7-Night Trip on MS Riviera Radiance

The Blue Danube River Cruise

Budapest to Danube River

Cruise
Slideshow offer placeholder
Soak up all that Europe’s most cultured river has to offer, with its wealth of grand baroque architecture, medieval cities, picture perfect towns and the sights that inspired Strauss and Mozart. From Budapest, we slip our moorings and head on our journey north to Esztergom spending the morning exploring its Basilica and historic centre, which once was Hungary’s capital, before continuing westwards to the beautiful old town of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia. Navigating through Lower Austria we then reach the romantic town of Dürnstein. After, we visit the remarkable monastery in Melk. Soon we arrive in Linz for a guided tour. Alternatively, take the scenic drive to Salzburg and enjoy a guided tour of the old town. On our way back eastwards, we will reach classical Vienna. No visit here would be complete without the experience of a classical recital. Finally, cruising into Hungary, we arrive back in imperial Budapest, straddling the picturesque Danube. After a guided tour of this palatial city, following our final dinner, we enjoy a Hungarian folklore show - an excellent finale to this most exceptional and relaxing cruise. 

Highlights:
Discover the extraordinary Esztergom Basilica and Slovakian capital, Bratislava with its 17th century castle and pretty old town on tours. Explore Dürnstein, famous for its ice blue tower and the castle where Richard the Lionheart was imprisoned, then visit stunning Melk Abbey. Visit the charming baroque town of Linz, or the main sights of Salzburg such as the Hohensalzburg fortress, the Hellbrunn Palace and the gardens of the Mirabell Palace. See Vienna's cultural sights, including St Stephen's Cathedral and the colossal Hofburg, and experience a guided tour of Budapest and its ancient Castle Hill, with views of the iconic Parliament Building. Enjoy our live classical quartet recital with views of Vienna and a Hungarian folklore show in Budapest on board the ship.

About MS Riviera Radiance

Ship Overview
MS Riviera Radiance

Home to our biggest cabins yet, the brand-new MS Riviera Radiance has been brilliantly designed in collaboration with our Swiss partners for the perfect balance of contemporary and cosy.

From the split-level lounge and dining in the main restaurant to the floor-to-ceiling French balconies available in over 80% of cabins and suites, life on board the 80-foot MS Riviera Radiance feels airy and light. The Grand Suites, located on our Diamond Deck, are an impressive 32 square metres and feature separate living and sleeping space - making them our biggest cabins yet - and at 24 square metres, our Superior Suites feel luxuriously spacious.

Our brand-new ship features all the facilities you'd expect to find in a boutique hotel. The main restaurant rivals the finest onshore establishments, taking fine dining to another level, complemented by delicate European porcelain, gleaming glassware and the intuitive service in which the Swiss excel. On board are two additional, speciality restaurants, which offer a more intimate dining experience and showcase a delicious array of local flavours. You'll never go hungry on board!

Designed with the very latest technology and our strong environmental values in mind, MS Riviera Radiance is on track to qualify for the Gold Standard as part of the Green Award programme. So, you can lay back, relax and enjoy that cocktail on the Sun Deck guilt-free knowing your holiday will have a minimised impact on the peaceful natural landscapes we cruise through, protecting the world we love exploring for future generations to enjoy.

Decks

Sun Deck
Here, you can catch the scenery change from the comfort of a sun lounger, sip cocktails on the deck and, when the sun starts to heat up, cool down with a dip in the plunge pool. Whether we're in port or sailing to our next destination, the Sun Deck is the place to relax.

Diamond Deck
The Diamond Deck is home to the social hub of the ship, the Panorama Loung and Bar. From here, you can watch the waters of one of Europe's most beautiful waterways rush by and spot the small settlements that reside on the riverbank. And, after the day's adventure, you and your sun-kissed fellow travellers will congregate here to swap stories and discuss the highlights of the day, returning here after dinner to enjoy a digestif and the evening's entertainment.

The Bistro, located at the stern, is available at no extra charge for lunch and dinner. It offers a more intimate dining experience with an open kitchen, large panoramic windows and al fresco seating so you can admire the fantastic views. Here in the evenings, the chef presents his personal signature dishes to a small number of diners with menus varying according to the seasons.

All Grand Suites are located on the Diamond Deck as well as Superior Suites and Double Cabins.

Ruby Deck
The Ruby Deck can be summed up by the swish of a napkin and the clink of a glass. Our ship's main restaurant is located on the Ruby Deck, offering an exceptional service pairing seasonal menus with a glass of wine from our carefully curated wine list, including a selection of regional favourites. Our friendly and attentive staff are only too happy to help from recommendations to alternative dietary options, nothing is too much trouble. So, you can just sit back and delight in the wonderful elegance of your surroundings; beautifully laid tables of just 4 or 6 guests, crisp linen, deep wool carpets and warm wood panelling abound to offer a delectable dining experience of the highest order.

You'll usually find your Riviera Travel Cruise Director in the lobby area on the Ruby Deck as well as the reception desk where the helpful staff are on hand to assist you 24 hours a day. Close by, you'll also find our boutique shop.

On the Ruby Deck are Superior Suites and Double Cabins.

Emerald Deck
On the Emerald Deck is the fitness centre, perfect for working off all those delicious meals or, for something less strenuous, you could treat yourself to a relaxing massage.

Each evening, head towards the bow of the Emerald Deck to enjoy a set menu in our speciality restaurant - including vegetarian and vegan options – that showcase flavours inspired by destinations across the rivers of Europe.

 All cabins on the Emerald Deck are Double Cabins.
