Uniworld River Cruises offers a great selection of Danube river cruises all year round. Whether you want to explore the Danube region in the Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter, there is a cruise for every season.
Danube river cruises offer you a wonderful chance to not only explore the region’s long and interesting history but also to indulge in Europe’s finest scenery; passing castles, cathedrals and gorges, with calls to pretty villages. Napoleon is said to have described the Danube as ‘the Queen of Europe’s rivers’, which is hardly surprising if you consider that it passes through 10 countries and 18 territories!
Magnificent cities lie along the banks of the Danube including four capitals – Budapest, Vienna, Bratislava and Belgrade.
Uniworld River Cruises offers a great selection of Danube river cruises all year round. Whether you want to explore the Danube region in the Spring, Summer, Autumn or Winter, there is a cruise for every season.
Our Uniworld itineraries such as the Delightful Danube cruise showcase the Danube region from seven to 15 days. Most moorings are very close to the main sights, so you can hop off and walk into the cities.
For us, there are many unforgettable moments while sailing along the Danube. At night for example, stunningly lit waterfronts are a memorable feature of the Danube. Budapest with its grand palaces bathing in a golden glow is a cruise memory to treasure. One of the Uniworld cruises which starts from Budapest is the Enchanting Danube cruise.
While exploring Vienna, we also recommend visiting the Spanish Riding School to see the Lipizzaner horses. And most importantly, don’t forget to eat a slice of the famous Sacher Torte – an Austrian chocolate delight! The Authentic Danube cruise will introduce you to Vienna and its incredible architecture, culture and local cuisine.
As the Danube meanders through the Wachau Valley, savour the Unesco-listed cultural landscape of green hills, dotted with red-roofed houses, and the Benedictine Abbey that rises high above the town of Melk. Uniworld can supply bikes for a guided 32km tour, mainly on the flat, from Melk to Dürnstein for a more immersive experience. This is the real highlight of any Danube River Cruise.

About Christine Foulds
I’m originally from Germany and traveling has always been a part of my family’s DNA. Over the past 20 years, I’ve lived and worked in 5 different countries (USA, Austria, Russia, Peru and the UK) and learnt to speak 3 foreign languages (Russian and Spanish are getting a bit rusty though). I thoroughly enjoy working with travel enthusiasts who like to explore and visit new parts of the world as much as I do.
