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 Hapsburg dynasty
The lands of the Hapsburgs 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 II 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 historic places to visit.

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

The River Cloud II 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 and Vienna.  The journey includes an extensive touring program in Budapest led by an Exeter International guide and deluxe accommodations in one of Budapest’s five-star hotels.
