Discover architectural gems, breathtaking countryside, and culinary delights

Relax as you sail the majestic Danube for an unforgettable journey from Vienna to Nuremberg. Celebrate the astounding beauty and variety of architectural styles to be found in just one region—and often in a single building.

Discover the imposing 900-year-old Baroque Melk Abbey, the UNESCO World Heritage-designated Wachau Valley, and Old Town Regensburg, the largest intact Medieval town in Europe. Waltz through imperial Vienna, home to some of Europe's finest music, art, and architecture. Explore Passau with its Italian-Baroque flair, and delight in a cathedral organ concert on Europe's largest pipe organ. Walk through Nuremberg's archetypal Medieval streets. And take a unique excursion through the Bavarian Forest with a horse-drawn carriage ride and a glass workshop visit.

All along the way, you'll savor the flavors of the region, from Vienna's delectable pastries and distinctive coffee to the delicate, apricot-scented wines of the Wachau Valley. For seven nights, discover wonder after wonder in an endless parade of beauty and splendor.
