Itinerary highlights
From Prague's spires to Budapest's bridges, your journey unfolds across cobbled streets, vineyard valleys, and storied capitals. One day you're pedaling past vines in the Wachau, the next you're learning the rhythm of a Viennese waltz or cooking paprika-scented dishes in Budapest. Along the way, taste wine in village taverns, listen to local musicians, or simply watch the river drift past from the deck. It's Europe at its most vivid, with space to move, explore, and linger as you choose.
Your journey, ashore & afloat.
Fourteen days. Open any day for the full narrative and that day's highlights.
