Danube

Danube River | September 26 - October 8, 2024

The Danube River has set the scene for the rise and fall of empires, from the Romans to the Hapsburg dynasty. Majestic castles and fortresses tell the story of the nations that developed along its banks since ancient times. Take an extraordinary journey with alumni and friends from September 26 to October 8, 2024. Travel from the imperial Austrian capital city of Vienna, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to Bucharest, the cosmopolitan capital of Romania.

This outstanding program features seven countries and the enchanting eastern Danube River Valley, an untouched region steeped in natural beauty. Cruise for nine nights aboard the deluxe Amadeus Silver III and spend two nights in Bucharest, where splendid architecture has earned it the nickname “Little Paris.”

A rich mosaic of medieval cities, charming villages, rugged countryside, and centuries‑old traditions awaits you. Visit the ancient land of Bulgaria, the relatively young territories of Serbia and eastern Croatia, Hungary’s fabled puszta (plains), and the UNESCO World Heritage‑designated landmarks of Budapest. Pass through the Iron Gates dividing the Carpathian and Balkan Mountains—where no fewer than six languages are spoken—and experience the fascinating Slavic heritage of medieval Belgrade.
