Vienna, the City of Music, is one cruise destination you’re not going to want to miss out on the chance to visit.

In fact, you’ll find an abundance of modern attractions and activities among the historic sites, interesting museums, and impressive monuments here. The Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna State Opera, and Otto-Wagner Pavilion are just a handful of examples of this. Vienna, though, is also known for its coffee culture and several culinary delights, from Wiener Schnitzel and Apfelstrudel to Knödel dumplings and Frankfurters. Fear not, though, for it’s also one of Europe’s most vegan-friendly cities, so everyone will find something delicious to enjoy while visiting – be that coffees and cakes, beers and sausages, or something else tasty. For those of you who want to take advantage of the welcoming weather this Central European capital enjoys, Vienna is home to several vibrant parks worth taking a stroll through.

A stunning sight to see from the circular Ringstrasse, and even more impressive from within, a guided tour of this opera house is a must if you don’t have time to attend an unforgettable show here.
Schönbrunn Palace
Once the primary summer residence for the Habsburg rulers, Schönbrunn Palace is undoubtedly one of the most important cultural, historic, and architectural monuments in Austria. A staggering 1,441-room Baroque palace with vast gardens home to a variety of unique sculptures and the Gloriette, tours of Schönbrunn Palace will afford you the opportunity to explore the south-facing reception rooms and State Apartments within alongside the private residences of former Austrian emperor Franz Joseph I. Opulent and overflowing with history, this is one experience you won’t want to miss.

A charming historic Hungarian town with a memorable vibrancy and a welcoming atmosphere, Kalocsa is a fantastic river cruise destination that caters to every type of traveller.
Things to do in Kalocsa, Hungary:
Kalocsai Nagyboldogasszony-főszékesegyház (Kalocsa Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary)
A striking Baroque-style Catholic cathedral standing tall in the heart of Kalocsa, the Cathedral of the Assumption we see today was completed in 1774 and the fourth iteration of the cathedral on this site. With the earliest structures here thought of to be built throughout the 12th century, at least, this cathedral is a striking reminder of Kalocsa’s importance as an ecclesiastical centre in the region. Painted yellow and white, this impressive structure boasts a rich history worth exploring and stands as one of the most iconic landmarks in this town.
Paprika Museum
If you want to know more about Kalocsa’s unique history with paprika, the mild spice made of ground dried peppers, this is the perfect place to do just that. Opened in 1977, the Paprika Museum explores the history of Hungarian paprika production alongside the process of making the spice itself; with elements of folk art adding to the experience, you may just come away from a visit here with more appreciation for paprika than you might think.

Belgrade, Serbia
DAY 6
02 Jan 2027
Time at Port: TBD
Once-capital of the now-dissolved Yugoslavia and current capital of Serbia, Belgrade is an intriguing city boasting a travel experience unlike anything else out there. Spread across the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers, the natural landscapes of this city are worth savouring. However, the stark contrasts of the cityscape really make this a captivating river cruise destination. Impressive Art Nouveau architecture stands side-by-side with monumental Socialist architecture to create a juxtaposing skyline highlighting this destination’s complicated history; the grandeur of Habsburg rule and the influence of the Ottoman Empire is clear, but so is this city’s role in establishing the Soviet Bloc throughout the Cold War. This, while making Belgrade a little odd to look at compared to major cities further west and away from the influence of the now-dissolved Soviet Union, makes this city utterly fascinating. You’ll find a host of interesting sites and sights to visit and see while here, something which compliments the lively atmosphere you’d expect from a European primate city – meaning it's the largest, most populous, and most economically important urban centre in Serbia. For history buffs, Belgrade is a gold mine, but there’s so much on offer here that every type of traveller will find something they enjoy when visiting.
Things to do in Belgrade, Serbia:
Church of Saint Sava
An impressive Serbian Orthodox church dedicated to the founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church and initially planned to be the main cathedral in the Church, the Church of Saint Sava is built on the presumed location of Saint Sava’s grave and designed to replicate the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. However, construction was started in 1935 and interrupted until permission to complete the building was given in 1984 – which explains its differences to the aforementioned mosque in Turkey. Standing well over 200 ft tall, with the main dome weighing a staggering 4,000 tonnes, this structure is breathtaking both inside and out – with interiors featuring impressive golden mosaics, with the central one of these depicting the Ascension of Jesus and Christ’s resurrection.
House of the National Assembly
Serbia’s House of the National Assembly is an imposing Neo-Baroque building with four floors, over 100 offices, a library containing over 60,000 books, and interiors featuring interesting frescoes among an impressive collection of fine artwork. Completed in 1937, this was used as the seat of the Parliament of Yugoslavia during its existence and remains a structure of historical, cultural, and artistic value to the Serbian people. In central Belgrade, and a stone’s throw from several parks, it’s a fantastic place to stop off while strolling through this unique city.
Novi Dvor
The seat of the President of Serbia and the former royal residence of the Karađorđević dynasty of Kingdom of Yugoslavia, Novi Dvor is an impressive palace opposite the (Stari Dvor (Belgrade City Hall) in central Belgrade. Designed to architecturally match the style of the pre-existing Stari Dvor, this building borrows Renaissance and Baroque architectural features to do this. With an interior completed by a French firm, who brought a stylish elegance to the palace which was uncommon at the time, Novi Dvor stands out as an interesting cultural site in Belgrade and beyond.
Belgrade Fortress
Located right at the point of confluence between the Danube and the Sava rivers, Belgrade Fortress is a defining feature of central Belgrade and an important defensive fortification for the city. With initial fortifications dating back to 279 BC, this landmark is also home to an abundance of history – not to mention the fact that it featured prominently in several significant battles from 1440 to 1806, throughout which the castle was reconstructed twice. While here, you’ll also find Veliki Kalemegdanski Park, and several museums, making this a real highlight of any sightseeing tour in Belgrade.
Mohacs, Hungary

With these famous battles at the forefront of Mohács’ history, the cultural experiences here are unique in their focus on the events of the first Battle of Mohács and the Second Battle of Mohács. In the Busóudvar cultural centre, and through the annual Busojaras Festival (if you’re fortunate enough to be visiting during celebrations in February), you’ll be able to learn more about the vibrant traditions of the Busójárás – who proved pivotal in the first Mohács battle. Beyond this, though, if history isn’t your cup of tea, you’ll find plenty of places to enjoy authentic local cuisine and scenic spots to sit and soak up the laid-back atmosphere here; there’s also plenty of picturesque riverside walking routes and hiking trails further afield to take advantage of. In lieu of an abundance of modern attractions, Mohács is a fantastic place to spend some time enjoying the scenic countryside of Eastern Europe. If you don’t mind travelling for a little while, the city of Pécs is around 45 km to the east of Mohács; here, you’ll find even more incredible cultural experiences, authentic cuisines, and interesting landmarks to explore.

Busóudvar
A cultural centre dedicated to the remarkable Busójárás festival, you’ll find a range of traditional masks and attires here alongside interesting insights into the history of this tradition, all of which offer a comprehensive look at the unique cultural heritage that is the Hungarian Busójárás.

With a ferry running across the Danube from Mohács, you’ll have no trouble getting to this scenic stretch of countryside – which is beside Mohácsi Strand, another great place to wander while the sun is shining.
