Waltz down the Blue Danube on a perfectly orchestrated riverboat cruise that explores, in depth, the significant role the “River of Kings” has played in 2,000 years of European culture in Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic. This value-packed 12-day journey combines a 7-night cruise aboard one of Tauck’s luxury riverboats – featuring spacious cabins and suites with floor-to-ceiling windows and French balconies for just 118 guests, a choice of on-board dining venue, wine with dinner on the ship, informative lectures and cultural performances – with two-night stays at premier hotels in the heart of Prague and Budapest.
