Free economy flights from Australia included for a limited time, plus signature experiences like a private classical concert at Vienna's City Palace and a Sound of Music show overlooking Salzburg. Save up to $700pp by paying early, valid on selected departures until 30 November 2026 or sold out. Offer ends: Early payment discount valid until 30 November 2026 or until sold out 💡 If you're choosing between river cruise lines, the headline price is rarely the real comparison — what matters is whether tipping, drinks, shore excursions and Australian flights are bundled in. APT and Scenic both bundle most of it; many cheaper-looking US-based lines don't. |
