Royal Crown danube River golf Cruise august 12–22, 2015 nuremberg • vienna • budapest • prague
Wachau Valley, Austria DanUBE rivEr 2015
THE DANUBE IS EUROPE’S LONGEST
river, flowing through or forming the border of eight
countries. Medieval towns adorn its banks and
historic empires owe their influence to this significant
cultural and historic waterway.
Our journey begins in Nuremberg, a city with a rich
history dating from the Holy Roman Empire to World
War II, when German officials were brought before
an international war crimes tribunal in Nuremberg,
which gave the town symbolic value as the site of the
demise of the Nazis. The bucolic bavarian scenery on
the outskirts of town adds to the charm of the excellent
course we play, Golf Club am Habsberg.
Our host vessel for this journey is Royal Crown,
previously known as River Cloud. Privately
chartered for this voyage, Royal Crown is the premier
means of travel on the Danube River. Passengers will
appreciate the ship’s European elegance, including
adornments of brass, teak and rosewood. Offering the
best in service and accommodations, gourmet cuisine
and local wines, our vessel provides a relaxing and
gracious home away from home.
Gliding down the Danube, we achieve a perfect
balance between delightful golf and illuminating
cultural tours with stops in Melk, Dürnstein, Vienna
and Budapest. You may also wish to extend your
journey and join us as we travel to Prague.
Regardless of how much golf your ideal vacation
includes, we have designed daily tours that delight
and enrich. Whether you are touring Europe’s grand
Prague capitals with our experienced guides, attending
