The Renaissance of Elegant Travel to Eastern Europe and Russia


Land of the Hapsburgs
“My subjects are my first children."
Empress Maria Theresa (1717 – 1780), the only woman ruler in the 650 history of the Habsburg dynasty
The lands of the Habsburgs were defined by the great rivers which often marked their borders, and which functioned also as the main arteries for trade and warfare. The most important towns and cities were on the banks of these rivers, and this is why a cruise down the Danube on the River Cloud vessels is such an ideal way to see them. You really do have the best of both worlds – the romance of the river, and the accessibility of the historic places to visit.

The River Cloud has everything that you need to make this one of the cruises of a lifetime – fabulous food, fine regional wines, impeccable service, and spacious cabins. From beginning to end, your days and your evenings will be entertaining; by day there are new sights to see, and by night there are elegant dinners and shipboard entertainment. Above all, the River Cloud has something of course that no hotel can match: you will be gliding through the heart of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire the entire journey.

The River Cloud, launched in 1996 as an all-new vessel, has changed the face of river cruising forever. This ship is appointed with the most luxurious and modern amenities set in the theme of 1930’s elegance and grace. While enjoying your deluxe riverboat, you will tour the charming towns and villages of the Austro-Hungarian Empire such as Budapest, Bratislava, Melk, Passau, Nuremburg, and Vienna. This program includes an extensive touring program in Budapest with 3 days of touring with an Exeter International guide and deluxe accommodations in one of Budapest’s five-star hotels.
