Itinerary
Vienna, Austria
Following your flight, you will be transferred to the ship.
The capital of Austria is one of those cities that every traveler should have visited once in the course of his life. Hardly any other city in the world has to offer such an enchanting combination of magnificent architecture, world-famous museums and theaters and beautiful green spaces. No wonder, the entire city center of Vienna is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Vienna is known worldwide for its palaces of emperors, kings and nobles, such as Schönbrunn Palace, the Belvedere and the Hofburg. But the city’s many churches, especially the landmark St. Stephen’s Cathedral, are also worth a visit. Museum visitors come at the numerous world-class museums in the city, such as the Albertina, the Museum of Art History and the Museum Leopold anyway fully at their expense..
Budapest, Hungary
“Pearl of the Danube” or “Paris of the East”? One thing is certain, Budapest has a lot to offer! From afar, the Parliament building on the banks of the river greets you and lets the Hungarian capital shine in its old splendor. The imposing Chain Bridge invites you to explore the districts of Buda and Pest, which are adorned with Art Nouveau buildings, wide avenues and thermal baths steeped in history. After a piece of the famous Baumkuchen, the breathtaking view from the Castle Hill with its Castle Palace and the impressive Fishermen’s Bastion can be enjoyed even better.
Bratislava, Slovakia
The capital of Slovakia is located on the border with Austria and Hungary. It is home to about 450,000 people. The old town of Bratislava dates back to the 18th century and is a great place to stroll around thanks to its car-free zone. The cafés and bars there serve the city’s famous dark beer. Bratislava’s landmark – the Bratislava Castle – is located on a hill. From its terrace you have the best view of the city and the Danube.
Vienna, Austria
Vienna, Austria’s capital, lies in the country’s east on the Danube River. Its artistic and intellectual legacy was shaped by residents including Mozart, Beethoven and Sigmund Freud. The city is also known for its Imperial palaces, including Schönbrunn, the Habsburgs’ summer residence. In the MuseumsQuartier district, historic and contemporary buildings display works by Egon Schiele, Gustav Klimt and other artists.
Vienna, Austria
Disembarkation takes place after breakfast. You will be transferred to the airport for your flight to Ireland.
