10 Day Imperial Danube River Cruise Vienna to Prague

Welcome aboard the Imperial Danube River Cruise & Prague, an eight-day journey that brings together the splendour of Central Europe’s most celebrated cities with the timeless pleasure of elegant river cruising. Your adventure begins on the legendary Danube, sailing from imperial Vienna toward the historic Bavarian city of Nuremberg. Along the way, you’ll drift past rolling vineyards, storybook villages and scenic riverbanks that have inspired artists and poets for centuries. Each day offers a new opportunity to step ashore for guided sightseeing, uncovering grand palaces, atmospheric old towns and centuries of culture shaped by emperors, musicians and medieval merchants.

Life onboard is equally rewarding, with comfortable accommodations, panoramic views from the deck and the gentle pace of river travel allowing you to unwind as Europe unfolds around you.

Following your cruise, the journey continues to the enchanting city of Prague, where Gothic spires, Baroque façades and cobblestone streets create a backdrop straight from a fairy-tale. You’ll have the freedom to explore the Czech capital at your own pace—whether you’re wandering across the iconic Charles Bridge, admiring Prague Castle, or lingering in the lively Old Town Square as the Astronomical Clock strikes the hour.

From majestic imperial capitals to tranquil river scenes and the charm of one of Europe’s most captivating cities, this itinerary strikes the perfect balance between discovery and relaxation. Expect enriching guided tours, seamless travel, modern comforts and memorable moments throughout a journey designed to immerse you in the best of the Danube and the magic of Prague.
