In this specially designed Traveller Tour in association with the Daily Telegraph, UK, you will enjoy an 11-day adventure through five countries and four of Europe’s most alluring capitals. You’ll start with the Czech capital, Prague, where you’ll enjoy a three-night stay in a luxury hotel and a guided city tour.
You will then travel by luxury coach to Germany to explore the medieval Bavarian city of Nuremberg where you will board your five-star Scenic Space-Ship to begin your all-inclusive Danube cruise. After discovering Nuremberg’s fascinating World War II history, you will sail to Regensburg, home to one of the world’s oldest monastic breweries. From Passau, you will have the choice of visiting the medieval Czech city of Cesky Krumlov or heading to Salzburg, the birthplace of Mozart.
You can take in a gourmet tour of the Wachau Valley or visit Melk’s magnificent 18th-century Benedictine abbey, before arriving in Vienna. Here, Darcey Bussell, who has performed with the Australian Ballet and who has Australian family connections, will join you at the Palais Liechtenstein as she hosts an exclusive evening of dance. She will then join you as you sail to Budapest, Hungary, where you can explore the capital, journey to the nearby artistic district of Szentendre or hike to Buda Hill for views over the Danube.
Back on board your Scenic Space-Ship, complete with butler service and wellness area, Darcey will share insights on her life and career in an interview with a leading dance critic before joining you at an exclusive cocktail party on the sundeck for an evening city cruise.
