Overview

Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on Uniworld's 10 Day Mystery Revealed: Salzburg & the Danube. This trip first set sail as Uniworld's Fall 2022 Mystery Cruise, wowing passengers with an abundance of incredible local experiences. Now that the mystery has been revealed, you can enjoy the same itinerary on a river cruise where the included onboard and onshore excursions go the extra mile. The result: a spectacular European vacation you won’t find anywhere else.

Start your trip with a relaxing stay at a spa hotel reserved entirely for our guests, perched in the foothills of the alps...read more above Salzburg. From there, you’ll move on to the regal S.S. Maria Theresa to begin a river cruise fit for royalty. Enjoy private access to rare experiences, such as a reception with an Austrian Count in his ancestral castle, the best seats in the house at a horse show from Vienna’s famous Spanish Riding School and an after-hours viewing of Klimt masterpieces at the Belvedere.

Itinerary

Arrive at Munich Airport. If your cruise package includes a group arrival transfer or if you have purchased a private arrival transfer, you will be greeted by a Uniworld representative and transferred to your hotel.

Find yourself immersed in the best of Salzburg today, on a tour complete with a focus on the city's musical history and a delicious lunch of a regional specialty: schnitzel. Then for dinner, join us for a unique and utterly Alpine experience: a meal at a cozy hut tucked into the mountains near your hotel.

Featured Excursion: Salzburg Day with Schnitzel Lunch

Our transfer to the ship today isn't scheduled until the afternoon, so take your time to sleep in, relax and enjoy the facilities at your gorgeous hotel. You can even get out and explore one of its hiking trails, which wind through picturesque alpine scenery. This afternoon, settle into your home for the rest of your trip, the S.S. Maria Theresa. In the evening, we're bringing Passau onboard with a Bavarian Night full of local cuisine and live music.

Start your day with a serene morning sailing as we make our way back into Austria. You'll arrive in Linz, a city known for its beauty. Admire it on foot with a scenic hike, or partake in a more musical introduction to Linz on a visit to the St. Florian Monastery. Either way, you'll end your experience here with a sampling of a beloved regional drink and witness a traditional Schuhplattler folk dance.

Featured Excursions: Choice of “Let's Go” Hike with Most Tasting OR St. Florian Organ Concert with Most Tasting

Rolling green hills and a charming little city full of historic buildings characterize the stretch of the Danube that houses Grein. Get to know the area today with a tour that includes a visit to the oldest theater in Austria. Then in the evening, we'll depart to the nearby Castle Clam for a private reception, hosted by the Count of Clam himself.

Featured Excursions: Choice of Grein walking tour with oldest Austrian theater OR Nights Out: Castle Clam Reception

Dürnstein is one of our favorite towns along the Danube, a lovely place to wander cobblestone lanes and browse quaint shops. Inhabited by only 900 people, Dürnstein is known for its excellent vineyards and apricot orchards.

Featured Excursion: Walking Tour with Marillen Tasting

Note: In the evening, don your grooviest attire for a 70s Party onboard!

Vienna is a cultural treasure trove revered for its art and music, with a refined flair due to its historic position at the center of the Habsburg Empire. Live the Viennese high life today with privileged access to two spectacular local experiences: a show at the Spanish Riding School and an after-hours visit to the Belvedere.

Featured Excursions: Choice of The Spanish Riding School OR Nights Out: After-Hours at the Belvedere

Once hidden from the world behind the “Iron Curtain,” Slovakia retains an air of mystery and intrigue, and its small capital city has an unexpectedly colorful history. You'll learn more about Bratislava's past from a local expert, stopping to sample Slovakian treats along the way. Then enjoy some free time in town before returning to the ship for the evening's festivities—a White Party in the lounge!

Featured Excursion: Communist Bratislava

Budapest is an enchanting city that presents a vibrant mix of modern delights and historic grandeur. While we're docked here today, get your fill of spectacular architecture, bohemian culture and excellent cuisine. (FD)

Featured Excursions: Choice of Exploring Etyek OR Budapest Walk

Note: Tonight is the captain's Farewell Dinner, after which we invite you to take in the best sight in town: an unimpeded view of the gorgeous Hungarian Parliament Building, lit up for the evening and reflecting across the river as we set out for a scenic sailing.

Disembark the ship and begin your journey home. If your cruise package includes a group purchase or transfer, you will be transferred to Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport for your flight home.
