The Blue Danube featuring Oberammergau

2022 departures of our popular 13-day Danube River cruise include a performance of the 2022 Oberammergau Passion Play! Reserve your preferred departure date and we will advise you once the 2022 trip is finalized and priced. You will then have two weeks to cancel; should you cancel, you'll receive a full refund of your trip deposit and the cost of the Travel Protection Product (if purchased). 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! Glide past fairy-tale castles and medieval villages on an eastbound journey that begins in Munich and includes a 7-night cruise aboard one of the riverboats of Tauck’s Destination Fleet. Explore Vienna, Salzburg, Cesky Krumlov, Bratislava and Budapest – plus the castle-studded Wachau Valley – taking in views of Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary. Attend a private Imperial evening with dinner and music at a palace in Vienna... a wine tasting in Dürnstein... spend a day in Mozart's Salzburg or medieval Cesky Krumlov... discuss contemporary issues and historic events in Slovakia with a resident expert… and in Vienna, see the Imperial apartments at the Hofburg or tour opulent Schönbrunn Palace. 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!
