CroisiEurope has launched an exclusive eight-day Danube cruise, taking in the 2020 world-famous Passion Play in Oberammergau
Europe’s largest river cruise operator, CroisiEurope, has announced details of an exclusive Danube cruise that includes two nights in Oberammergau plus the best seats for the world-famous 2020 Passion Play.
From 16 May to 4 October 2020, the villagers of Oberammergau in Bavaria will once again perform their renowned Passion Play, a tradition which goes back to 1634. The performance, which involves more than 2,000 villagers, a full orchestra and a vast stage, takes place every 10 years and commemorates Christ’s journey into Jerusalem, his death and resurrection.
The eight-day itinerary starts with a six-day Danube cruise from Budapest to Passau visiting Bratislava, Vienna and Melk. Guests will then transfer to Oberammergau for a two-night stay, during which they’ll enjoy the best orchestra seats for a performance of the spectacular Passion Play as well as a meal during the interval.
There are three departures on 17 June, 17 July and 26 August 2020.
The itinerary is also available in reverse, starting with two nights in Oberammergau followed by a six-day cruise from Passau to Budapest with two departures on 20 July and 19 August 2020.
The cruise takes place on the premium-rated MS Symphonie, which was inaugurated in 2017.
