Highlights

From Budapest to Amsterdam, experience the essence of Central European culture at various stops en route. Start by exploring three of Europe's bustling capitals - Budapest in Hungary, Bratislava in Slovakia, and Vienna in Austria. Accompanied by your local Local Guide, you'll witness the key attractions in each city and enjoy ample time to explore further on your own. Discover iconic landmarks like the majestic Heroes’ Square in Budapest, the charming Old Town of Bratislava with its intricate bronze sculptures and winding streets, and indulge in a lavish treat at a traditional Viennese café.


Navigate through the idyllic landscapes of the Wachau Valley and the dramatic Rhine Gorge. Pay a visit to the Benedictine Abbey in Melk and the baroque-styled Bishop’s Residenz in Würzburg. Experience a tasting session of the local Wachau wines. Unearth the charm of small towns like Dürnstein, notable for its blue and white baroque Stiftskirche; Passau, known for the grandeur of St. Stephen’s Cathedral and its narrow, cobbled streets; and Bamberg, with its unique town hall situated on the River Regnitz.


Wander the historical historical towns of Nuremberg, Volkach, Würzburg, and Regensburg—regarded as one of Germany's most well-preserved medieval cities. In the delightful town of Rüdesheim located in the Rhine Valley, take a walk along its renowned Drosselgasse, complete with cobblestone paths, a variety of shops, eateries, and vibrant taverns. Be captivated by Cologne, a 2,000-year-old city in Germany, renowned for its Gothic architecture and nestled on both sides of the Rhine River. Here, you can also get to explore the famous twin-spired cathedral.


The river cruise would be incomplete without a visit to Amsterdam, the dynamic capital of Holland. Explore the rich heritage of this 700-year-old city from a unique vantage point—on a canal cruise along its elegant waterways, known as grachten.
