Cruise through through Austria, Germany, Hungary, and Slovakia on a luxury cruise down the Danube

The River Danube flows for thousands of miles through the very heart of Europe, silent witness to centuries of artistic achievement and historic events. Originating in Germany's Black Forest, it winds through or along the border of nine other countries.

You will visit four of those nations on this exclusive luxury river cruise which will take you down the mighty Danube through the glorious Wachau Valley. On board Uniworld's ultra-luxury Super Ship Maria Theresa, you'll enjoy a truly remarkable and indulgent voyage featuring world-class cuisine, exquisite service and care-free, effortless travel.

A river cruise offers incredible scenery right outside your window, with your view constantly changing around you. There's no better way to enjoy the heart of countries than silently passing through onboard your floating boutique hotel.
