you've made for years to come.
