Danube River Cruises to the Black Sea
from Germany, Vienna, and Budapest

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.
