Cruise overview
Romantic Paris, imperial Vienna, majestic Istanbul … we’ve composed an exceptional journey by luxury river cruise and private train to highlight these legendary cities and a plethora of lesser-known marvels in between. Begin by following the path of the Seine River through Normandy to stroll Monet’s lush gardens at Giverny, sample camembert and crisp apple cider at a countryside farm, and sit for a private concert at the Rouen Cathedral, then glide your way through 7 scenic nations aboard the Golden Eagle Danube Express. You’ll stop in Champagne, France, for a vineyard tour and tasting, listen to live saxophone music echo through the stone halls of the Postojna caves, and much more.
Uniworld also offers a 15-day version of this itinerary in the opposite direction, including an additional night at a hotel in Paris. Click here for more information.
