The magical, musical, majestic Danube will host our Spring 2020 Theatrical Adventure – complete with our own on-board 16-piece orchestra and internationally recognised soloists including Donald Maxwell.

There is something for everyone on-board MS Ariana, one of the most modern cruise ships on the Danube.  Good food, good company, outstanding entertainment and a journey across part of Europe full of history, and unforgettable scenery.  This will be a true Theatrical Adventure.

 

In March 2019 Theatrical Adventures became the first company to include its own full orchestra on a European river cruise.  Here’s what some of our guests said:

“I have never had so much fun in my life!”

“The perfect mix of accommodation, food, friendliness for single passengers, topped with that  wonderful orchestra and singers.”

“The best holiday I have ever been on.  I shall never forget your musicians and singers. A marvellous experience.”

“The atmosphere is quite magical – drifting down the river with beautiful music, great food and super company.”

“This was my fourth cruise with Theatrical Adventures. I intend to spend every penny of my children’s inheritance on more of them in the future!”
