Danube Waltz
Passau to Budapest

This 8-day itinerary takes you through four of Europe's most enchanting countries-Austria, Germany, Hungary and Slovakia-along the storied Danube River. Explore Budapest's imperial and Art Nouveau delights, and take a comprehensive tour of beautiful Bratislava's baroque and Gothic buildings and fountains. In Austria, discover why Vienna is "the waltz capital," sail through the spectacular Wachau Valley, and explore the cobblestone streets and charming town squares of Dürnstein. And in Germany, admire Passau's ancient fortress and Italianate architecture. Includes a tour of the 900-year-old baroque Benedictine abbey at Melk and a full-day excursion to the scenic city of Salzburg.

More days means more to discover-with packages you can add before or after your Viking journey. Wherever your journey takes you, we offer exciting ways to see even more of the region.

Viking River Cruises

For the past 15 years, Viking has hosted guests on the world's great rivers, taking them through spectacular landscapes to glorious cities and charming towns. Only Viking allows you to discover, learn, explore and encounter the destinations you visit. A river cruise is by far the best way to enjoy such an experience, and Viking excels in delivering it, because we focus on what really matters to you:

Enriching Encounters - If you want to truly experience, explore and discover your destination, Viking takes you up close to meet the people, tour the places, learn about the customs and sample the cuisines.

Choice - A river cruise is unique in the extent to which you can make the experience your own; the choice in accommodations, excursions and dining styles cannot be matched in other ways of travel.

Celebrating Fine Food - In the company of friends, old and new, you will share one of the greatest joys of travel: the discovery of new and exciting dishes and the places they represent.

The Best Service - Unparalleled service is one of Viking's cornerstones, and over the years we have been recognized by esteemed magazines and travel industry organizations for service excellence.

Viking Value - All Viking itineraries offer great value because they are all-inclusive; your fare covers accommodations, meals, tours, cultural enrichment and more. So you get the most out of your vacation dollar.
