Black Sea Explorer With Bucharest & Budapest

Budapest > Bucharest

Hidden Treasures Rediscovered

For much of the 20th century, the remarkable wonders of Eastern Europe were concealed behind a thick veil of secrecy. Fortunately, those once mystery-laden lands are now open to all.

Take a fascinating journey along the Danube, from Budapest all the way to Romania, where the river spills into the Black Sea. Your cruise will take you through unspoilt lands, where lush landscapes are punctuated periodically by towns and cities that still look as they might have over a hundred years ago. You will see the hidden gems of Eastern Europe, from the eclectic Serbian city of Belgrade to the well-preserved Baroque town of Osijek in Croatia, sailing through narrow gorges and soaring cliffs of the Danube’s Iron Gate. This varied itinerary will also give you ample time to relax on board in luxurious surrounds as you watch Danube river life rolling by.
