Day by Day Summary and Map

Day 1 - Friday - Aug 2, 2024

Nuremberg, Germany

Arrive at Nuremberg Airport. If your cruise package includes a group arrival transfer or if you have purchased a private arrival transfer, you will be transferred to the ship.

Day 2 - Saturday - Aug 3, 2024

Regensburg, Germany

Bavaria's first capital, Regensburg, owes its impressive historical lineage and rich architectural heritage to 600 years as a Free Imperial City, a fact recognized by UNESCO in 2006. Today, you'll discover how the beautifully preserved medieval city coexists with a vibrant modern urban center.

Day 3 - Sunday - Aug 4, 2024

Passau, Germany

Passau is a crossroads in more ways than one-three rivers meet here and three nations nearly do, making for a fascinating cultural mosaic. Get to know the town and its main claim to fame, Europe's largest pipe organ.

Day 4 - Monday - Aug 5, 2024

Passau, Germany

Engelhartszell, Austria

Grein, Austria

Your ship cruises through a scenic highlight of the Danube today, the Schlogener Schlinge-a hairpin loop in the Danube that was once very hazardous for ships and is now a lovely, serene stretch of water.

Day 5 - Tuesday - Aug 6, 2024

Grein, Austria

Emmersdorf, Austria

Tulln, Austria

Vienna, Austria

Your ship will dock in Emmersdorf, midway through the glorious landscape, where you are invited to enjoy a journey to the charming town of Spitz. Later in the day, you'll want to find a comfortable seat in the lounge or on the Sun Deck as your ship cruises through the Wachau Valley. Over the eons, the Danube cut a gorge through the foothills of the Bohemian Mountains, resulting in a 19-mile (30-kilometer) stretch of beautiful riverine scenery.

Day 6 - Wednesday - Aug 7, 2024

Vienna, Austria

The grand dame of the Danube, Vienna was the heart of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and remains, to this day, the political and cultural center of Austria. Klimt painted here; Beethoven and Mozart composed here; Freud developed his theories here. It's a treasure trove of splendid architecture, astonishing art collections, and inviting cafes-and today it is yours to explore. A city tour will show you the architectural highlights of the Austrian capital as well as the legendary Belvedere Palace. Or, indulge your passion for fine art and fine food with a fascinating and memorable panoramic tour. Or, explore Jewish Vienna via our Jewish Heritage excursion.

Day 7 - Thursday - Aug 8, 2024

Budapest, Hungary

Located on opposite sides of the Danube, Buda and Pest each has a distinctive character and allure all its own. Explore this dynamic and multi-faceted city with your choice of excursions-you can see it from a local's perspective on a walking tour, or cover more ground with a panoramic tour. Or, choose our Jewish Heritage excursion offering you a detailed introduction to Jewish Budapest.

Day 8 - Friday - Aug 9, 2024

Budapest, Hungary

You've experienced the best of Prague and the Danube River, sampling myriad culinary delights and exploring fascinating stops along the way. Now your journey comes to a close (unless you've booked a Uniworld post-cruise tour of Budapest) and it's time to disembark the ship. If your cruise/tour includes a group departure transfer or if you have purchased a private departure transfer, you will be transferred to Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport for your flight home. Your Uniworld adventure may be over, but we know you'll enjoy the memories you've made for years to come.
