Our Itinerary: Danube Dreams with Jewish Heritage

Beginning in Budapest, we will sail through 4 countries over 8 days, ending the journey in Vilshofen, Germany.

Cruise along the peaceful Danube River through Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, and Germany—discovering some of Central Europe’s most splendid capitals and charming towns along the way. A historian will deliver fascinating lectures on board your ship to shine light on the rich Jewish heritage of your destinations.

Begin this timeless European river cruise in Budapest, where guided sightseeing and a tour of the lively Jewish Quarter acquaints you with the highlights of the vibrant capital of Hungary. Set sail on the Danube, take pictures of the impressive Parliament Building as you leave Budapest, and head for Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Here, enjoy a guided walk through the delightful Old Town and visit the Gothic St. Martin’s Cathedral. Next, Vienna, Austria, the “City of Music,” makes an immediate impression with its lavish Habsburg Imperial Palace and rich in Jewish heritage as well.

Enjoy the magnificent views as your river cruise takes you through the picturesque wine region of the Wachau Valley, with stops for a guided walk in Dürnstein and a visit of the impressive Benedictine Abbey of Melk. In Linz, walk around the Hauptplatz Austria’s largest medieval square, which forms the center of the city, and be sure to photograph the splendid Trinity Column. Passau, Germany, the “City of Three Rivers,” is uniquely located where the Inn, Ilz, and Danube Rivers converge. See its maze of narrow cobblestone streets lined with beautiful Patrician houses, and marvel at St. Stephen’s Cathedral, a masterpiece of baroque architecture. A memorable last stop on this delightful Danube River cruise vacation!

At each port, you will have the choice of 3 different types of excursions, as described below. Because of our focus on Jewish heritage, the “Discovery” choices will be related to the Jewish culture and history of each destination.
