This is a real highlight of your Danube cruise: Vienna, the capital of Austria with that extra-special something. The locals sound as though they are singing when they speak, and it is customary for certain business owners to address their regular customers with their full title. That’s just the way things are done here. With its wealth of museums, galleries, palaces and castles, plus the state opera and many theatres, the city enjoys a lively cultural scene all year-round. The Viennese are proud of their city – and rightly so!

Thanks to the mild climate and the southern slope of the Mecsek mountain range, almonds, figs and sweet grapes grow perfectly in the region around Pécs, earning it the moniker in Hungary, The Mediterranean City. Pécs is also known for its fine porcelain, which is produced in the traditional Zsolnay factory. In 2010, Pécs was one of the European Capitals of Culture and awaits you with interesting sights and an elegant city centre. With this many assets, it is not surprising that even the great religions settled here and made their mark on the city’s architecture: the former Turkish mosque is the largest in Central Europe, the magnificent cathedral is home to a stunning panelled ceiling and the synagogue is one of the most beautiful in Hungary.

Not far from Belgrade on the slopes of the Fruska Gora National Park along the Danube lies the picturesque town of Sremski Karlovci - known as Karlowitz. Sremski Karlovci is a place with an extraordinary cultural heritage. Among other things, the peace treaty between the Holy Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire was signed here in 1699. After a walk through Sremski Karlovci, you visit the museum of beekeeping and a wine cellar that is over 300 years old, where you learn all about Serbian wine making and, of course, taste Serbian wines. Traditionally, you also taste honey and liquor before heading back to the ship.

During your cruising day, enjoy watching the scenery drift by as you look forward to the next towns and cities. Our tip: the SPA-ROSA is a great place to unwind and pamper yourself during your day on the river.
The capital of the autonomous province of Vojvodina makes quite an impression, with the mighty Petrovaradin fortress occupying the right bank of the Danube and the picturesque old town of Novi Sad standing atop the left bank. With around 220,000 inhabitants, it is Serbia’s second-largest city. Tourists are captivated by the old town – which looks as though it could almost be Italian. Will it cast a spell on you too? During this Danube cruise, you’ll have the chance to find out.
Trips
The mighty fortress of Novi Sad is very reminiscent of French fortresses: they served as a model for this former bastion against the Ottoman Empire. After the first leg of our bike tour you will also be rewarded with a spectacular view of the Danube here. You will then continue through the extensive city park, along the Serbian-Orthodox church with its magnificent baroque tower and on to the elegant neo-Renaissance-style pedestrian zone.

First of all, you’ll travel into Novi Sad’s old town by bus. On a walk through its handsome streets, you’ll find that you can’t help but think of the opulent Habsburg era. The old town is very different to the outskirts that you will have just passed through. The centre is characterised by narrow lanes lined with colourful houses, and you’ll see grand churches everywhere you look. After enjoying some free time, you’ll return to the ship.

This idyllic little town on the Danube in southern Hungary is a delightful place to visit. Its pleasant location, snug alleyways and generous squares lend it a relaxing atmosphere. The country’s southernmost Danube ferry plies back and forth here, before the river leaves Hungary and flows into the Black Sea. Your river cruise will take you to one of the Danube’s most beautiful towns, which is also a carnival hotspot.
Bratislava, home to approximately 450,000 inhabitants and located on the left bank of the Danube, is a young capital city – the youngest in Europe, in fact. Throughout the old town, you’ll see traces of the Austro-Hungarian Empire wherever you go. This leisurely city of baroque and rococo, palaces and palisades, and art and coffee houses is a perfect place to wander around, marvel at impressive sights, relax and unwind.
