Dreams On The Danube River ~ September 27 - October 8, 2027 (12 Days)
NEW RELEASE!
We are pleased to announce a return to the beautiful Danube River! An Exclusive River Cruise Tour offered by Collins Tours, another unique experience! Your adventure begins in Budapest, Hungary’s vibrant capital, with a two-night stay at 5 Star Marriott Budapest city-centre hotel. Enjoy a welcome reception with hot and cold hors d’oeuvres and start each day with a buffet breakfast. A guided city tour offers a glimpse into both sides of the Danube, from the historic Castle District with its fairytale turrets of Fisherman’s Bastion and colorful Matthias Church to the bustling streets of Pest, home to the imposing Hungarian Parliament Building, Heroes’ Square, and the poignant “Shoes on the Danube Bank” memorial. Board the elegant AmaReina and enjoy an overnight stay on board in Budapest, allowing you to experience the city’s magic after dark. Cruise on to Bratislava, the “Coronation City of Kings,” where history and charm combine in the Old Town, and panoramic views await those who climb to Bratislava Castle. Continue to Vienna, the “City of Waltzes,” with its majestic Opera House, former Imperial Palace, and historic city centre. Take in St. Stephen’s Cathedral or explore the city by bike, soaking in the beauty and grandeur of this imperial city. Sail through the scenic Wachau Valley to Weissenkirchen, where quaint villages and vineyards line the riverbanks. Explore Dürnstein with its medieval streets, sample local wines and apricot treats, or hike to the fortress where Richard the Lionheart was once held. Continue to Grein, home to the imposing Greinburg Castle, a historic landmark rising above the town. In Linz, enjoy the option of excursions to Salzburg or Český Krumlov, exploring cobblestone streets, Baroque architecture, and impressive castle complexes. Discover Passau, with its blend of Gothic and Italian Baroque architecture and the towering St. Stephen’s Cathedral or choose a more active adventure with a hike or bike ride along the River Inn.
End your river journey in Vilshofen, where a festive AmaWaterways-exclusive Oktoberfest celebration brings the town to life. Throughout your cruise, relax in the luxurious AmaReina, enjoying fine dining, panoramic lounges, a walking track, heated pool, fitness room, and spa amenities. After disembarking, your journey continues with a two-night stay in Prague at the 5 Star Marriott Prague city-centre hotel. An included city tour and canal cruise reveal the city’s fairytale streets, historic bridges, and stunning architecture.
