We are very excited to welcome you on a captivating journey from Budapest, Hungary to Regensburg, Germany. Your favorite cruise specialist, Cheri Thomas, will be with you for the entire journey! BONUS: Founder, Gail Pastor, will also be onboard escorting this cruise!

We'll be sailing on the very inclusive, Scenic Luxury River Cruise Line. In each port, you'll be able to choose from multiple tours which help you experience history, culture and stunning landscapes.

Start your journey a few days early in Budapest - and then round out your vacation with a few days extra in Munich or Prague. These optional add-on days will maximize your vacation experience.

Let’s explore the highlights of this 8-day adventure:

Budapest: You're in for a treat as the ship over-nights in Budapest, maximizing your time in the city. Your journey culminates in the “Paris of the East.” Soak in the healing properties of the city’s thermal baths, explore the historic Buda Castle, and cross the iconic Chain Bridge.

Bratislava: Take a walking tour of Old Town. This charming neighborhood boasts narrow lanes, well-preserved burgher’s houses, and noble palaces.

Vienna: Wake up in the city of music. This city oozes charm with magnificent Baroque buildings, ample green spaces, a vibrant coffee-house culture and masterpiece-filled galleries and museums.

Not to be missed is the exclusive Scenic Enrich Classical Concert at Palais Liechtenstein.

Melk / Melk Abbey: As you sail through Austria, stop at Melk Abbey, an awe-inspiring Benedictine monastery perched atop a hill. Its baroque architecture and panoramic views of the Wachau Valley make it a must-see.

Wachau Valley Apricots: Your Cruise Director will organize a special treat for you and invite a local producer on board to share some regional delicacies/ These sweet treats are a delightful taste of the region.

Salzburg: Disembark your Scenic Space-Ship in Passau, from where you will journey via coach to Salzburg, Austria. Surrounded by alpine peaks and on the banks of the Salzach River, Salzburg is best know as the home of Mozart & The Sound of Music.

Regensburg: End your voyage in this medieval gem, where cobblestone streets wind through well-preserved architecture. Visit the Stone Bridge, a marvel of engineering dating back to the 12th century, and explore the charming old town.

Consider adding on an escorted 3-night extension in Prague!
