AROSA
Passau to Passau - 4 night Danube Cruise
In the Schlögener Loop, the Danube makes two spectacular U-turns before finally deciding to take the most beautiful route to Vienna: through the narrow Wachau valley, where castle ruins and icing-sugar monasteries peep out from terraced vineyards and apricot orchards. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the home of great wines and beguilingly beautiful You'll be spoilws for choice in Vienna. there's just so much tp see: historical buildings and museums, naturally, but also unexpected delights like a cafe that sells furniture, crazy second hand shops and a tiny basement ehere you can listen to someof the finest jazz music. Linz will capture you with exciting stylistic contrasts, from Baroque to contemporary. Alone, the Lentos Art Museum, which features works from the 20th and 21st centuries, and the Ars Electronica Center, with its high-tech exhibits, will keep you busy for hours.
DAY 1:Engelhartszell (Passau) (Embarkation)
Where the Danube, Inn and Ilz rivers meet, pretty Passau is the well-located starting point for your Danube journey. Arrive a day or two before your river cruise, and spend some time getting to know the impressive Altstadt (Old Town) complete with magnificently grand buildings reflecting the city's colourful history. Our partner hotels are the perfect base for a pre-cruise stay, and will ensure you're relaxed and ready to enjoy the rest of your trip.
DAY 2: Vienna
As scenic sailing goes, the picture-perfect stretch of Danube river valley between Melk and Krems is pretty hard to beat. Famed for its cute towns dotting verdant landscapes dipping into the River Danube, the Wachau Valley is best enjoyed from the Sun Deck or balcony of your A-ROSA ship. We'll pass through the Wachau Valley in the morning, so put down the book, grab a coffee, and let the scenery unfurl in front of you...
There is simply nowhere like Vienna. Rich in culture, gastronomy and good looks, this grand city is wonderful at any time of year. Picture Baroque palaces, enormous beautifully-tended gardens hidden behind unassuming facades, the grandest of coffee houses where you can practically sense the historic figures of yesteryear putting their heads together. From Freud to Klimt, Beethoven to Strauss, this intellectual and musical juggernaut will undoubtedly be one of the highlights of your Danube cruise. And that's without even mentioning the famous Sachertorte...
DAY 3: Bratislava
Squeezed snugly between Austria and Hungary, Slovakia's capital Bratislava may be compact, but it packs a punch in history, culture and striking looks. With a location that has carved it out as an ethnic melting pot since ancient times, you can expect to see the influence play out in every corner of the city. Picture a medieval and Gothic old town alive with the sound of different languages and nationalities, grand baroque palaces built by Hungarian nobility and communist-era blocks and unique futuristic bridge reflecting its more recent past. Travel outside of the city, along the banks of the River Danube, and you'll also find the surrounding area is naturally blessed too. Rolling away to the north of Bratislava, you'll discover the excellent vineyards of the Small Carpathians waiting to be discovered.

Valley from above.
