Itinerary
Day 1
Vienna, Austria

Embark at 6pm in Vienna. Welcome cocktail and dinner with an Austrian theme on board this evening.

Day 2
Vienna to Budapest, Hungary

Breakfast onboard followed by an optional guided tour of Vienna. For more than 6 centuries, Vienna, the Imperial City has been regarded as the seat of the Habsburgs. This city particularly owes its charm to its monuments, its many museums and its famous Operas. The Christmas markets simply add to its charm. Discover the fabulous Christmas market in front of the town hall, marvellously decorated for this festive season. Return onboard for lunch. Set sail for Budapest and spend the afternoon cruising on the Danube, giving you chance to relax and enjoy the magnificent scenery. Dinner on board followed by an evening of dancing. Arrive at Budapest during the night.

Day 3
Budapest, Hungary

After breakfast we spend the morning on an optional guided tour of Budapest. Discover this amazing city, split by the river Danube into two sections and reunited to make one city in 1872: Buda with its scenic hills and valleys and Baroque Palaces, and Pest with its variety of architectural influences. Visit the Budapest Christmas market, one of the biggest in Europe, selling an array of local produce. Return on board for lunch. Free afternoon to further discover this magnificent city at your leisure. Return on board as the ship sets sail at about 7pm and we head towards Bratislava. Hungarian theme dinner and evening of entertainment on board.

Day 4
Bratislava, Slovakia

Morning of cruising and breakfast on board. For the brave among you we offer a gym class on board. Lunch as we cruise, and arrive in Bratislava at around 2pm. This afternoon there will be an optional guided tour of the Slovakian capital. Bratislava’s real charm is in its old town: splendid baroque palaces, churches and delightful squares. In the old town you will discover the Bratislava Christmas Market, with a range of Slovakian art products on display. Return on board for dinner and gala evening. The ship departs during the night for Vienna.
