Baroque palaces, Gothic cathedrals, old-world villages, and imperial cities have endowed the banks of the Danube River with unparalleled cultural richness in a fairytale setting. In the beautiful Hungarian capital of Budapest, explore how the diverse cultural elements and long history of the region have shaped a rapidly transforming landscape. Then, embark on the elegant River Cloud, widely considered the finest river ship in Europe, to cruise the fabled Danube River through Austria and southern Germany. Disembark in historic Regensburg and travel overland to the cultural crossroads of Prague. From the imperial palaces of Vienna to the tranquil beauty of the Bavarian countryside, this program offers an insightful look at life -past and present- in the heart of Europe through a series of expert-led excursions and special cultural programs.
