River Cruise Itinerary

The great Danube River, once the lifeblood of empires, has been home to Europe’s greatest cities for eons. Join us on a journey spanning the four capital cities that sit along the banks of the Danube—glittering Vienna, charming Bratislava, eclectic Budapest, and storied Belgrade. As we go, we’ll contrast the hustle and bustle of city life with blissful countryside views and stops in a couple of our favorite towns in between.

  1. Day 1
    Vienna (Embark)
    Sun, Aug 02, 2026
    Transfer from Vienna International Airport to your ship. If your cruise/tour package includes a group arrival transfer or if you have purchased a private arrival transfer, you will be greeted by a Uniworld representative and transferred to the ship.
    Meals: Dinner
  2. Day 2
    Vienna
    Mon, Aug 03, 2026
    The grand dame of the Danube, Vienna was the heart of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and remains, to this day, the political and cultural center of Austria. Klimt painted here; Beethoven and Mozart composed here; Freud developed his theories here. It’s a treasure trove of splendid architecture, astonishing art collections, and inviting cafés—and today it is yours to explore.
    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
  3. Day 3
    Bratislava
    Tue, Aug 04, 2026
    Once hidden from the world behind the “Iron Curtain,” Slovakia retains an air of mystery and intrigue, and its small capital city has an unexpectedly colorful history. The heart and soul of Slovakia, Bratislava is full of surprises. The city straddles the mighty Danube and has played a leading role in the politics and culture of the region for many centuries.
    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
  4. Day 4
    Budapest
    Wed, Aug 05, 2026
    Located on opposite sides of the Danube, Buda and Pest each have a distinctive character and allure. Explore this dynamic and multi-faceted city with your choice of excursions—you can see it from a local’s perspective on a walking tour or cover more ground with a panoramic tour.
    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
  5. Day 5
    Batina, Ilok
    Thu, Aug 06, 2026
    Welcome to Croatia! This ancient country, which has made a remarkable recovery from a brutal civil war, is noted for its beautiful countryside and thriving folk traditions, as well as simple, deliciously rustic food.
    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
  6. Day 6
    Novi Sad
    Fri, Aug 07, 2026
    Though not a national capital, Novi Sad is the capital of the autonomous province of Vojvodina, an ethnically diverse region with no less than 6 different official languages. Novi Sad is known for its easygoing atmosphere and thriving urban arts scene.
    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
  7. Day 7
    Belgrade
    Sat, Aug 08, 2026
    Belgrade, the modern-day capital of Serbia, is one of Europe’s oldest cities, dating back some 7,000 years. Signs of its tumultuous history are visible everywhere, juxtaposed with the city’s vibrant modern-day present.
    Meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
  8. Day 8
    Belgrade (Disembark)
    Sun, Aug 09, 2026
    Disembark the ship. If your cruise package includes a group departure transfer or if you purchased a private departure transfer, you will be transferred to Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport for your flight.

Weather was outstanding which made the trip truly enjoyable and memorable.

Cruising with Uniworld is a wonderful experience

We had a wonderful trip after Delta finally got us to Frankfurt. It’s a lovely ship with a superb crew.

Everything about the experience was excellent from the moment of boarding and receiving the solicitous attention of the staff, which continued from start to finish. Superb on-board service. The ship was wonderfully quiet and comfortable. The amenities were luxurious. Meals were tasty and filling. The onshore trips were excellent and varied, with high quality guides. Having buses to take us to places not otherwise accessible from the landing added a great deal. As a result, the itinerary was rich with history and beautiful places. I am looking forward to my next river cruise!

The only negative we have - some of the tour operators were hard to understand.

This was our 4th Uniworld cruise and each has been a memorable experience. Staff and menu are both important aspects of a cruise, and Uniworld excels in both areas. Decor of both public areas and cabins is unique and tasteful, adding a special flavor to the cruise experience. Our cruise director on the SS Catherine was exception in terms of knowledge and service.

The trip up the Rhone River more than met our expectations (except it rained more than we liked!). It was a marvelous trip that the eight of us (four couples) enjoyed very much,

Small group on ship. Great for meeting new people. Great friendly professional staff. Excellent food. Depending on destinations excursions are good. This was our second time with Uniworld. First was Italy. That was unbelievable.

I thoroughly enjoyed this river cruise along the Danube. Everything was as advertised. We were met at the airport and arrived early to our ship. The Uniworld staff was amazing! I definitely recommend this cruise.

Both my husband and I agree we'll never travel with another river cruise line, other than Uniworld. Our second vacation provided the same constant service as the first. The hospitality, comfort and beauty of the suite cabins, the food prepared, and all the rest simply cannot be matched. Our expectations were met with perfection!

Uniworld once again provided the exemplary experience we've come to expect. It was maybe not quite as high level as two previous Uniworld cruises but almost.

The staff on the Marie Teresa is outstanding.

Uniworld takes care of you! The bottom line is we had a great trip, in great part, because of the attention the staff on the boat paid to us and all the other passengers. Our day trip coordinator, went out of her way to help us with information and booking assistance for additional sights we wanted to see.

Uniworld takes care of you! The bottom line is we had a great trip, in great part, because of the attention the staff on the boat paid to us and all the other passengers.
