Day 1 Budapest

Day 4 Vienna

Welcome to Budapest, where you’ll be met at the airport and transferred to your contemporary Emerald Cruises Star-Ship, before enjoying plenty of free time to explore the Hungarian capital at your leisure. This evening, enjoy an authentic Hungarian folklore show on board, followed by a traditional dinner.

Visitors to Vienna can look forward to a full schedule of arts and culture. Schönbrunn, St. Stephen’s Cathedral, and the Lipizzaner are just as much fixtures of the must-do list in Vienna as a ride on the Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel, a landmark visible from afar on the Vienna skyline. If you haven’t once in your lifetime taken a ride on the Giant Ferris Wheel and enjoyed the breathtaking views over the roofs of Vienna, you haven’t really been to Vienna at all. The Giant Ferris Wheel, trademark of Austria’s capital city and a symbol of Vienna’s world-famous Prater, creates a very special point of reference for every visitor with its unmistakeable silhouette, clearly visible even from great distances. A circular trip on one of the most significant and fascinating structures in the world, and the unique view of the city of Vienna, make the Giant Ferris Wheel an absolute cultural and architectural must see for every visitor to Austria’s capital.

Day 2 Budapest Welcome to Budapest, where an amazing end to a fantastic trip awaits. We will visit the recently opened 3D Gallery Budapest for some great fun for the entire family.

Using a mobile device or a camera is a must in the gallery. If you are feeling more active, you can instead choose to hike to Gellert Hill. The surrounding area has been rebuilt several times, most recently following the air raids of WWII. Some 18thcentury Baroque houses still stand, best explored from the medieval paths and alleyways in the area around Buda Castle.
