Heart of the Danube featuring Oberammergau

The 2022 departures of this popular Danube River cruise will include a performance of the 2022 Oberammergau Passion Play!

If you are making your own air arrangements, do not book your flights until this trip is finalized as start and end cities may change. We look forward to traveling with you! There are no beaten paths when your road is the Blue Danube... on an idyllic 11-day trip featuring a 7-night Munich to Vienna river cruise… preceded by Tauck’s experience at the 2020 Oberammergau Passion Play! Your leisurely riverboat journey unfolds like a dream: dramatic river landscapes, fairy-tale castles, Roman ruins, and romantic villages...the epicurean delights of Wachau Valley, wine tastings, a private lunch at a Cesky Krumlov castle... a mountaintop abbey drenched in lavish Baroque art... a mad count’s romantic vision of a medieval castle... the quirky, eclectic charms of Bratislava... and the magic of Vienna, capped by a sumptuous evening of dining and music at a Viennese palace. There’s much to see and inspire in our Danube Reflections. Once every ten years, as each new decade begins, some 2,000 local residents of the little Bavarian village of Oberammergau join forces to perform the Passionsspiele (Passion Play), a dramatic re-creation of Jesus Christ’s last days on Earth. First produced nearly four centuries ago, the Passion Play has become a beloved highlight of every decade… and being there in person to see it unfold in 2022 with Tauck will be an experience you'll remember for a lifetime!
