Celebration of Music with Lakes Area Music Festival
AmaWaterways Danube River Cruise, Hosted by Scott Lykins
September 24 – October 1, 2025
Support the Lakes Area Music Festival while cruising the Danube! 10% of all proceeds for this incredible river cruise will go towards bolstering your vibrant community that’s connected through music. This money not only makes concerts accessible to all in the community, it also funds education programs that inspire the next generation of musicians and audiences, as well as outreach events across the Central Lakes Area.
Imagine yourself sailing down the Danube, the legendary river that whispered inspiration to Mozart and Strauss. Towering fortresses stand guard as we travel through Old World Europe, their grandeur echoing the imperial history that lines the banks. Budapest, Bratislava, and Vienna, the “City of Waltzes,” unfold before us, each with captivating architecture, captivating legends, and the storied sites where musical giants lived, worked, and performed.
But this journey isn’t just about history; it’s about deepening your love for music. Live performances will become the soundtrack to your exploration, from a captivating concert within Melk’s golden-hued abbey to other enchanting experiences along the way. As we glide back towards Budapest, the Danube will carry not just your boat, but the echoes of a musical pilgrimage through time.
