Vineyards & Palaces along the Danube
Itinerary
Transfer from Vienna International Airport to your ship. If you have arranged a Uniworld arrival transfer, you will be greeted by a Uniworld representative and transferred to the ship.
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. In the evening, a special Captain's Welcome Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you. (B/L/FD)

After exploring the charming town of Spitz today, you'll want to find a comfortable seat in the lounge or on the Sun Deck while 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 riverine scenery so beautiful, UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Landscape.

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.
Featured Excursions: Choice of Regensburg Walk with Thurn & Taxis Castle Visit OR The Giant Sphere of Bavaria OR “From Hops Field to Beer Stein” Farm Visit
The archetypal medieval German city, Nuremberg was once the unofficial capital of the Holy Roman Empire, housing many German kings in the Kaiserburg castle complex. Later, this city became the epicenter of the Nazi party. When the end of WWII left Nuremberg almost completely leveled, it was chosen to be the site of the war crimes tribunal—the Nuremberg Trials. Now, most of the city has been restored, including the old castle. In the evening, a special Captain's Farewell Reception and Dinner will be prepared for you.
Featured Excursions: Choice of Nuremberg City Walk & Art Bunker Visit OR Nuremberg City Tour with WWII Rally Grounds and Documentation Center Visits
