|
Day 1
|
Embarkation
at the city of
Passau – where three
rivers meet – from which the vessel departs at 6.00 p.m. She then sails
through a scenically charming stretch of the Danube – the “Schlögener
Schlinge”. After these
initial scenic impressions our cruise managers invite you to take a
welcome cocktail before our welcome dinner. |
| Day 2 |
The
ship ties up in the port of Vienna
at about 1.00 p.m., leaving the whole of the rest of the day for you to
enjoy in this Danube metropolis. A city of music and joie de vivre, and one that is equally well known for its rich
chocolate cake and new wines as for St. Stephen’s cathedral and the
Hofburg palace.
Absorb all the important sights on our Vienna sightseeing
tour,
or explore this richly traditional city under your own steam. The ship
leaves the port of Vienna at 6.00 p.m., and heads for Budapest.
|
| Day 3 |
The
vessel reaches Hungary’s capital, Budapest, during the morning. Arriving there by this means gives
passengers a truly memorable view of the imposing buildings on the right
and left banks of the Danube.
In
the afternoon our Budapest
sightseeing
tour
offers you an opportunity to get to know all the sights of this city.
The highlight of this cruise is, of course, our New Year’s Eve party
aboard the ship. Enjoy an unforgettable "Illuminated
cruise through Budapest"
along the Danube aboard the ship, with fine views of the
brightly illuminated buildings on both sides of the river.
The
evening begins with a gala dinner in the restaurant, after which comes the
New Year’s Eve party in the Panorama bar.
See the New Year in a different setting and in an unusual way, and
dance with us into the New Year. |
| Day 4 |
This
morning features a substantial ‘anti-hangover’ breakfast so that
everyone is fortified after the rigours of a long New Year’s Eve!
The
ship casts off from Budapest at
about 1pm. Enjoy
the whole day aboard the ship as the wonderful winter
landscapes float past you.
|
| Day 5 |
Your
ship docks in the Slovakian capital of Bratislava
while you breakfast in the Panorama restaurant – and then the sightseeing
tour
begins right away,
giving you an opportunity to get to know this city better.
In
the afternoon you have a chance to explore it for yourself before the ship
casts off again, at 7.00 p.m., heading upstream to Austria. the captain
invites you to his captain gala dinner. The excellent orchestra,
which has entertained you in the bar throughout the whole Danube cruise,
will not fail to inspire most passengers to round off their cruise on the
dance floor
|
| Day 6 |
In
the morning the vessel passes by Dürnstein, the world famous little town
in the Wachau, and ties up in Melk/Emmersdorf
at about 12.00 a.m. From here you can join our optional excursion to the
imposing Benedictine
abbey of Melk – one of Europe’s largest monasteries.
At
about 5.30 p.m. the cruise continues through the picturesque regions of
the Nibelungen and Strudengau.
|
| Day 7 |
Arrival
in the three rivers city of Passau at about 9.30 a.m. Disembarkation by about 10.00 a.m.
