April–November 2025
Danube — Scenic Opal River Cruise
About this offer
Why I’ve picked this one.
A Danube river cruise is one of Europe's most civilised journeys — a procession through the continent's heart, stopping at cities of extraordinary architecture, wine regions, Alpine approaches and the riverscapes that inspired centuries of painters and composers.
The Budapest to Amsterdam itinerary covers the full length of the Danube and Rhine. Budapest, Vienna, Passau, Nuremberg, Cologne — eight countries, dozens of ports, every one of them within walking distance of the ship.
Scenic Opal is one of the finest river ships in the world. The Scenic Space-Ships — individual cabin balconies where the glass wall retracts completely — mean you fall asleep watching the river. Butler service for every cabin, a single all-inclusive price, and the sense of travelling slowly through history make this an experience of real quality.
The details
Scenic Opal — a 5-star river ship with butler service and Space-Ships (retractable glass walls that open fully to the river).
