While in Budapest, guests will see such highlights as the city's largest indoor market and will tour its storied hillsides and neighborhoods via motorcoach. Guests will also have the chance to visit the nearby artist village of Szentendre outside of the city and will enjoy evening cruises on the Danube to see the city lit up at night.
The cruise, which will operate on Emerald Cruises' signature Star Ships, will visit five countries overall -- Germany, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Hungary. Calls include Passau, Germany; Bratislava, Slovakia; and Linz and Vienna in Austria.
Cruises run from April through October, and fares start at $4,845 per person.
