Overview

Embark on a 15-day premium river cruise beginning in Zagreb, where you’ll explore Croatia's stunning coast with stops at Krk, Zadar, Šibenik, Split, Korčula, and Dubrovnik. Fly to Munich where you’ll cruise the Danube River, visiting stunning towns along the way before finishing up in Budapest.

Itinerary

Arrive in Zagreb and transfer to Opatija as a group to board your ship. After settling in, meet your fellow travellers and Cruise Director during a Captain's Welcome Dinner. Stay Seven Nights: aboard the MV Princess Eleganza (D)

Enjoy free time in Opatija before you set sail and drop anchor off the beautiful island of Krk, where you can take a refreshing swim in the Adriatic. After lunch on board and a relaxing sailing afternoon, your ship will arrive at the island of Rab. This evening is free to wander the picturesque Old Town of Rab, a perfectly preserved late medieval Adriatic settlement squeezed into a slender peninsula. Wander the white-walled harbour foreshore at leisure, perhaps enjoying dinner at a local restaurant overlooking the vibrant port marina. (B/L)

This morning your ship will drop anchor near the island of Pag, where you may like to go for a swim (weather permitting). Arrive in Zadar later in the day and enjoy a guided afternoon walking tour through the atmospheric Old Town. Admire its Roman columns and portals, beautiful churches, baroque palaces and Renaissance buildings.

This tour will conclude at the Sea Organ, an architectural sound art object and musical instrument powered by sea waves and tubes beneath large marble steps. Nearby is the Sun Salutation, a monument of 300 multi-layered glass plates that absorb solar energy by day and create a waterfront light show at sunset. Both were created by Croatian architect Nikola Bašić.

Return to your ship for dinner this evening. (B/L/D)

Šibenik is known as the gateway to the magical Krka National Park, and today you will spend the afternoon at the dramatic waterfalls this area is famous for. Afterwards, return to the MV Princess Eleganza. Your ship remains in port overnight here in Šibenik. Following dinner on board your ship this evening, you may like to head into town to enjoy exploring Šibenik's beautiful squares, as well as its narrow, winding streets. (B/L/D)

Insider Experience - Krka National Park Experience the natural beauty of Krka National Park. Here, explore the dramatic waterfalls, where the highlight is Skradinski Buk, a large natural pool with high waterfalls at one end and countless cascades at the other, where the rushing river forces its way through a barrier of tiny islets. Take a walk along wooden jetties and bridges to admire the falls, and the unique flora and fauna.

After breakfast, enjoy a walk through the historic town of Šibenik. Wander through the well-preserved, white-walled Old Town with your guide. Arrive in Split later this afternoon and set out on a guided walk through the town, exploring the Palace of Diocletian. Your ship will moor close to town in the evening, giving you the chance to enjoy dinner in one of the many restaurants located on the picturesque Riva Promenade. (B/L)

On arrival at the Croatian island of Vis, disembark to explore this remote and largely untouched natural beauty during a scenic drive around the island. Return to the ship for lunch before sailing to Korčula. Join a local guide to explore the city's maze of cobblestone medieval streets and elegant squares, flanked by palaces of the old nobility. This Old Town may not be as well-known as Dubrovnik, but this destination is every bit as rewarding for those lucky enough to visit. Your ship moors near to the town overnight, meaning you can enjoy dinner in one of the local restaurants. (B/L)

Stop at the idyllic island of Badija for a swim in the warm azure waters of the Adriatic Sea before continuing to Dubrovnik. Spend the afternoon on a guided walk through the unrivalled ‘Pearl of the Adriatic', the medieval Old Town of Dubrovnik.

A guided tour of Dubrovnik's World Heritage-listed fortress begins at the impressive Pile Gate, which has stood guard at the entry of this unique walled city for centuries. Within the ancient fortifications, wander through narrow limestone alleys and marble paved boulevards to see the grand Gothic-Renaissance Rector's Palace, the Dominican and Franciscan Monasteries, and the inspiring Sponza Palace before returning to your ship later this evening for a Farewell Dinner on board. (B/L/D)

Your Croatia Coastal Cruise draws to its conclusion after breakfast this morning with a transfer to the airport for your included flight to Munich. You will be met and transferred to your river ship, docked on the Danube River. Stay Seven Nights: aboard your Travelmarvel river ship (B/D)

In the beautiful city of Passau, enjoy a guided walking tour, taking in the historic sites as you roam the cobblestone lanes of the Altstadt. (B/L/D)

Insider Experience - Bavarian Experience Tonight, enjoy a traditional Bavarian experience on board. Sample delicious local beer and snacks, accompanied by traditional folk music, song and dance.

Today, you can choose to join an optional tour to Český Krumlov in the Czech Republic or visit Salzburg and enjoy the sights from ‘The Sound of Music'. Alternatively, enjoy time at leisure in Linz. (B/L/D)

Enhance Your Journey - Český Krumlov Enjoy a fascinating day excursion to the city of Český Krumlov in the Czech Republic, home to more than 300 historical buildings.

Enhance Your Journey - ''The Sound of Music' Sights Depart from Passau to Salzburg and enjoy a tour of the sights from ‘The Sound of Music', including the famous Wedding Church.

Join a local guide to see Melk Abbey, an active Benedictine monastery since 1089. Cruise through the picturesque Wachau Valley, then continue to Dürnstein, where you have a free afternoon to explore. Perhaps join an optional tour to taste some of the region's wine. (B/L/D)

Embrace the elegance of Vienna as you drive around the Ringstrasse, taking in some of the city’s most famous buildings. On arrival in the centre, a walking tour will provide an insider’s view of sights such as St Stephen’s Cathedral, the Graben and Hofburg Palace. Afterwards, maybe visit the Naschmarkt and browse the stalls. This evening, you could enjoy an optional concert. (B/L/D)

Enhance Your Journey – Mozart and Strauss Concert Enjoy a Mozart and Strauss Concert in one of Vienna’s palaces or concert venues, followed by an evening drive around the Ringtrasse.

Today discover Slovakia's capital Bratislava, on a walking tour through the Old Town where you will see St Martin's Cathedral, Primatial Palace and Main Square. You'll also visit the only surviving example of the original four entrances to the city, Michael's Gate. Tonight, celebrate your river cruise with a Captain's Farewell Dinner. Stay: Travelmarvel river ship (B/L/D)

Awake to views of one of the Danube's most enchanting cities this morning. Disembark and learn the vibrant history of Budapest as your local guide takes you to a host of impressive sights, including Heroes' Square and St Stephen's Cathedral. Stay: Travelmarvel river ship (B/L/D)
