  The Danube, through its rich history, has remained timeless and truly enchanting. Throughout the centuries, the Danube has inspired countless musicians, composers, artists and poets, and you will discover the same inspiration with a backdrop of the Austrian Alps, lush vineyards giving way to regal cities, and ancient castles and hilltop villages. Travel from one captivating city to the next – Budapest, the beautiful “Queen of the Danube,” Bratislava, the “Coronation City of Kings,” and breathtaking Vienna, the“Waltz Capital of the World.” Experience the medieval town of Linz; the charming village of Dürnstein located in Austria’s lush vineyard-rich Wachau Valley, and Passau with Europe’s largest pipe organ located in its grand cathedral. This is a regal journey full of centuries of intriguing history that will unfold before your eyes.    Welcome on board Unpack only once as you enjoy a journey of culture, comfort and convenience, right into the heart of your destination on board your River Cruise. River Cruising allows you to enjoy the exceptional and attentive service of highly trained crew, the sumptuous food and fine wines and the relaxed, sociable atmosphere that you have come to expect from ocean cruising, plus so much more. River cruising enables you, the discerning traveller to break down the barriers of landlocked Europe, or the huge land masses of China or Russia and open them up to the world of cruising. The banks of Europe’s waterways for example are home to some of the planet’s most treasured culture-hubs and quaintest villages and you sail into the heart of your destination every time. Be in the middle of the action, instead of seeing it from afar. Whether you are a culture vulture or prefer to watch the world go by as you relax in comfort, then River Cruising is for you. Life on board Whilst River Cruise vessels do not feature huge amounts of on board space, there is ample space and light entertainment to enjoy a relaxed and sociable experience. A River Cruise is much more about destination rather than on board entertainment so expect entertainment to be musicians and games for example. The top deck is normally an open deck, ideal for sitting watching the scenery change by the second, relaxing with a drink and the day and evening away. Dress code River cruising tends to be a much more casual affair than some ocean cruises. Some River Cruises may require a smarter dress code for dinner. The general rule of thumb is smart casual in the evening and practical and comfortable during the day. There is usually a special captain’s dinner at some point during a River Cruise, where most people tend to dress in cocktail dresses for women and jacket and tie for men. There may also be a fancy dress evening along the way but these are completely optional.  Your choice of chic stateroom, appointed with private shower room, a choice of twin or double beds, flatscreen televisions and ample storage space. Most with large picture windows or French balconies. A tempting selection of fine dining specialities, prepared from the freshest ingredients bought daily from local markets by a Certified Global Master Chef leading a professional culinary team. Whilst on board, breakfast, lunch and dinner is included, plus Captain’s Welcome and farewell dinners.
