Imperial and ecclesiastical residences, artistic treasures and the Danube’s<br />

idyllic landscapes: Vilshofen (Passau) – Budapest<br />

A lecturer and his passion:<br />

art and architecture<br />

Almost every historical period has left its mark along<br />

the banks of the Danube. The main styles on display in<br />

Vienna and Budapest are baroque and Art Nouveau. Our<br />

on-board expert will talk about each region’s architectural<br />

style and artworks.<br />

Stunning Danube landscapes<br />

The RiveR <strong>Cloud</strong> ii offers guests a stunning 360-degree<br />

panoramic view of the river’s picturesque banks. The waters<br />

even appear to flow backwards at the Schlögen bend. The<br />

narrow valleys of the Struden and Nibelungen areas are<br />

magnificently beautiful. The Wachau, a UNESCO World<br />

Heritage Site, is a masterpiece composed of fruit trees,<br />

vineyards, castles and villages.<br />

A triad of cultural capitals<br />

It is not only the Danube that links the three capitals of<br />

Vienna, Budapest and Bratislava, but also their collective<br />

history as part of the Austro-Hungarian dual monarchy.<br />

Each century was marked by the erection of a multitude<br />

of monuments.<br />

Palais Liechtenstein<br />

The stately home of the Liechtenstein family is considered<br />

one of the first significant buildings of the Viennese highbaroque<br />

period. The palais is not open to the public, but<br />

we are able to offer our guests an exclusive look inside,<br />

taking you through all the stately baroque rooms, which<br />

feature original furnishings and artworks.<br />
