Cruise Description There’s still time to make this a Christmas to remember with a festive journey along the dazzling Danube! Embark in Vienna, the “City of Music,” then cruise in pampered luxury to Krems for a special holiday visit to the Kittenberger Adventure Gardens. With each stop, experience the Advent specialties and jolly atmosphere of the Christmas Markets, both big and small. You won’t want to miss a taste of the world-famous cake in Linz or time in the alpine jewel of Salzburg with its connections to Mozart, “The Sound of Music” movie, and some of Europe’s most breathtakingly beautiful Christmas Markets. Christmas Eve and Day are in Germany, where three rivers converge in Passau.

VIENNA, AUSTRIA
This is the city of classical music. It’s Mozart and Strauss. It's street art on a sandy beach and fun in the countryside. It’s bohemia and bourgeoisie and the finest baroque. And of course Art Nouveau. It’s bad-tempered waiters in great coffee houses. It’s Sigmund Freud and Gustav Klimt and Adolf Loos and Friedensreich Hundertwasser and Sisi and many others. It is the Spanish Riding School, an event for horse lovers. And of course it is the city of Schmah (jokes anyone?) and scandals, on which the Viennese feast like cows on fresh grass on the alpine pasture. Last but not least: Vienna is the city on the Danube. Although it was not always so. The Viennese Danube river front is an artificial structure which was only created in the 19th century. Before that, the Danube flowed past Vienna in many arms through floodplains and uninhabited areas. Today, the Riverside can also dock right in front of the city. And then it starts. Marvel, wonder and rejoice. Vienna is a dream.

KREMS, AUSTRIA
Krems has much to offer; museums, historical buildings like churches and abbeys, shopping and restaurants and most of all wine. Krems is surrounded by vineyards and they produce some of the best quality wines of Austria.

MAUTHAUSEN, AUSTRIA
Visit Mauthausen concentration camp - a place of memory and a site of political and historical education or explore the Austrian countryside with a visit to Steyr or St. Florian.

LINZ, AUSTRIA
Austria’s third largest city and famous for its baroque styled Main Square, beautiful old town center, great shopping, the Schloss Museum and the Mariendom which can hold 20.000 worshippers.

ENGELHARTSZELL, AUSTRIA
Not even 1000 souls call Engelhartszell home. Best known for the abby and the newly opened Schütz Art Museum.

PASSAU, GERMANY
The city sits at the confluence of three rivers and had therefore military importance. The fortress Veste Oberhaus now houses the museum and the Dom features a great organ.
