River Danube
Europe's second-longest river, the Danube, wanders nearly 2,000 miles, from Romania's Black Sea to the Black Forest of Germany.
No other river connects such a dazzling array of cities and landscapes-Tulcea in the East to Passau, one of Germany's oldest cities, bordering Austria. Cruising at a leisurely pace, you'll pass through no less than six countries and explore capital cities such as Serbia's Belgrade, Hungary's bustling Budapest and Vienna, Austria's sophisticated centre of classical music, art, theatre and history.
Our longest cruises on the Danube afford guests the time and opportunity to discover little known Eastern European treasures: Romania's Oltenitza, with its 4th century settlements; Russe, Bulgaria's largest river port; and Mohacs, Hungary's sleepy town where distinctive, unglazed black potter is produced.
