Itinerary
The Czech capital on the Vltava River enchants you with the Charles Bridge, Prague Castle and the Astronomical Clock. You stroll through one of the most beautiful old towns in Europe.
The Bavarian city of three rivers at the confluence of the Danube, Inn and Ilz rivers will inspire you with its baroque old town, St. Stephen's Cathedral and its largest cathedral organ in the world.

In the heart of the Wachau, the magnificent baroque monastery of Melk towers over the Danube. In the picturesque wine-growing village of Dürnstein, you can walk in the footsteps of Richard the Lionheart in the middle of vineyards.
Austria's magnificent capital on the Danube combines imperial heritage such as Schönbrunn Palace and the Hofburg with coffee house culture, musical tradition and an unmistakable charm.

The ship · Amadeus Nova
The Amadeus Nova is a modern rivership from Lüftner Cruises with hybrid propulsion and solar panels on board, which ensures quiet and comparatively low-emission operation. The design is based on luxury yachts: spacious outdoor decks, a heated pool on the sun deck and its own café are part of the equipment. For the queer community, the ship is regularly the stage for a special voyage when the operator Brand g Vacations, which specializes in LGBT+ cruises, leases it completely. On the route from Prague via Passau, Melk and Vienna to Budapest, only queer guests will be on board, accompanied by a specially compiled entertainment program and a team that is familiar with this target group. If you are looking for a Danube river cruise where your own identity is a natural part, you will find a reliable address in this charter.
Frequently asked questions
How does an LGBT cruise differ from a regular one?
As a rule the entire ship is chartered — a 100% queer crowd with its own programme of DJs, drag shows and themed parties.
What is usually included?
Cabin, full board, entertainment and pool are mostly included. Premium drinks, spa and shore excursions are usually charged separately.
Is the trip suitable for solo travellers?
Yes — the solo share is high on many trips, and there are often dedicated solo meet-ups on board.
What are the cancellation terms?
That depends on the operator. You will find the exact deadlines and conditions directly with the provider.
What about safety when docking in restrictive countries?
The operators are careful about route choices. At controversial ports, shore excursions are curated thoughtfully.
