From Budapest, we slip our moorings and head on our journey north to Esztergom spending the morning exploring its historic centre, which once was Hungary’s capital, before continuing westwards to the beautiful old town of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Navigating through Lower Austria we then reach the romantic town of Dürnstein. After, we visit the remarkable monastery in Melk.

Soon we arrive in Linz for a guided tour. Alternatively, take the short drive to Salzburg and enjoy a guided tour of the old town. On our way back eastwards, we will reach classical Vienna. Finally, cruising into Hungary, we arrive back in imperial Budapest, straddling the picturesque Danube. After a guided tour of this palatial city, we spend the evening on board, where, following our final dinner, we enjoy a Hungarian folklore show - an excellent finale to this most exceptional and relaxing cruise.
