Closed to tourists for many years the exotic lower reaches
of the River Danube once again welcome visitors
With an overall length of over 1800 miles, the River
Danube flows from its source in the Black Forest
of Germany through eight countries to the Black Sea - it is the only major European river to flow from west to
east.
From Nuremberg the Main-Danube Canal leads to the River Danube. The river flows through Austria to its capital Vienna and on to Budapest in Hungary.
From Budapest the Danube flows south through
the Hungarian plains, and then turns east through Serbia.
The river passes through Belgrade with its
ancient streets and Kalmegdan fortress above the confluence
of the Sava and Danube rivers. The scenery
becomes dramatic and the life more rural.
After passing through the spectacular ‘Iron Gate’,
a dramatic Danube gorge between the Carpathian and
Balkan mountains, the river forms a natural border
between Bulgaria and Romania
on its way to the Black Sea.
We offer 5 one-way voyages to/from the Black Sea - from Budapest,
Vienna, Nuremberg and, new for 2009, a 21-night voyage from Amsterdam. Some of these
one-way voyages also include nights in the Romanian capital
of Bucharest with an optional excursion to
Transylvania.
