Uncover the wonders of the Danube River in true 5-star style

Enchanting, intoxicating, and extraordinary. Each of these are apt descriptives for the Danube River: a natural wonder that weaves in and out of 10 countries like a precious thread.

And yet, it’s not just the river system worth talking about, as you discover on an all-inclusive ultra-luxury Scenic cruise.

From architectural splendour in Budapest to the musical heritage of Vienna, vine-clad hills of Dürnstein and medieval core of Regensburg – home to 900+ UNESCO listed buildings – the Danube is a superhighway through many of Europe’s greatest sights.

The 13-day ‘Danube in Depth’ itinerary from Scenic encompasses all of the above and more.

Naturally, your ultra-luxury 5-Star Scenic Space-Ship – is the signature element of the journey.

Think refined decor and butler service with very suite, all-inclusive indulgence with up to five on board dining experiences, and complimentary premium beverages⁺ all day, every day.

Return airport transfers in Europe, all tipping and gratuities, access to the gym and Salt Therapy Lounge are also part of the package, making Scenic the ultimate way to travel.

Couple this with the choice of a spacious Standard Suite, or Balcony Suite featuring a Scenic Sun Lounge that seamlessly links you to the outside, and you have 2025’s greatest escape.

In addition to three overnight stays in port, a wide range of all-inclusive Scenic Freechoice activities allow you to personalise and make the itinerary your own, while a ScenicEnrich Event – a private classical concert at the opulent Palais Liechtenstein – is a true highlight.

Here’s what else awaits.

A full day excursion to Ceský Krumlov

If there was an award for ‘Most Captivating Town in Czech Republic’, Ceský Krumlov would win, with its cobbled streets in the shadow of a vibrant castle.

Home to some 13,000 people, it’s a UNESCO listed gem rich with heritage charm. 

E-biking along the banks of the Danube

Dürnstein is known for several things: very-drinkable Riesling, the ruined rock castle high on the hill above, and stunning views at every turn.

A guided e-bike ride is your ticket to experience all this quaint village has to offer.

A walking tour through the heart of Regensburg 

Though best known as the best-preserved medieval city in Germany, Regensburg also has the highest concentration of bars in the country.

Which is the finest? You’ll find out on a walking tour of the Old Town, while also taking in the highly-detailed 13th century stained glass windows of The Cathedral of St Peter.

An in-depth exploration of Budapest

Buda and Pest: two districts separated by the Danube, which together form the city of Budapest.

A coach and walking tour of the city will showcase both sides in detail, followed by a visit to the Institute for the Blind for a mesmerising Piano Recital.

Enjoy a classical concert at Palais Liechtenstein

Exclusive to Scenic is this private classical Viennese concert at the majestic Palais Liechtenstein.

Featuring the timeless sounds of Strauss and Mozart, it’s one you won’t find anywhere else, and just one of many reasons why Scenic is in a class of its own.

4-day city stay in Prague

When booking the Scenic ‘Danube in Depth’ cruise, you can also extend with a four-day city stay in Prague.

Guests can uncover the city’s secrets on a locally guided tour, including exploring the seat of Czech rulers and taking in the extraordinary city views at Prague Castle, and visiting the Old Town Hall where you can hear the 14th-century Astronomical Clock chime.

This bonus offer includes accommodation, included activities and select meals.
