Overview

An extraordinary journey for aficionados of European history, music, and art. Experience dynamic Budapest and imperial Vienna. Marvel at ravishing scenery as your luxurious ship glides through the Wachau Valley, celebrated as one of the world’s most beautiful landscapes, into Germany and past charming Bavarian villages. Exclusive treasures are plentiful on this delightful journey.

This enchanting voyage provides a variety of ways to enjoy captivating destinations as well as plenty of time to relax onboard as you sail from Budapest to Regensburg.

Jewish Heritage Program (select sailings): read more Our Jewish Heritage Program is the only one of its kind on the rivers and allows you to dive into Central Europe's enduring Jewish legacy with visits to museums, memorials, synagogues and more. Due to capacity restrictions, we recommend Jewish Heritage excursions be reserved in advance. Please note: Tours that fall on Saturdays will not operate due to Shabbat, and some sites may be closed during other significant events, such as Passover.

Itinerary

Arrive at the airport. If your cruise/tour package includes a group arrival transfer or if you have purchased a private arrival transfer, you will be greeted by a Uniworld representative at the Munich airport and transferred to the ship. (D)

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. (B/L/FD)

Featured Excursions: Choice of Bavarian History & Beer OR Nights Out: Regensburg Cathedral Choir OR Regensburg Walking Tour OR “From Hops Field to Beer Stein” Farm Visit

Note: A special Captain's Welcome Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you this evening.

Passau is a crossroads in more ways than one—three rivers meet here and three nations nearly do, making for a fascinating cultural mosaic. (B/L/D)

Featured Excursions: Choice of Home Hosted Visit OR Fairytale Forest Adventure OR Meet the Locals OR Ilz River Hike

Linz may be best known for its famous Linzer torte, but it's also a hotbed for the arts. See the sights with a local expert and visit a family at their farm in the countryside. Austria's third-largest city, Linz boasts a long history of trading and textile manufacturing, but these days it is perhaps best known for its electronic arts and annual festival. (B/L/D)

Featured Excursions: Choice of Linz Town and Country: Linzertorte and Cider Farm Visit OR Mauthausen Concentration Camp OR The Taste of Salzburg

Dürnstein is one of our favorite towns along the Danube, a lovely place to wander cobblestone lanes and browse quaint shops. For your included tour today, opt for a tasting or learn all about the world's costliest spice from the Wachau Valley's only saffron grower. (B/L/D)

Featured Excursions: Choice of House of Strauss OR Dürnstein Village and Saffron Talk OR Picture-Perfect Dürnstein with Local Treats

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 cafés—and today it is yours to explore. (B/L/D)

Featured Excursions: Choice of Klimt at the Belvedere OR Schönbrunn Palace OR Vienna's Historic Trails and Local Treats

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. (B/L/WD)

Featured Excursions: Choice of Budapest Walk with Local Treats OR Budapest Panoramic Highlights with Castle Hill

Note: In the evening, a special Captain's Farewell Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you.

Disembark the ship. If your cruise package includes a group departure transfer or if you purchased a private departure transfer, you will be transferred to Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport for your flight. (B)
