Van Amsterdam naar Boedapest, en in vele boeiende stops onderweg, ervaar je de cultuur van Midden-Europa op een unieke manier tijdens deze tijdloze riviercruise vakantie. Amsterdam is de levendige hoofdstad van Nederland - zowel historisch als modern. Deze kleurrijke stad is geliefd om haar levendige mix van verfijnde architectuur en klassieke pleinen en grachten. Bekijk de schatten van deze 700 jaar oude stad vanuit een uniek perspectief tijdens een rondvaart langs de elegante grachten. Op naar Duitsland voor een stadswandeling met gids in Keulen - de prachtige, 2000 jaar oude stad die bekend is om haar gotische architectuur. Vaar door de dramatische Rijnkloof, die het mooiste uitzicht op de Rijn biedt, en stop in het charmante wijnstadje Rüdesheim. Geniet van begeleide sightseeing in Würzburg, Volkach, Bamberg, Neurenberg en Regensburg, en bevaar het Main-Donaukanaal, dat de rivieren Main en Donau verbindt. Je eerste stop in Oostenrijk is het lieflijke stadje Melk. Bezoek de prachtige Benedictijner abdij, en vaar dan door de schilderachtige Wachau vallei. Je plaatselijke experts laten je ook kennismaken met twee hoofdsteden: Wenen, Oostenrijk, ook bekend als "De Stad van Muziek" omdat ze het creatieve genie van Mozart, Beethoven en Strauss inspireerde; en het levendige Boedapest, Hongarije, met zijn unieke energie en talloze must-see bezienswaardigheden. Dit is echt een riviercruise om nooit te vergeten!
