The Blue Danube
A musical journey celebrating Europe’s finest composers with
Tauck
Budapest
Bratislava
Vienna
T
here are many river cruisers plying the
waterways of Europe, but Tauck, a specialist
touring company from North America with 90
years experience of organising unforgettable escorted
holidays, has refined the luxury river cruise experience
to a level few other companies can hope to match.
You only need to read some of the many post-trip
comments of their enthused guests to appreciate
that Tauck always goes past the usual sights to bring
exclusive access, carefully planned events and
privileged insights on its river journeys, whilst
delivering faultless service from friendly staff who are
genuinely motivated to deliver those special
surprises that have a lasting impression. All of this is
done for a one-off up-front cost, with virtually
everything included. Tauck also recognise that their
convivial cruises will appeal equally to solo travellers
and they operate a “no single supplement” on all
category 1 cabins for their European river cruises.
Cruising the Danube River takes on new meaning
when you join Tauck’s “maestros” to walk in the
footsteps of musical giants like Mozart, Beethoven,
Bartók, Schubert, Liszt, Strauss, Haydn and others on
a 12-day trip through the heart of Europe including a
7-night cruise aboard one of Tauck’s Inspiration Class
riverboats.
Explore Prague, Vienna, Salzburg, Bratislava,
Budapest and more, visiting homes these musical
greats lived and composed in, and concert halls and
palaces where they performed... enveloped by their
glorious music throughout a magical journey filled
with Tauck Exclusives!
Along with a Tauck Cruise Director and Tauck
Directors, the cruise is accompanied throughout by
Tauck’s “maestros.” Active music scholars and
performers, these maestros include current doctoral
recipients in music history who are passionate and
knowledgeable about European music and the
destinations to be visited. They will guide excursions
ashore and enrich the onboard experience with
interactive music workshops, seminars and
performances while cruising the Danube River.
