About the trip

This four-night cruise begins and ends in Budapest, offering a taste of Central Europe's river cities from the comfort of Riviera Travel's MS Riviera Radiance. Passengers can explore Budapest's distinct districts — Buda's fairytale hills and Pest's energetic streets — with options for a panoramic coach ride or a walk through the castle district.

The journey follows the Danube north to Bratislava, Slovakia's compact capital where pastel buildings and cobblestone streets contrast with the modern city. A guided tour covers the old town and Bratislava Castle overlooking the river. A classical string quartet in the evening adds a cultured pause before heading to Vienna.

In Vienna, the itinerary includes a coach tour along the Ringstrasse and an optional walking tour of the old town. The city’s grand palaces and St Stephen's Cathedral offer landmarks that are well worth the visit. After lunch, the ship cruises back to Budapest. The cruise balances sightseeing with time aboard ship, avoiding any rush to tick sights off a list.
