Cruise Description 7 Night Cruise sailing from Passau roundtrip aboard Viktoria.

The Danube is a river of superlatives – this also applies to the sights on its shores! Discover in comfort on board our modern MS VIKTORIA the cosmopolitan city of Vienna, its "twin city" Bratislava and the double-faced Budapest, not by chance called the "Queen of the Danube". The special thing about this particular route: While many other one-week Danube trips return back to Budapest, your cruise takes you through the untouched Pustza Valley countryside in the south of Hungary and onto Mohacs. From Mohacs, you can visit the Mediterranean city of Pecs, which was quite rightly named the Capital of Culture.

Highlights of this cruise:

Passau
Passau is a town in Lower Bavaria, Germany. It is also known as the Dreiflussestadt or "City of Three Rivers," because the Danube is joined at Passau by the Inn from the south and the Ilz from the north. Tourism in Passau focuses mainly on the three rivers, the St. Stephen's Cathedral and the "Old City". With 17,774 pipes and 233 registers, the organ is the second largest in the world. Organ concerts are held daily between May and September. Passau is also known for its gothic and baroque architecture. The town is dominated by the Veste Oberhaus and the former fortress of the Bishop, on the mountain crest between the Danube and the Ilz rivers. Right beside the town hall is the Scharfrichterhaus, an important jazz and cabaret stage on which political cabaret is performed.

Vienna, Austria
Vienna is a unique blend of the historic and the modern with a wealth of architecture and artistic and musical heritage. Many of the world’s most important composers, including Beethoven and Mozart, have lived and performed behind Vienna’s Baroque facades. In addition to this Baroque splendor, there are excellent examples of Art Nouveau architecture .

Esztergom, Hungary
Esztergom is a city in northern Hungary, 46 km north-west of the capital Budapest. It lies in Komarom-Esztergom county, on the right bank of the river Danube, which forms the border with Slovakia. Esztergom played an important role in the establishment of the Hungarian state 1000 years ago. As a royal seat for two centuries and as a center for the Roman Catholic religion for 1000 years it abounds Esztergom historic and cultural sights.

Mohacs
Mohacs is a town in Baranya county, Hungary on the right bank of the Danube, 115 miles south of Budapest. Some of the interesting sights of the town include the Grand Church; Historic Memorial Place of Mohacs and the Kanizsai Dorottya Museum. There are also several valuable baroque ecclesiastical buildings in the town.

Budapest, Hungary
Budapest is the capital of Hungary. As the largest city of Hungary, it is the country's principal political, cultural, commercial, industrial, and transportation centre. Cited as one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, its extensive World Heritage Sites includes the banks of the Danube, the Buda Castle Quarter, Andrassy Avenue, Heroes' Square and the Millennium Underground Railway, the second oldest in the world. Other highlights include a total of 80 geothermal springs, the world's largest thermal water cave system, second largest synagogue, and third largest Parliament building.

Bratislava
Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia and the country's largest city. Bratislava is in southwestern Slovakia on both banks of the Danube River. Bratislava has a very pleasant medieval inner city with narrow, winding streets, a hill-top castle next to the river Danube, and many historic churches and buildings to visit. The old town is centered on two squares, Hlavne namestie (main square) and Hviezdoslavovo namestie (Hviezdoslav square, named after a famous Slovak poet).

Attractions in Bratislava include the castle which currently hosts temporary historical exhibitions and from whose ramparts you can see nearby Hungary, Austria and the Danube valley. Also visit one of the city's excellent galleries, for instance the Bratislava City Gallery at the Pallfy Palace, to experience Matej Kren's unique "Passage" installation.
