Europe's second longest river

Explore on a stylish, contemporary A-ROSA river cruiser. Sail through Germany, Austria, Hungary and Slovakia, visiting some beautiful cities and enjoying the casual elegance of life on board.

The A-ROSA Premium Inclusive experience is designed to make river cruising as relaxed and enjoyable as possible. Gourmet buffet dining with live cooking stations, cocktails in the lounge bar and fine-weather barbecues on the sun-soaked top deck, fun things to do on board and ashore, and a lively, friendly atmosphere, mean you'll soon feel right at home.

Immerse yourself in the Danube's history and culture as you spend two days in stunning Vienna, see Hungary's largest church and tallest building – the dome-capped Basilica in Esztergom – and pass another two days exploring the historic capital of Hungary, Budapest. Enjoy a day in Bratislava, Slovakia, before sailing back past Vienna overnight to spend a morning cruising though the glorious scenery of the Wachau Valley to Melk.

Braised Beef Esterhazy – Braised sirloin with a savoury-sweet sauce of sour cream, onions and vegetables

Your Itinerary

View a full breakdown of your holiday to help you plan your trip

Day One – Join A-ROSA in Austria

Travel to Engelhartszell near Passau, where you'll begin your A-ROSA Danube cruise. Settle in to your cabin and explore the ship, ready for departure in the early evening.
Day Two – Vienna, Austria

After a lovely morning meandering down the Danube, you'll arrive in the Austrian capital, Vienna, around lunchtime. This bustling cultural and economic centre will be brought to life by an included city tour. Discover why it is known as the 'City of Music', and explore streets and squares lined with a wonderful blend of classical and more modern architecture. Or simply explore or relax at your leisure.
Day Three – Vienna, Austria

Spend another day exploring Vienna's endless sights and landmarks. Sample the local Gruner Veltliner wines, chat with new friends and locals in an authentic Viennese cafe or soak up the culture in a few of Vienna's 100-plus art galleries and museums. A visit to the 1000-room Schonbrunn Palace is a must, for it's where a young Mozart first enthralled astonished listeners with his extraordinary musical prowess. After a wonderful two days, A-ROSA DONNA sets sail again in the early evening, heading east into Hungary.

The local A-ROSA Destination scout will be on hand to help you make the most of your time in Vienna and Budapest.
Day Four – Esztergom and Budapest, Hungary

A lively day of exploration lies ahead. Arrive early at small but historic Esztergom, one of the oldest towns in Hungary. Visit the impressive Esztergom Basilica, which dominates the town skyline, and then return to the ship in time to depart before lunchtime.

In the mid afternoon you'll arrive in beautiful Budapest. Stroll through the streets on an included city tour, take in the neo-Gothic architecture, perhaps visit the newly reopened Museum of Fine Arts, which holds one of the most extensive collections of European art in the world, or just relax in a quaint cafe or bar.
Day Five – Budapest, Hungary

Enjoy a second day in Budapest, perhaps continuing to explore the city's many cultural attractions. With so many museums and galleries, fashionable stores and restaurants on offer, your biggest chore will be deciding which to choose. The ship leaves at mid-afternoon to begin the long, relaxed cruise back up the Danube.
Day Six – Bratislava, Slovakia

Arrive in Slovakia’s capital city, Bratislava in the morning and enjoy an included guided walking tour of the medieval old town - a joy to explore, with cobbled streets, maze-like alleyways, boutiques and cafes. Returning to the ship, enjoy a speciality dinner on board tonight.
Day Seven – Melk, Austria

We'll have a brief stop in the quaint town of Krems this morning. You can choose to take an optional tour here with time in Krems, Durnstein and finishing at the pastel-painted Benedictine Melk Abbey. If you’d prefer to stay on board, enjoy cruising the Wachau Valley, a picture-perfect stretch of Danube river valley flanked by vineyards and fairy-tale villages. We offer the chance to take a bike and cycle the route too. Whether you’ve toured, cruised or cycled, we rejoin the ship back at Melk Abbey this afternoon.
Day Eight – Travel back to the UK

You'll arrive back in Passau early this morning. Disembark A-ROSA DONNA to begin your journey home.
