More than a five-star Danube cruise
It’s a seamless journey immersing you in meaningful and enriching experiences
ROMANCE is alive and well on the beautiful blue Danube, where the culture-rich cities of Vienna and Budapest (right) are just two of the magnificent ports of call. In between their glittering sights, restored castles stand watch atop dramatic hilltops and Gothic spires rise out of quaint half-timbered villages along the banks.
It’s a journey that conjures up thoughts of medieval jousts, cobbled streets and childhood fairytales, while creating memories to last a lifetime. A Gems of the Danube fivestar luxury river cruise is a waltz through this celebrated wonderland, bringing a rich tapestry of experiences. And as it’s with Scenic, each element is in a class of its own. Breathe in the opulence and luxury of Palais Liechtenstein, while enjoying a glass of fine Austrian sekt — before being enthralled by an enchanting private classical evening concert featuring the timeless music of Strauss and Mozart. Sample wines and regional delicacies in the Wachau Valley, meet the current owners of Artstetten Castle (once home to Archduke Franz Ferdinand), or be guided through Melk’s magnificently gilded, 18thcentury Benedictine Abbey. Meanwhile, Weltenburg Abbey brings the chance to taste a beer from one of the oldest monastery breweries in the world, while the Unesco-listed Czech city of Cesky Krumlov is a medieval dream. With Scenic Enrich putting you at the heart of Europe’s most refined art, music and architecture, and Scenic Freechoice allowing you to tailor your cruise and pursue personal interests at your own pace, you’ll encounter sights that leave you wonder-struck every day.
