Music of the Danube Embrace history & culture on these special sailings

On a special, enhanced version of our “Full-Day in Salzburg with Sound of Music” tour, during which we explore filming locations of the classic 1965 movie, we’ll stop in Mondsee to watch a local singing group perform songs from the film in the church where Maria and Captain Von Trapp’s wedding was filmed.

Enjoy an evening of compositions by famous Viennese composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Strauss. In one of Vienna’s historic halls, world-class professionals of modern-day Vienna, including singers, will enchant you with their music.

Listen to the moving sounds of a church organ fill the walls of a historic church in Austria’s idyllic Wachau Valley, where pastel-hued abbeys stand proudly amongst vineyard-covered hills and picture-perfect medieval villages.

Yodeling is a time-honored folk tradition in Bavaria, so it’s only fitting that you learn the art form while you’re there. During our time in Passau, you’ll have the opportunity to join a yodeling lesson onboard.

Enter a multimedia experience that transforms Mozart’s compositions into an immersive piece of art. Make your way through five different rooms, each with a different story to tell in honor of Vienna’s most famous composer.

Join a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER^® Experience onboard, during which a local speaker will present an engaging lecture on the history of the Roma people in Hungary, accompanied by a vibrant musical performance.

Did you know that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart first performed for the Habsburgs as a 6-year-old child at the Schönbrunn Palace? Step back in time as we recreate that moment in history by welcoming local Austrian piano prodigy Little Mozart aboard the beautifully Baroque S.S. Maria Theresa for some pre-dinner music in the lounge.

During a stroll through Bratislava, the charming little capital city of Slovakia, stop inside the St Martin's Cathedral. This stark, white building is a striking element of Bratislava’s skyline, and hosted the coronations for the Kingdom of Hungary for nearly 300 years. Inside, you’ll find Slovakian pianist Michal Mrocek waiting to perform a private concert for our guests.
