Danube Cruise: 3 Days, 3 European Capitals
Charter a River Cruise Ship on the Danube
“Companies looking in Europe for extraordinary venues for 100–150 participants should consider chartering a river cruise ship on the Danube!” says OceanEvent CEO Christian Muehleck. These elegant vessels—combined with tailor-made itineraries and side programs—provide a truly unique setting for meetings, seminars, and team-building, as well as customer or employee events. And of course, for private celebrations such as birthdays, anniversaries, and weddings.
A Highlight Along the Danube: Bratislava
Cruising Europe’s longest river guarantees inspired participants. The majestic waterway winds its way through some of the most beautiful cities and landscapes: Passau, Linz, Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava, Belgrade, and more. Along the way: breathtaking panoramas, castles, monasteries, and unspoiled nature drifting by as postcard-perfect scenery.
