Following the footsteps of the Hapsburgs, this River CruiseTour showcases the Danube's most riveting locales and the historic ports of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire. Besides the grand capitals, Budapest, Vienna, and Prague, you'll cruise through dramatic Bratislava, Slovakia's capital, and picturesque Linz—destinations rarely featured on ordinary tours. A three-night hotel stay in Prague, sightseeing, and exclusive Discovery Series events round out your central European discoveries. Plus, based on your requests, we're now offering three-night extensions in both historic Budapest and Prague, the stunning capital of the Czech Republic—giving you time to explore them even further.
