Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Vienna

    You'll arrive at Vienna International Airport where a Uniworld representative meets you and takes you directly to the S.S. Emilie. This is your home base for the next week, so take some time to settle into your cabin and get oriented with the ship. Depending on your arrival time, you might grab dinner onboard or explore the immediate area around the dock.

    Optional Activities

    • Private arrival transfer (if purchased separately)
  2. Day 2

    Vienna

    Spend your day in Vienna, the former heart of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. You'll definitely head to the Belvedere to see Klimt's work in the evening, which is included for everyone. Before that, you'll pick between two options: either the Imperial City Highlights tour that covers Hofburg Palace, or Mythos Mozart & Imperial City Highlights if you want the musical angle. Either way, you'll see significant historic sites throughout the day and have dinner onboard later.

  3. Day 3

    Bratislava

    The ship cruises to Bratislava, Slovakia's capital sitting right on the Danube. You've got two excursion choices to pick from. The Coronation Walking Tour includes a concert at the cathedral if that appeals to you, or you can go for a hike up to Bratislava Castle instead. After your chosen activity, you'll return to the ship for the evening.

  4. Day 4

    Budapest

    You're heading to Budapest, a city that really splits itself between Buda and Pest across the Danube. Choose between exploring Andrassy Avenue and the Szabo Ervin Library, or take the panoramic tour that includes time on Castle Hill. By evening you'll be back on the ship anchored in this vibrant city.

    Batina - Ilok

    The cruise brings you to Croatia's Danube region, where you'll visit Batina and Ilok. You can take an Osijek walking tour with a home-hosted lunch and visit to the Vucedol Museum, or choose the Syrmia Flora & Fauna excursion that features a farm lunch instead. The mix of cultural and natural options means you can tailor the day to your interests.

    Novi Sad

    Next stop is Novi Sad, which serves as the capital of Vojvodina in Serbia. You'll pick between a Traditional Serbia tour or the Frushka Gora & Novi Sad option. Both give you real insight into Serbian culture and the region's character in different ways. After your excursion, you'll return to the ship.

  7. Day 7

    Belgrade

    Belgrade awaits, one of Europe's oldest capitals with plenty of history layered throughout. You can take a city tour that covers the Royal Palace and Church of Saint Sava, or if you're feeling active, join the 'I Bike Belgrade' tour for a different perspective. After your morning or afternoon activity, you'll have evening time on the ship or to explore independently.

    Food was excellent at all times. Some excursions were better than others but majority of guides were great. At times, as in Vienna, docking was far and it made it difficult to get around.

    We highly recommend UniWorld cruises. The service and staff are impeccable, the daily tour offerings are well planned with knowledgeable tour guides, the meals well prepared and delicious, the accommodations clean and comfortable and the cost well worth paying a bit extra because the cruise is truly all inclusive. There are no hidden fees.
