Scenic beauty and countless pleasures abound along the Danube

Sail along the majestic Danube for an unforgettable journey from Vienna to Nuremberg. You'll discover one beautiful gem after another - the imposing 900-year-old baroque abbey of Melk, the old wine villages of the Wachau Valley, and the UNESCO Old Town of Regensburg. Vibrant cities, enchanting medieval villages, and picturesque countryside define the Danube.

Celebrate the astounding beauty and variety of architectural styles to be found in just one region - and often in a single building

Experience the historical showcase for Europe's finest music, art and architecture while in Vienna. Walk through an archetypal German medieval city with more than a thousand years of history during your stay in Nuremberg. Visit Passau, a baroque gem with a touch of Italian elegance and energy, and while there attend an organ concert at St. Stephan's Cathedral, home to Europe's largest pipe organ.

And of course, all along the way, savor the flavors of the region. Indulge in the rich, delectable pastries and distinctive coffee to be found in Vienna, and taste the delicate apricot-scented wines of the Wachau Valley. For seven nights discover wonder after wonder in an endless parade of beauty and splendor.

Who will enjoy this cruise: Anyone who believes in fairy tales and happy endings. Connoisseurs of wine and great food. Music lovers and art aficionados. Nature lovers and history buffs will all find something splendid along the Danube.
