August 18-28, 2027 | Prague and Danube River Cruise – INCLUDING AIRFARE (for a limited time)!

One of the great water highways of the world is the beautiful Danube River. Important parts of Europe have grown and thrived due to the benefits of this magnificent water way. Webb Tours has teamed up with Emerald Cruises to offer this exciting vacation that will take you first Prague in the Czech Rebpublc which is, without a doubt, one of Europe’s most charmeing capital cities (it’s #1 in my book).  We’ll spend two nights in Prague.  We will then transfor to our luxury river cruiser and sail the Blue Danube to Budapet, Hungary (another world-class city).  Our cruise stops in Passau, Linz, Melk, Vienna, Bratislava (Slovenia) and into Budapest, with a chance to see Budapest in depth. We fly home form Budapest. 

BUT TO BE INCLUDED, YOU HAVE TO ACT QUICKLY! Cruising the rivers of Europe is very popular and for good reason. Also, riverboats are of course much smaller than cruise ships, welcoming several hundred guests instead of several thousand.  And some of the most charming towns and scenery in Europe happen to be on the rivers. For all of these reasons, space is carefully monitored and often sold out 9 months before departure.

So COME ABOARD. We are holding guaranteed space with locked in pricing for our group until September 30, 2026. After that date, if there are unsold cabins, the price will increase. So read on. We think you’ll like what you see. We look forward to hosting your journey along the serene Danube River.
