- Day 1RegensburgFri, Dec 18, 2026
Having escaped major damage during World War II, the picturesque town of Regensburg is one of Europe's best-preserved medieval cities, the oldest city along the Danube and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Old Stone Bridge, constructed in the 12th century, is a masterpiece of medieval engineering with its 16 arches. St. Peter's Cathedral is widely considered Bavaria's best Gothic architectural work. The old town's Neupfarrplatz square is a cross section of history-it was once a thriving Jewish quarter, a bustling marketplace and the site of Nazi book burnings.

Journey 18 miles through this vast UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the river courses through idyllic countryside hamlets.

- Day 5ViennaTue, Dec 22, 2026
Renowned as the "City of Waltzes,” Austria's capital city of Vienna is Europe's center of classical music. Strauss and Mozart composed many of their finest pieces here. Vienna's musical history is matched by the elegant, graceful architecture that lines the Ringstrasse, the wide boulevard encircling the Inner City. Baroque, neo-Renaissance, Gothic-Romanesque and other splendidly styled structures, from the Hofburg Palace to the Vienna State Opera, take the breath away with their grand facades. Vienna has a more intimate side too: inviting footpaths lead through green parks and its famed Viennese cafés sweeten any stay with coffee and the city's delectable Sachertorte.
- Day 6ViennaWed, Dec 23, 2026
Streets lined with Baroque facades and grand imperial palaces are a legacy of the wealthy Hapsburg monarchy. The Hofburg Palace complex is home to the world-famous Vienna Boys' Choir and elegant Lipizzaner stallions that perform at the Spanish Riding School, as well as numerous museums that play host to grand masterpieces. Behind the Hofburg, the lively MuseumsQuartiers showcases Austrian art in the former imperial stables, and the city's musical heritage can be enjoyed at incredible venues across the city, from the Staatsoper to the acoustically renowned Musikverein.

We experienced a wonderful journey along the Danube river (from Budapest to Regensburg). Our room was very clean and all the programs was exactly as they were explained.
Viking is the right luxury level for us.
The Viking experience is wonderful! They provide first class service - this includes check in, excursions, dining, housekeeping, maintenance issues, etc. This was our 2nd Viking River Cruise and it too exceeded our expectations.
This was my 2nd trip with Viking. As before, everything was perfect ---food, service and accommodations were outstanding.
Sadly, I am one person that is bothered by exhaust fumes. The fumes were noticable each time we sistered up to another boat, which was often.
We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. Shannon's help changing the return flights made a big difference.
The staff on this river cruise were excellent and very helpful. The travel arraignments very also very organized and helpful, This was the first time I planned a vacation without going with a group and I was well pleased.
Viking River Cruises is first class. We had an excellent experience as first time river cruisers. The tour guides were the most knowledgeable and professional in their area of expertise. They were also entertaining! We have only positive things to say about our cruise!!
I was thoroughly happy with my trip and booking thru Affordable Tours.
