There are few better ways to explore Europe than by luxurious river cruise, but for those who are interested in health and wellness there is a doubly fabulous option that will leave you with a post-holiday glow like never before – a 13-day wellness-themed cruise aboard Avalon Waterways’ Blue Danube Discovery river cruise.
Starting in Budapest and ending with three nights in Prague, this special Blue Danube Discovery tour is a delightful journey through charming, old world European waterside towns and villages along the Danube River.
As the ship meanders its way past picture-perfect towns and villages, guests will enjoy an onboard program designed to invigorate mind, body and soul with a health and wellness professional providing classes and lectures – all with the emphasis on how to look and feel your best.
Wellness cruise highlights
