Later, learn to waltz with a dance class, enjoy a visit to a local art museum, or venture to Burg Liechtenstein for a boat tour of the largest underground lake in Europe. In the evening, you’ll be treated to dinner and a concert on shore.
    • Cruise through the UNESCO designated Wachau Valley, marveling at the natural landscapes of Austria and enjoying your ship’s amenities.
    • In Linz, you can wander the galleries of the museum that matches your interests with a museum pass.

You also have the option to venture to the Czech Republic for a full-day tour of Český Krumlov, complete with local beer tasting.
    • Passau’s three rivers set the pace for your day as you wander its colorful lanes, choosing between a guided look at its storied riverfront with a local tasting or a peek inside a beloved pretzel bakery steeped in tradition.
