Sail right into the pages of a storybook along the legendary Danube...through pages gilded with history...and past the turrets and towers of castles steeped in legend. You'll meander along the fabled "Blue Danube" to grand cities like Vienna and Budapest where kings and queens once waltzed, and to gingerbread towns like Wertheim and Nuremberg that evoke tales of Hansel and Gretel and the Brothers Grimm. If you listen closely, you might hear the haunting melody of the Lorelei siren herself as you cruise past her infamous river cliff post! During this 9-day journey, encounter the grand cities and quaint villages along the celebrated Danube River. Explore both sides of Hungary's capital-traditional "Buda" and more cosmopolitan "Pest"-and from Fishermen's Bastion, see how the river divides this fascinating city. Experience Vienna's imperial architecture and gracious culture, and tour riverside towns in Austria's Wachau Valley. And in Germany, explore a baroque cathedral and stroll cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses. Savor the tastes of authentic dishes, learn about local legends, and understand why Strauss immortalized the "Blue Danube" in his famous melody.
