| Day 1 | BELGRADE Embarkation at the river port from 16:00. Accommodation in cabins. Welcome cocktail. Dinner and overnight on board. Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, is a city with a rich historical and cultural heritage, combining influences from different eras and civilizations. Among its main tourist attractions is the Temple of Saint Sava, the largest Orthodox church in the Balkans. Near this temple is the Nikola Tesla Museum, dedicated to the life and work of the scientist. Another key site is the Kalemegdan Fortress, whose origins date back to the 3rd century BC. Republic Square, dominated by the National Museum, the National Theatre, and the equestrian statue of Prince Mihailo, is considered the heart of Belgrade. |

| Day 2 | NOVI SAD / ILOK Full board on board. Novi Sad, the second largest city in Serbia, is a prominent tourist destination known for its rich history, vibrant cultural scene, and delicious cuisine, all set along the strategic banks of the Danube River. One of its main attractions is the Petrovaradin Fortress, an imposing 18th-century structure offering stunning panoramic views of the city and the river. The heart of the city is Liberty Square (Svetozar Miletic Square), a central area featuring Baroque architecture and an active Catholic cathedral noted for its impressive façade and decorated interior. Near the square is the Church of the Virgin Mary, a beautiful 18th-century Gothic-style building, as well as the Bishop’s Palace, considered one of the most unique buildings in the city. Dunavska Street, a picturesque pedestrian avenue, is perfect for strolling, shopping, and trying traditional Serbian dishes such as cevapi or burek. Our guided tour will provide a comprehensive exploration of this vibrant city. Later in the afternoon, we will dock in the Croatian town of Ilok, where border controls will take place. Overnight on board. |
|
| Day 3 | KALOSCA Full board on board. After lunch, we will arrive in Kalocsa, one of the oldest cities in Hungary, founded by King Stephen in the year 1001. This Hungarian town is renowned as the world capital of paprika, a title that reflects its importance in the production and processing of this spice, known as the “red gold.” The city is also famous for its vibrant folk embroidery and floral-decorated porcelain. Among its main tourist attractions is the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity, a remarkable example of Italian Baroque architecture with an impressive stuccoed interior, considered one of the most beautiful churches in the country. Next to it, the Episcopal Palace, built in the 18th century, houses a library with over 150,000 volumes, including a Bible written by Martin Luther, and displays astronomical instruments and medieval maps in its ceremonial hall. Overnight on board. |
|
| Day 4 | BUDAPEST Full board on board. At sunrise, we will arrive in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, divided by the mighty Danube into two parts: the traditional “Buda” and the cosmopolitan “Pest.” The differences between Buda and Pest create an interesting contrast between the western and eastern banks. Hilly Buda, on the west, is characterized by narrow cobblestone streets where medieval and neoclassical buildings mix, all fully rebuilt after World War II. The flat city of Pest, on the east, consists of wide boulevards lined with Art Deco buildings. The city presents a blend of styles and influences — Turkish, Venetian, Imperial, and Art Nouveau — forming a unique and diverse mosaic of architecture. We will take a guided tour along the wide boulevards of the city to visit the famous Parliament, the Opera House, Heroes’ Square, the Market, the Chain Bridge, and the Fishermen’s Bastion, with its spectacular views over the city. Overnight on board. |
|
| Day 5 | BRATISLAVA Full board on board. Early in the afternoon, we will arrive in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Among the main points of interest is the Old Town (Staré Mesto), a colorful and charming historic center that houses numerous shops, restaurants, and monuments, though with higher prices than other areas of the city. In this area, highlights include the Main Square, the Old Town Hall, St. Martin’s Cathedral — a Gothic-style church with a history dating back to the 13th century — and the Blue Church (Modrý Kostol), built in the early 20th century and famous for its blue façade and glass roof. Bratislava Castle, located on a hill above the Danube River, is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Our guided tour will provide an exploration of this imperial city. In the evening, Captain’s Dinner. Overnight on board. |
|
| Day 6 | VIENNA Vienna showcases elegant architecture that reflects its long history as the seat of the Habsburg Empire and a global capital of music and opera. Palaces, the Parliament, theaters, opera houses, and other impressive buildings fill the city with Baroque, Classical, and Art Nouveau façades. After the demolition of its city walls in 1857 to create the Ringstrasse, Vienna’s architectural landscape was greatly enriched. Disembarkation after breakfast. End of our services. |
