Europe's second longest river, the Danube, courses through ten nations en route to the Black Sea.

This itinerary follows its journey through some of the most romantic European landscapes. From the cobblestone streets of charming Passau head out into Austria, winding your way past enchanting monasteries and majestic castles. By boat cruise the Danube through Upper Austria to reach the romantic Austrian capital of Vienna, one of the most magical cities in Europe. Heading west, the pace slows down, with a memorable cycle across the Wachau Valley past rolling vineyards, hill top castles, meadows and forests to encounter atmospheric landscapes and sites of arresting history. Enjoy the atmosphere of life on board with like minded active travellers, sampling local culinary delights and relaxing atop the sundeck with splendid views of the changing scenery.

Highlights

  • Exploring the majestic city of Vienna and the three river town of Passau
  • Cycling through the stunning Wachau Valley and along the famous Danube bike path
  • Experiencing the timelessness of the Danube by boat and bike
  • Relaxing on board the comfortable barge, your home for the week

This trip involves 5 days cycling usually along paved cycle paths across generally flat terrain up to 50km/31mi in a day. It is almost exclusively on the Danube cycle path. In and out of the cities there will be some traffic.
