Discover Europe’s most popular river cruises
A classic journey on the Rhine, Main, and Danube rivers promises spectacular landscapes, rich culture, and fascinating history, where world-class cities are complemented by romantic towns.
On board your award-winning Star-Ship, the iconic Danube River guides you on a fascinating journey, discovering some of Europe’s cultural highlights and diverse countries. Cruise through the picturesque Wachau Valley and visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Ceský Krumlov, a charming Czech town where its medieval buildings and Gothic façades will transport you back in time to the Middle Ages. Embark on a tour around Vienna’s famous Ringstrasse to soak up the Austrian capital’s imperial grandeur, including magnificent palaces. Explore the historical architecture of Slovakian Bratislava, extending to a fairytale-like castle and in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, savour a local tasting of regional products as you’re guided through a neo-Gothic Grand Market.
