SPECIALITY CRUISES Classical Music These special cruises have been carefully designed for lovers of classical music, with specially-arranged music programmes on board and on land. These music cruises are offered on a Rhine cruise from Basel to Amsterdam and on the Danube from Passau to Budapest. Private concerts in unique places, such as a piano concert in the church of St. Thomas in Strasbourg, in the “Kaiserdom zu Speyer” (Imperial Speyer Cathedral), or in the Beethoven House in Bonn, are a few of the highlights of the music cruise along the Rhine. During the Danube music cruise, private concerts are held in the Residenz in Salzburg, in Melk Abbey, in the Moyzes Hall in Bratislava and in Duna Palace in Budapest.

Danube Delta Experience the Danube, probably the most beautiful river of Europe, in its entire length. Cruise along 4,000 river kilometres, visit eight countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria and Romania), and five world renowned capital cities (Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava, Belgrade and Bucharest). The trip through the “Iron Gates”, the imposing gorge where the Danube breaks through the Carpathian Mountains, is a particular highlight of this scenic cruise. The journey to kilometre zero, the estuary of the Danube where it meets the Black Sea, and the visit to the Danube Delta with its vast wildlife and natural beauty will remain unforgettable experiences.
