We cruise the Danube in 5* LUXURY from Budapest to Bavaria on the Uniworld SS Maria Theresa

Editorial Summary

The creators document a luxury river cruise aboard the SS Maria Theresa, traveling from Budapest, Hungary, to Passau, Germany. The journey begins with an overview of the ship, which they describe as a floating palace, including a tour of their cabin featuring high end mattresses and marble bathrooms. Throughout the voyage, the travelers visit several major destinations including Bratislava, Vienna, and various towns in the Wachau Valley such as Dürnstein and Melk. They highlight various onboard amenities like the sun deck, a small swimming pool with a wave machine, and organized social events such as a Captains night and a themed 70s party. The creators also detail several shore excursions, including a walking tour in Bratislava using a quiet vox system, a Mozart concert in Vienna, and visits to the Spanish Riding School. They conclude that while river cruising is more organized and requires earlier starts than ocean cruising, the high quality of food, local wines, and central docking locations made the experience exceptional.
