Day 4
Krems, Austria
You'll want to find a comfortable seat in the lounge or on the Sun Deck this afternoon as your ship cruises through the Wachau Valley. Over the eons, the Danube cut a gorge through the foothills of the Bohemian mountains, resulting in a 19-mile (30-kilometer) stretch of beautiful riverine scenery. Castle ruins dominate hilltops; Baroque church towers appear on the riverbanks, marking historic villages and splendid abbeys; and apricot orchards and vineyards cling to the rocky slopes. Some of Austria's finest white wines are produced from grapes ripening on the dry-stone terraces above the river, where grapes have been grown for 2,000 years. Your ship will dock in Krems, midway through this glorious landscape. ... Read More

Your first German port of call is Passau, where three rivers meet-the Inn, the Ilz, and the Danube-and three nations almost meet: Austria, Germany, and the Czech Republic, making for a fascinating cultural mosaic. Get to know the town and its main claim to fame, Europe's largest pipe organ, or join an invigorating riverside bike ride. ... Read More
