The view of Munich from the river

Munich - Nuremberg, Germany Tue 19 Oct 2027

The view of Munich from the river

Welcome to Germany and the ancient city of Nuremberg, the second largest centre in Bavaria, where your Danube journey begins.

This afternoon, board your luxurious Scenic Space-Ship and settle into your spacious suite. Join your fellow guests for a welcome reception and toast to the start of an exciting journey. You will remain docked in Nuremberg overnight, so you can also set out to explore the city after dark if you wish (D)

A panoramic view of Nuremberg

Nuremberg, Germany Wed 20 Oct 2027

A panoramic view of Nuremberg

Awake in Nuremberg today. The Old Town is protected by an ancient city wall and the city is dominated by one of the most significant imperial forts of the Holy Roman Empire, the 12th century Imperial Castle, which was the preferred residence of German kings.

Behind its charming façade, Nuremberg also has a turbulent history. During WWII, the city was favoured by the Nazis for party rallies and many of the anti-Jewish laws began here. By 1945, the city was reduced to rubble, including large sections of the Imperial Castle and Old Town. After the war, Nazi leaders were tried here for their war crimes.

This afternoon you will cruise towards Regensburg (B,L,D)

Passau, Germany Fri 22 Oct 2027

The view over Passau

Set on the confluence of the Danube, Inn and Ilz rivers, Passau has been an important trading city since medieval times, particularly for salt, commonly known as ‘white gold’. Each river is distinct in colour and some days you can clearly see the green, blue and black hues where the waters meet. At the centre of the Baroque city, the 13th century Italianate Old Town is packed with tight laneways tunnels and archways, including an ‘Artist’s mile’ where old buildings are occupied by artist studios, workshops and galleries. With a late departure, you’ll have time to explore the city after dark (B,L,D)

The city’s quaint old town and Main Square are resplendent in Baroque architecture; while its harbour doubles as an outdoor street art gallery.

Its well-preserved hilltop castle, which dates back to the ninth century, still dominates the town.
