CRUISE ITINERARY
15 Day Cruise
		On this cruise you see the Danube, arguably Europe’s most beautiful river, over its entire length - measuring over 2,000 kilometres from the Alps to the Black Sea. This journey takes in a total of eight European countries (Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania) and four capital cities (Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Bucharest).
Delve into the history of old Europe and absorb the incredible extent of the former Habsburg Empire, which at the time united so much culture, and so many languages and nations under its patronage. Witness, too, the achievements of the new Europe. On this cruise you’ll be fascinated by the landscapes bordering the Danube, just as those who travelled across the Empire were then. Visiting the nature reserves of the Danube delta and passing through the world-famous ‘Iron Gate’ are certain to be among the highlights of this journey.
Itinerary Highlights
		Day 1 - Embarkation from 4 p.m. on the AMADEUS in Passau, the city where three rivers meet. The ship leaves port at 6 p.m. After having become acquainted with your floating hotel, you will be welcomed by your cruise director and served a cocktail in the Panorama Bar before the welcome dinner.
		Day 2 - At about 11 a.m., the AMADEUS puts into port at Vienna. The entire day is at your disposal to explore this metropolis on the Danube, this city of music and joie de vivre - where Sachertorte and Heuriger are just as famous as St. Stephen’s Cathedral and the Imperial Palace. See all the important sights on our Vienna sightseeing tour (incl.) or absorb the city centre on your own. The ship leaves the port of Vienna at 6.30 p.m. and heads downstream for Hungary.
		Day 3 - In the morning the AMADEUS arrives at Esztergom, where we get a tremendous view of the vast cathedral above the Danube. Following breakfast on board, the party joining the Esztergom-Szentendre excursion (opt.) leaves the ship to continue by bus via Visegrad to Budapest, while the ship cruises downstream through the "Danube Bend", one of the most scenic stretches of the entire river, also known as the "Hungarian Wachau".
The ship arrives at Budapest at 12 a.m., where those on the excursion come aboard again. The Budapest sightseeing tour (incl.) in the early afternoon enables you to absorb this city’s most important sights. After dinner enjoy an unforgettable evening cruise (incl.) on AMADEUS with a glorious view of the beautifully floodlit buildings on both banks of the river. A Gipsy band, specially engaged for this cruise, entertains you on board with lively music and you also see a performance by a Hungarian folklore group.
		Day 4 - Enjoy a lazy cruise day on the sun deck as the impressive landscape passes by.
		Day 5 - Arrival in the early morning at Belgrade, the capital of the Republic of Yugoslavia, situated at the confluence of the Danube and the Save.

Later in the morning, we come to one of the highlights of the cruise, the Cataract stretch (approx. 130 km long), the world famous rise of the Danube through the Carpathians and the foothills of the Balkans – the "Iron Gate". Then we traverse the locks of the two gigantic Danube hydroelectric power stations, Djerdap I and II, near the town of Orsova.

		Day 8- At about 7.30 a.m., the ship docks at Coral and you may join the excursion to the Danube Delta (opt.). From a small boat along St. George’s canal you can see some of the unique topography of the “Danube Delta”. The delta covers an area of about 4.340 km², a paradise for flora and fauna experts and enthusiasts. In the afternoon, let yourself be carried away by the famous music inspired by the Danube and played and danced by excellent Romanian folklore group.
		Day 9 - At about 7.30 a.m., the ship puts into port at Oltenita. In the morning, you may want to join us on our Bucharest sightseeing tour (incl.) to experience the hustle and bustle of this capital city, which is increasingly "Central European" in atmosphere, though some of the wide boulevards and vast buildings remind one of Paris.
The drive back (of about one hour) to the ship in Giurgiu then takes you past seemingly endless fields of the formerly barren Wallachian plain, and through picturesque little villages. The AMADEUS leaves Giurgiu at 3.30 p.m.
		Day 10 - The AMADEUS continues its journey upstream, retracing the route through the romantic Wallachian plain between Romania and Bulgaria. The ship returns along the Danube rise through the Carpathians and the foothills of the Balkans.
