From the romantic waterways of the Danube to the sun-soaked shores of the Mediterranean, Van Loon and Princess Cruises unite for an extraordinary twin-cruise holiday.

Begin in Budapest, the striking Hungarian capital straddling the Danube, then embark The Gentleman for a river cruise through the heart of Europe, calling at storybook towns and historic cities along the way. Sail past Vienna’s palatial skyline, wander the fairytale villages of the Wachau valley, and drift into Passau, where Baroque spires rise above the riverbanks, its Old Town glowing at the water’s edge.

A stay in Rome follows, where storied ruins and cobbled piazzas invite unhurried exploration, before you embark Sun Princess for a Mediterranean voyage steeped in island charm. From whitewashed Santorini to the timeless landmarks of Athens, sail through some of the Mediterranean’s most captivating coastline before your journey draws to a close in vibrant Barcelona.
