Overview

This action-packed cruise will uncover some of Europe’s most fascinating history as our knowledgeable experts take you back in time to reveal how art and architecture along the Danube have been influenced by life on the river.  

From imposing basilicas that hide some of the region's most spectacular art to the opulent royal residence of the Habsburg rulers, Schönbrunn Palace. We'll deep dive into the significance the Danube played on European history - and enjoy some breathtaking views along the way. You'll be joined by our knowledgeable experts - who'll captivate you with stories the history books didn’t cover and reveal insider secrets known only to the locals. 

We'll spend our days uncovering the history and art of three capital cities (and some of the historic landmarks in between) and the evenings enjoying life on the river on our luxury river cruise ship. This holiday is a unique twist on our popular Blue Danube river cruise, ideal for those with an interest in art and history.
