A morning to relax on board and

you cruise upriver, Hungary is on your left and Slovakia is on
your right. The two countries share the Danube for a 58-mile
stretch, with the border in the middle of the river. Situated at
the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains, Bratislava is the
dynamic capital of Slovakia. The charming Old Town with its Town
Hall and Mirbach Palace as well as gothic ST. MARTIN’S CATHEDRAL
should not be missed. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Day 4: Dürnstein,
Austria–Melk
This morning our first stop is
Dürnstein, known for the magnificent baroque Stiftskirche with
its blue façade, lying right in the heart of the Wachau wine
region. Above town are the ruins of the castle where England’s
King Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned in 1192. Explore this
picturesque little town on your own or choose from a number of
optional excursions. Melk’s magnificent BENEDICTINE ABBEY
dominates the town from its commanding hill site, and is one of
Europe’s largest monasteries. The view from the terrace over the
Danube and surrounding countryside is breathtaking! (Breakfast,
Lunch, Dinner)
Day 5: Linz–Grein
Linz, Austria’s third-largest town,
lies on both banks of the Danube and is an important industrial
town and busy river port. Culture is an important part of life
in Linz. The composer Anton Bruckner lived here and Mozart’s
Linzer Symphony was composed in the city. Choose from a variety
of optional activities today. In the late afternoon, arrive in
the attractive country resort of Grein, which is nestled at the
foot of a bluff in the shadow of its castle and tour the
highlights with a Local Guide. The turreted houses on the main
square make excellent photo material. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
