Welcome Message from Laurie J:

Dear Fellow Adventurers,
I’m so excited to invite you on a journey that’s both relaxing and enriching. Join fellow Christian singles on a 7-night luxury river cruise along the Danube, exploring some of Europe's most beautiful cities. Discover the easiest way to visit 7 iconic destinations across 4 countries—Austria, Germany, Hungary, and Slovakia - on one unforgettable journey.
From Budapest to Vienna to Prague, we’ll explore fairytale towns, connect with their rich history, and take part in experiences you can’t get on a typical tour; from a private tour of the Greinburg Castle to a festive Oktoberfest celebration in Vilshofin, an AmaWaterway exclusive.
Join us on the AmaReina to experience chef-prepared meals onboard, beautiful accommodations, unlimited beer and wine for lunch and dinner, live local entertainment, complimentary wi-fi, and more. It’s truly travel made easy.
What makes this trip special is who you travel with. Over the years, over 1,000 singles have joined Single+Passion cruises and found more than just a vacation—they’ve found connection, encouragement, and lifelong friendships. Whether you're coming solo or with a friend, you'll feel right at home in our warm, like-minded community.
I’d love for you to be part of it.
Warmly,
Laurie J.
Trip Breakdown

Day by Day Itinerary

Apr 08. 2026
Budapest - Embarkation
Üdvözöljük Budapesten! Step aboard the elegant AmaReina, your boutique hotel on the Danube, and settle in as Budapest’s grand boulevards and illuminated bridges drift past. As dusk falls, toast the journey ahead beneath Parliament’s golden glow.
The rhythm of the city hums in the distance as your journey begins with a soft clink of glasses.
Apr 09. 2026
Budapest
Wake to Pest’s buzzing energy and Buda’s castle-crowned hills. Choose a city tour, a hike to Castle Hill, or a late riser’s tour before sunset bathes the skyline in amber light. Pause by the Danube’s poignant “Shoes” memorial—silent and powerful.
Every corner whispers stories of resilience, beauty, and rebirth.
Apr 10. 2026
Bratislava
In Slovakia’s charming capital, wander cobblestone lanes and grand squares along the “Coronation City” route or take in sweeping views from its hilltop castle. In quiet courtyards, the scent of fresh pastries mingles with echoes of royal fanfare.
It’s a city where history feels close enough to touch—and sweet enough to taste.
Apr 11. 2026
Vienna
Willkommen in Wien, where imperial grandeur meets café culture. Tour the Ringstrasse, cycle along the riverside, or explore Vienna’s artistic soul before an optional Mozart & Strauss concert. Inside St. Stephen’s Cathedral, let the organ’s hush linger.
By evening, candlelight and classical music cast a spell that lingers long after the final note.
Apr 12. 2026
Wachau Valley to Grein
Sail through the UNESCO-listed Wachau Valley, past terraced vineyards and castle ruins, then explore charming Weissenkirchen or visit Melk’s baroque abbey. End the day with an exclusive castle tour in Grein—a fairytale flourish under the stars.
The river curves like a ribbon through Austria’s heartland, each bend revealing a new marvel.
Apr 13. 2026
Linz or Salzburg or Český Krumlov
Choose from UNESCO-listed Linz, the musical streets of Salzburg, or the medieval magic of Český Krumlov. From alpine vistas to cobbled alleyways, this day is a choose-your-own masterpiece.
Whichever path you take, it leads to enchantment—and maybe a strudel or two.
Apr 14. 2026
Passau to Vilshofen
Where three rivers meet, stroll Passau’s pastel streets or hike to its fortress for panoramic views. In Vilshofen, celebrate Bavarian spirit at an exclusive Oktoberfest with beer, music, and merriment.
Laughter bubbles over like frothy steins as the rhythms of oompah bands fill the air.
Apr 15. 2026
Vilshofen to Prague (via Regensburg)
* Post Cruise Addition if you want to extend your trip
Discover Prague’s spires, towers, and legends on a city tour from Old Town to Prague Castle. As evening falls, the lanterns flicker along Charles Bridge, whispering centuries of Bohemian stories. There is also an option have a dinner at Folklore with unlimited wine and beer.
It’s a city that rewards every glance skyward and every step off the beaten path.

Prague at Leisure
Spend your final day your way: cruise the Vltava, sip coffee in an Art Nouveau café, or sample crisp Czech lagers on a guided tasting. Let Prague surprise you—again and again. If you want to create a memorable experience, there is an optional excursion to Terezin, an internment camp.
From quiet corners to vibrant squares, beauty awaits wherever you wander.

After breakfast, depart or linger longer in this magical city. Carry home the melodies of the Danube and the soul of Central Europe.
