Salzburg & Embarkation in Passau
After breakfast, depart Munich for a scenic journey into the Austrian Alps and the storybook city of Salzburg, famed as Mozart’s birthplace and the setting of The Sound of Music. Upon arrival, join your guides to explore the baroque Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage treasure, where pastel facades, ornate churches, and elegant squares are framed by the soaring Hohensalzburg Fortress above. Enjoy time at leisure to wander charming streets or savor a light lunch before continuing to Passau, the “City of Three Rivers.” Here you’ll embark on the elegant AMADEUS Imperial, settle into your stylish cabin, then gather for a sparkling welcome cocktail with the Captain. Afterwards, you'll have some free time to walk around Passau, or just relax on the ship for a few hours. The evening concludes with a festive Welcome Dinner on board, the perfect toast to the days ahead. Tonight, the Amadeus Imperial departs Passau and heads for the Port of Linz.
Highlight of the Day: Standing in Salzburg’s Old Town, where music, history, and alpine charm come together in unforgettable harmony.
