River Cruises on the Blue Danube River

These European river cruises by Viking River Cruises are the way to go.

Immortalized by Strauss, the Danube connects some of Europe's most storied cities. On this Viking Cruise you travel between historic Nuremberg in Bavaria to the baroque cities of Passau, Linz and Melk. Then you explore the imperial cities of Vienna and Budapest. 

You travel through Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary and see some of Europe's most picturesque cities. The music of Mozart is still in the air, the sacher tortes are still being made and the grandeur of central Europe awaits your discovery.

With a backdrop of the Austrian Alps, the river connects quaint villages, grand cities and centuries of music, art and the best that Europe had to offer. Sail through the enchanting Wachau Valley and Bavarian countryside and experience the delicate mix of Eastern and Central European culture. Budapest, "Queen of the Danube", will captivate you with her charms and Vienna, Cradle of the Classics, will show you why Beethoven, Brams, Chopin, Hayden, Liszt, Mahler, Mozart, Schoenberg, Schubert, and Strauss all came there to achieve fame and fortune.

This cruise will delight those who enjoy standing at the crossroads of culture. Music lovers will delight in traveling through the area where so many of the great composers flourished. History buffs will reflect back to a more classic period when this area was the showcase for the thrust of the enlightenment. If you want to experience the sole of Europe these European cruises are for you.
