Perillo Tours Offers Once-in-a-Lifetime Blue Danube Cruise Oct. 4-16, 2010; Budapest to Prague

WOODCLIFF LAKE, N.J., Jan. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Steve Perillo will host a one-time only luxury cruise on the Danube River Oct. 4-16, visiting Mittel Europa's capitals including Budapest, Bratislava, Vienna, Durnstein, Salzburg, Linz, Passau, Regensburg and Prague.

"We're celebrating the 65th anniversary of the company founded by my grandfather," said Perillo, "and I wanted to show our valued guests something really special. I've always wanted to do a Danube cruise, and the quality of this itinerary is matched only by the elegance of the riverboat selected for the voyage."

Starting in Budapest at the InterContinental for two nights, Steve Perillo will welcome guests at a reception and dinner. The next day brings a tour of the city including a special visit to the State Opera House. The next week is spent cruising along the River Danube, first to Bratislava, capital of modern Slovakia and a long-ago capital of Hungary. A local expert shares insights about this beloved city on a walk to the 13th-century Old Town Hall, past Habsburg-era palaces, the Opera House, Slovak Philharmonic Hall and St. Martin's Cathedral. A troupe of Slovakian dancers and musicians provide after-dinner entertainment aboard the riverboat.

Docking in legendary Vienna on day 6, Steve Perillo and his fellow travelers will enjoy romantic Old Europe vistas including the Ringstrasse, the Opera House and Parliament, then a visit to Schonbrunn Palace or the Imperial Silver Room at the Hofburg. The evening brings a grand gala dinner with Viennese performers set in a traditional palace.

The river cruise continues amidst picturesque landscapes to Durnstein in Austria's wine country. Highlights here include the ruins of Kuenringerburg Castle, where England's King Richard the Lionhearted was held for ransom during the Crusades. Also scheduled is a wine tasting at a local Wachau region winery. The riverboat journey continues past lush vineyards, ancient castles and monasteries in the Wachau Valley.
