Five Countries

The cruise starts in Prague. Ports of call include Passau, Melk, Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest. That’s five countries in all – the Czech Republic, Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary. Cycling is along the Donauradweg (or the easier to pronounce Danube bike path).

Highlights include all the oompah you could want at Oktoberfest in the Bavarian forest. The 1000-year-old Hoftaferne Neuburg Castle. A tour through the Wachau Valley vineyards. A visit to Vienna’s historic center. And a guided bike tour of Budapest.

Not bad. Not bad at all.
