Itinerary: 6 days from Passau and return

Day 1 - Embarkation on the AMADEUS in Passau, the city where three rivers meet. The ship leaves port at 6 p.m. and takes you through a lovely stretch of the Danube known as the Schlögener Schlinge.

After these first scenic impressions of the Danube, our courier on board will welcome you with a cocktail before the official welcome dinner.

Day 2 - At about 12.00 a.m., the AMADEUS puts into port at Vienna. The entire day is at your disposal to discover the metropolis on the Danube. The city of music and joie de vivre where Sachertorte and Heuriger are just as famous as St. Stephen's Cathedral and the Imperial Palace.

See all the important sights on our Vienna sightseeing tour or explore this city full of tradition on your own. The ship leaves the port of Vienna at 6 p.m. and heads downstream for Budapest.

Day 3 - Arrival at Budapest, the capital of Hungary at 10 a.m. The magnificent buildings lining the right and left banks of the Danube are an unforgettable sight. Our Budapest sightseeing tour encompasses all the major sights of the city.

After dinner enjoy an unforgettable evening cruise on the AMADEUS with a glorious view of the beautifully floodlit buildings on both banks of the river. A Gypsy band, specially engaged for this cruise, entertains you on board with lively music and you also see a performance by a Hungarian folklore group.

Day 4 - After a substantial breakfast, relax in the morning on the sun deck and take in the picturesque panorama as it glides by. At 1.30 p.m. the AMADEUS reaches the port of Bratislava. In the afternoon, you have the opportunity to get to know the city during the Bratislava sightseeing tour.

The ship departs at 5.00 p.m. upstream to Austria.

Day 5 - In the morning, the boat berths at the idyllic wine-growing town of Emmersdorf. From here, you can take part in the excursion "Beauties of the Wachau". At 2 p.m., the boat continues its trip through the scenic and mythical Wachau.

On the last evening of your journey on the Danube, the captain of the AMADEUS will be delighted to welcome you to the Captain Gala Dinner. The excellent orchestra which has been entertaining you in the Panorama Bar throughout the cruise will get you swinging and dancing the night away.

Day 6 - The AMADEUS arrives at Passau, the town where the rivers meet, at about 9.00 a.m. Disembarkation by 9.30 a.m.
