A Journey That Changes with the Seasons.
From the energy of summer to the softer rhythms of fall and spring, this iconic journey on the Danube reveals something special in every season. Depending on when you sail, you may explore Austria’s cherished farming traditions with a visit to a vineyard or apricot orchard to discover culinary customs passed down through generations or be welcomed into a cider cellar in autumn where an expert sommelier unveils the secrets of Upper Austria’s beloved ciders. It’s the same iconic Danube – beautifully shaped by the season in which you experience it.
