Overview

Brace yourself for an epic voyage through the heart of central Europe and into the Balkans along some of its most beautiful waterways - the Rhine, Main and Danube - on our longest ever river cruise.

Our 29-day odyssey through the heart of Europe and beyond is the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. We’ll cruise through seven fascinating countries - Germany, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria, stopping to see five of Europe’s most beautiful capital cities – Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, Belgrade and Bucharest - and many captivating riverside towns and villages along the way. Experience an enchanting mix of medieval towns and imperial cities, from the capital of classical music, Vienna, to the quintessentially German Bamberg and the quaint village of Arbanasi and everywhere in between.

From the luxurious comfort of our five-star ship, you can enjoy the sights along the riverbanks. The Rhine has enthralled writers, composers, artists and travelers for centuries, along its banks you’ll spot picturesque towns, castles and, as an extra treat, we’ll sail through the mighty Rhine Gorge. Joining the Main in Mainz, we’ll sail through the heart of quintessential medieval Germany before passing through the Main-Danube Canal. Finally, we cruise 1500 miles of the Danube’s 1770-mile length. Everyday you’ll wake up to new sights - lush vineyards, historic monasteries and elegant cities. We’ll also see the breathtaking views of the Iron Gates and Danube Delta – Europe's largest area of wetlands, the Belogradchik rock formations and the ancient Lepenski Vir archaeological site as we travel all the way to the Black Sea.

This epic adventure across the heart of Europe to the Black Sea is ideal for travelers wanting to see more of Europe than ever before.
