What's this trip about?

    Go off the beaten path from Prague to Nuremberg to Vienna and uncover the scenic wonders and remarkable histories of the cities that rest along the Danube. As your adventure starts, castles, stunning architecture, natural wonders and rich history ensue. Not only that, but you’ll discover Central Europe’s fascinating Jewish ties as part of our Jewish Heritage program – the only itinerary of its kind offered on the rivers. Enjoy the great outdoors and bespoke experiences along the Danube in cities that inspired fairytales. Prague boasts Hradčany, the biggest, and arguably the most extraordinary, castle in the world, and an Old Jewish Quarter that’s witnessed both hardships and celebrations for centuries. Discover the old walled city and Nuremberg’s mesmerizing castles on the Nuremberg Panoramic Highlights Tour. Confront and explore the region’s complicated and devastating history as you visit infamous Nazi documentation centers and party rally grounds. Stroll through countless enchanting old towns and villages, with plenty of “Let’s Go” opportunities for hiking and biking in Regensburg, Straubing, Deggendorf, Vilshofen, Passau and Engelhartszell – all teeming with magnificent architecture, age-old tradition and outstanding breweries. Explore Weissenkirchen and its devastatingly-beautiful landscapes. Participate in a “Village Day,” and stroll through towns accompanied by wine, apricot treats and a vineyard hike. In the historical capital of Vienna, you’ll be met with glorious food, wine, art and outdoor experiences all on your search for new inspiration along the Danube.
