Overview

Click map for larger size

This 12-day vacation begins with two nights in Budapest, where a guided tour makes the Hungarian capital come alive. Visit a typical puszta before boarding your elegant vessel for a 7-night cruise on the Lower Danube to the Black Sea. First stop is Kalocsa in the heart of the paprika-growing area, then cruise along the border of Croatia into Serbia, past the fortress of Petrovaradin at Novi Sad and into Belgrade. A city tour shows you the highlights of this remarkable capital, and there's an opportunity to taste the delicious local fare. Continue down the Danube through the dramatic Iron Gates Gorge. Stop in Svistov, Bulgaria, where a full-day excursion takes you to the ancient capital of Veliko Târnovo and nearby Arbanassi. Rejoin your ship in Rousse, Bulgaria's largest inland port, and sail to Constanta, known as the "Pearl of the Black Sea Riviera." A visit to the Natural History and Archaeological Museum is a highlight. Return to Oltenita, where a short ride takes you to Bucharest, Romania's lively capital, for an overnight and included city sightseeing.
