Trip overview
Embark on an exciting journey from Budapest to Regensburg aboard Emerald Cruises’ brand-new luxury ship, Emerald Astra. Sail through lush riverbanks and charming port cities as you explore four countries steeped in history and tradition.
Begin your adventure with a day in Budapest. See the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Andrassy Avenue and Buda Castle District on a guided tour of the city. Then, make your way to Bratislava, where idyllic castles and romantic terraces line the streets. Later, you’ll be welcomed into the home of a local family to share coffee, cake, and conversation, offering insight into Slovak traditions. The melodies of Strauss guide you to Vienna, Austria's opulent "City of Music." Hike up to the Durnstein Castle for panoramic views of Durnstein, rolling vineyards, and the meandering river. In Passau, see St. Stephen’s Cathedral, known for its baroque architecture, ornate interiors, and the largest cathedral organ in the world. Finally, before journey’s end, stroll through Regensburg’s medieval Old Town and enjoy a tasting of freshly grilled Bavarian sausage.
Onboard enjoy small-ship luxury, regionally inspired dishes, hand-crafted beverages, panoramic views and more.
