From admiring vast ocean vistas to sailing into the heart of a city, unveil the best of both worlds on this adventure that spans both river and sea.

Few journeys bring you closer to a region than a river cruise, gliding through its soul. Two nights in Prague introduce you to Europe, its intricate architecture and cobbled lanes perfectly setting the scene. From here, trace the charm of the continent as you drift along the Danube, gaining insight into the destinations that dot its storied banks with guided tours and immersive experiences.

Trading immediate exploration for a more leisurely pace of life, you’ll join Sun Princess® in Barcelona for a Mediterranean voyage to Athens. En route, experience the naval spirit of Marseille, admire the iconic landmarks of Rome, and relax on the golden shores of Mykonos – basking in the warmth of the midsummer sun.
