Uniworld, Butterfield & Robinson Team Up on the Danube
Uniworld Boutique River Cruise Collection has partnered with Butterfield & Robinson on its popular eight-day “Enchanting Danube” departures, taking travellers through four countries and three capitals on a journey from Budapest, Hungary to Passau, Germany.
Debuting this year on select Enchanting Danube departures, travellers wishing to enjoy the best of river cruising paired with a more active exploration of the region can join an exclusive biking excursion led by the experts from Butterfield & Robinson. Guests will cycle along the Danube River bike path, Europe’s longest dedicated bike path, from Germany to Bratislava. Throughout their cycling adventure, they’ll be treated to “an incredible backdrop of rich culture and stunning scenery with medieval strongholds, towering castle ruins and gorgeous vineyards.”
In addition to discovering extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage sites in Budapest and Vienna, and countless gems in between in Salzburg, Linz, Melk, Durnstein and Passau, they’ll delve deeply into the flavours of the region with exclusive events ranging from an organic wine tasting of the Wachau Valley’s famous Rieslings to a saffron workshop to beer and bratwurst in Bavaria.
“Partnering with Butterfield & Robinson aligns with our core values, emphasizing attention to detail, excellence in service, unparalleled gastronomy and most importantly, providing our guests with unforgettable and unique experiences,” said Uniworld president Guy Young. “We’re thrilled to be offering this active-focused option on one of our most popular itineraries.”
Travellers can join Uniworld and Butterfield & Robinson on select September departures onboard the River Beatrice and select sailings between May and September 2017 onboard the S.S. Maria Theresa.
