A river cruise for people who think they do not like cruises. Our group has its own guides, its own table, and its own excursions off the standard menu — plus a ship that docks in the middle of every city instead of an hour outside it.

Day by Day
10 days, 9 nights. Every day has an anchor and an escape hatch — nothing here is compulsory.
Board mid-afternoon, settle into your cabin, then dinner as we sail past the parliament in full light.
Buda hill in the morning with our own guide, free afternoon for the thermal baths or the market hall.
Compact, walkable, and better than its reputation. Old town tour, then sail on with the afternoon on deck.
Imperial highlights in the morning, evening chamber concert in a small hall. The coffee house crawl in between is not optional.
The prettiest stretch of the river. Melk Abbey, then a family wine estate on the terraces above Dürnstein.
Day trip across the Czech border to a UNESCO town that fits inside a river bend.
Early private walk through the old town, afternoon free for Mozart, mountains or cake. All three is acceptable.
Where the Inn, Danube and Ilz meet. Organ concert in the cathedral and a last walk through the old town.
Bavarian village welcome, farewell dinner on board with the crew who now know your coffee order.
Transfers to Munich airport, or stay on for our two-night Munich extension.
