Unpack once aboard an exclusively chartered first-class river ship and settle in for a 14-night cruise, enjoying an intimate look at five countries: Hungary, Slovakia, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands.
Each day awards medieval villages and vibrant capitals, enchanting vistas and lauded UNESCO World Heritage sites. Centuries of heritage unfold in Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest, cities steeped in the legacies of great empires. Behold Amsterdam’s lovely canals, idyllic landscapes, fairy-tale villages and the beautiful Middle Rhine and Wachau valleys. Along the way, join local experts for enriching discussions and take part in immersive cultural experiences, including a traditional German Frühschoppen.
Plus, our thoughtfully planned shore excursions allow you to customize your journey, from walking tours to cycling adventures and wine tastings. This unforgettable cruise features all meals, including wine, beer and soft drinks with lunch and dinner. No single supplement for solo travelers.
