Day 1
Embarkation in Vienna from 4 p.m. When you have found your way round your floating hotel our cruise managers invite you to take a welcome cocktail in the Panorama bar before our special welcome dinner. After dinner you can listen to a Christmas concert in the Panorama bar. At 11.00 p.m. the ship casts off upstream in the direction of the Wachau.

Day 2
In the morning the ship reaches Dürnstein, the world famous little town in the Wachau, where you have an opportunity to join the optional Wachau excursion with Gluehwein party.  Day on leisure on board.
After an excellent Christmas dinner you may attend Christmas mass in Dürnstein’s collegiate church.  In the meantime the ship continues to Melk/Emmersdorf where the passengers re-embark.

Day 3
Enjoy the first of the Christmas public holidays on board . At around 3.30 p.m. in the afternoon you reach the well known Bavarian city of Passau that lies at the confluence of three rivers (the Danube, the Inn and the Ilz).  You may join the Passau city walk to get to know the sights of the charming miniature city. The ship leaves Passau at about 5.30 p.m. 

Day 4
We reach our next destination, Regensburg, at 9.00 a.m.  This city captivates all its visitors with its mass of about 1,400 historical buildings, forming one of the best preserved medieval cities in the whole of Germany.  The most important of Regensburg’s sights can be seen in the course of a guided tour on foot. The ship leaves the city at 6.00 p.m., soon after its marvellous evening illuminations have lit it all up, and the cruise is continued on the Main/Danube canal heading for Nuremberg. Captain's Gala Dinner with crewshow.

Day 5
Enjoy a substantial breakfast and spend your  morning on board before your ship ties up in Nuremberg at around 1 p.m. Nuremberg is a city with a long history and the sightseeing tour in the afternoon provides an opportunity to obtain an impression of the city’s cultural and historical importance.
