Even on a drizzly day, the neo-Gothic masterpiece that is the Hungarian Parliament – with its bright red dome, crown of arched windows and more ornate spires than I could count – took my breath away. It’s a lot to take in, but the best way to get a good view of this Budapest landmark is from the top deck of a river ship, preferably with a flute of sparkling wine in hand.

Thankfully, that’s exactly what a group of top-selling river cruise agents and I enjoyed on board the William Wordsworth during a Riviera Travel fam trip last month. In just two nights, we saw Budapest, Bratislava and Vienna – and much more in between.
