? Our group trips are a great chance to travel with others. We also recommend adding in a few extra nights tailor-made to ensure you build the perfect itinerary.

Your all gay river cruise begins with two nights hotel and guided sightseeing in Prague, the “Jewel of Eastern Europe.” One of Europe’s best-preserved cities, Prague’s medieval center remains a beautiful mixture of cobblestone pathways, guilded towers and gothic cathedrals. From Prague, we travel to one of Europe’s most fabled rivers, the Danube.

On board the Amadeus Queen, you will be pampered by a crew of forty in an atmosphere of total relaxation. With this great riverboat, we’ve created an itinerary that includes the two best Eastern European cities which have become prime destinations for gay and lesbian travelers. This cruise has it all – historic sites, charming towns, world-class wine and cuisine and more.

From exploring ancient ruins and soaking in the rich cultural tapestry of Eastern Europe to indulging in exquisite wine and culinary delights, every moment aboard is curated to offer a blend of exploration, indulgence, and camaraderie. Prepare to be swept away by the romance and grandeur of the Danube, where history and modernity dance along the riverbanks.
