See the fairytale castles, cathedrals and palaces of four central European countries on this 8-day Danube cruise. Board your ship in Passau, Germany, then discover the Benedictine abbey at Melk, Austria—a former palace and now a working monastery. In Hungary, tour the spectacular basilica at Esztergom, a palace in Visegrád that housed both Ottoman and Magyar kings, and the imperial capital of Budapest. Take a guided walk through Slovakia’s medieval capital of Bratislava and see its classical-style Primatial Palace. Then, spend some time in Vienna and Dürnstein on your way back to Passau, where it all began. You are walking in the footsteps of royalty.
