A Danube waltz
From the mouth of the Danube, where the legendary river flows into the Black Sea, to Budapest, the ‘Pearl of the Danube’ , this is an epic journey that you’ll never forget.
If you are craving a cruise that shows you a multitude of European landscapes, cultures, cuisines and stories, this incredible itinerary will satisfy. Covering six countries from eastern Europe to the west, you will stop in world-class cities such as Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade, where history and modernity combine in unique architectural cityscapes. You’ll witness ancient monuments, castles and palaces that have been scathed by tumultuous histories, while others have stood the test of time. You’ll cruise through the scenic Lower Danube early in your journey, the best-preserved in all of Europe, and will have unique cultural and active experiences such as a meal with a local Croatian family and hiking to a Serbian fortress. Along the way, you’ll visit storybook villages where locals practise the same trades, arts and crafts they have for centuries.
