Welcome to Munich, the largest city and capital of the German state of Bavaria. With a long and powerful heritage, the city dates back to the 11th century and over the centuries has been a witness to some important historical events. Munich's rich tapestry is woven with tales of royalty, scientific innovations, and cultural milestones.

Seamlessly blending modernity and history, Munich offers a captivating atmosphere. The city's unique character will become more evident during this morning's guided panoramic tour. Starting with a short drive to Schloss Nymphenburg, you'll explore the perfectly symmetrical lavish estate just outside the city, built as a royal summer residence.

Soak up the last of your free time in Munich before transferring to the city of Regensburg, one of the most picturesque cities in Germany. With over 2,000 years of history, this is the perfect location to start your eight-day ultra-luxury cruise along the enchanting Danube River.

Boasting a staggering 2,000 year history, Regensburg has one of Germany’s best preserved medieval town centres, with more than 900 of its Romanesque and Gothic buildings listed as World Heritage sites. Within its narrow laneways, the city lays claim to having the highest concentration of bars in the country.

Arrive in Passau early this morning. Set at the meeting point of three rivers and close to the border with Austria, it was an important trading point for centuries. It was also a significant town in the Holy Roman Empire and the charming Old Town was mostly built by powerful prince-bishops in an Italianate style.

This morning your Scenic Space-Ship will dock in the small town of Melk, tucked inside Austria’s picturesque Wachau Valley. The town is dominated by its dramatic, World Heritage-listed Benedictine Abbey, which towers above it from a rocky outcrop. Melk > Dürnstein is a published destination on Gems of the Danube with Munich: Munich to Budapest aboard Scenic Crystal.

Welcome to Vienna, the capital of Austria and a centre of art, music and culture. The city fostered the musical geniuses Mozart and Beethoven, and oozes charm with magnificent Baroque buildings, ample green spaces, a vibrant coffee-house scene, and masterpiece-filled galleries and museums.

Slovakia’s capital since independence in 1993, Bratislava is a modern multicultural metropolis with an intriguing history. Its Old Town is glorious with medieval and Gothic architecture. Its well-preserved hilltop castle, which dates back to the ninth century, still dominates the town. These charming historic sites contrast with its brutalist socialist architecture, which is evident around the city.

Arrive in Budapest early this morning, the capital of Hungary and one of Europe’s most diverse and vibrant cities. Divided by the Danube, with Buda on one side and Pest on the other, this city became united in 1873 when a newly built bridge connected the two.

Your journey concludes this morning. After one final breakfast on board, depart with a lifetime of memories.
