Sail Along the Wachau Valley

As you sail along the Danube, admire the skyline of Vienna, the Kahlenberg mountain, and the Klosterneuburg monastery. You will also pass by the garden city of Tulln, where you can see the Egon Schiele Museum and the Roman Museum. Aboard the cruise, you'll also enjoy a lunchtime snack of veal goulash with pastries.

Explore the Charming Village of Dürnstein

After about 6 hours of cruising, you will arrive at Dürnstein, a picturesque village with a blue church tower and a historic castle. Here, with 2 hrs to explore this UNESCO World Heritage Site on your own, visit the ruins of Dürnstein Castle, where King Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned in 1192. You can also visit the gothic hall, the Danube terrace, and the baroque collegiate church at Dürnstein Abbey or take a stroll through the cobblestone streets, shop for local handicrafts, and taste some of the famous Wachau wines.

A Voyage Full of Culinary Surprises

Return to the vessel for a traditional apple and curd strudel treat before indulging in a 4-course dinner buffet, featuring a range of Austrian favorites, from chicken stroganoff to vegetarian lasagna, and desserts.
