Meet your favourite authors on a superb cruise of the Danube
RUB shoulders with your favourite writers and enjoy fantastic food and service this autumn, when an event from the UK’s most popular literary festival takes to the water – with a cruise on the Danube.
The Henley Literary Festival cruise features talks, interviews and more from a host of top writers on board an Emerald Cruises Star-Ship during an eight-day journey along the mighty river.
The Danube is one of the greatest waterways in Europe, flowing through ten countries and four capital cities – Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava and Belgrade.
This unique itinerary in October starts in the stunning Hungarian capital, Budapest. Your ship will stop at Cesky Krumlov and the towns of Melk and Durnstein in the beautiful Unesco-listed Wachau Valley. It also takes in Bratislava and Vienna, and finishes in ancient Passau on the edge of the Black Forest in Germany.
With an incredible line-up of bestselling authors set to attend, including Joanna Trollope, Jeremy Paxman, Louis de Bernieres and the recently added Ruth Jones, this promises to be an epic voyage through central Europe that book-lovers will not want to miss.
For added peace of mind, Emerald Cruises offers a Flexible Booking Policy which allows you to defer your travel plans and transfer to an alternative departure date or itinerary up to 60 days before departure*.
