SUNRISE, Fla. - TelAve -- The elegant new vessel, Century Star, has left the shipyard on schedule and is undergoing the final finishing touches ahead of her inaugural sailing on September 18, 2026, from Budapest to Passau. A series of pre-inaugural sailings is set to begin on August 11 as the ship prepares to welcome its first guests.

The new vessels, the first of three to be delivered over the next two years, are built with advanced technology to protect the fragile environment of the European Rivers. This is something Century Cruises has always advocated since it was established 30 years ago.

Century Star will offer a collection of thoughtfully curated journeys, with two Classic Journey: an 8-day Danube River Cruise between Budapest and Passau, and an 8-day Rhine River Cruise between Amsterdam and Basel.
