Danube Valley

The Majestic Danube aboard the RIVER CLOUD and RIVER CLOUD II

If you could be so kind, could you hum a bit of Strauss’ “Blue Danube”? We can’t send a symphony over the interner. But we can delight you with all the majesty, romance, elegance and grandeur of the Danube so immortally captured by Strauss’ waltz. Gracefully sweeping in hairpin curves through the heart of Europe, the course of the upper Danube binds together the medieval lanes of Passau (where the world’s largest church organ is located), the baroque wonder of Melk Abbey, the fabulous cities of Vienna, Bratislava – whose historic district is unchanged since the Middle Ages – and the robust and graceful architecture of Budapest.
