The Danube flows through four capitals—and you’ll see them all on this remarkable cruise. Embark in Belgrade, capital of Serbia, to learn about the republic—both today and as part of the former Yugoslavia. Also in Serbia, explore Golubac near Đerdap National Park and the pristine environs of Donji Milanovac. On to Turnu Severin in Romania, where Trajan’s Bridge remains as one of the Romans’ greatest architectural achievements; and Vukovar, a testament to the steely resolve of the Croatian people during the War of Independence in the 1990s. Then, visit Hungary’s paprika hub, Kalocsa, followed by a grand arrival into the capital, Budapest. Slovakia’s capital, Bratislava, may surprise you with its unique personality, while Austria’s capital, Vienna, is opulence on the grandest scale. Scenic cruising through the Iron Gates and Wachau Valley top off your experience!
The Serbian capital city has much to offer; the fortress is a testament of Belgrade’s importance through history. Visit the Nikola Tesla Museum or learn more about former Yugoslavia via the museum of the same name. Explore on foot or by bike.
The Danube has often forced the small town on the Serbian bank to relocate - in the past because of flooding, and more recently because the Iron Gate power station has changed the river landscape. The magnificent natural setting of the Derdap National Park, which surrounds the town, remains unimpressed. Nearby, archaeologists have unearthed a sensation: Sculptures, weapons and tools up to 9,000 years old bear witness to an advanced Stone Age civilisation - Lepenski Vir, one of the oldest settlements in Europe.
Well-fortified: The 13th-century Severin Castle was not the first fortress here; the Romans secured this area 2,000 years ago: the remains of ancient Drobeta are now an open-air museum. The Wallachian town preserves the traces of its history and has been called Drobeta-Turnu Severin since 1972. An ancient landmark, Trajan's Bridge, once spanned the Danube for more than 1000 metres. Some of its mighty pillars still stand.
The city is located close to the Serbien border and was the scene of much armed conflict during the war from 1991 to 1995. Signs can still be seen today. The port is surrounded by wineries and close by are interesting archeological sites.
Kalosca is one of Hungary’s oldest cities and the perfect blend of traditional and modern. Lovely old buildings, quaint shops selling paprika and embroidery sit side by side with modern apartment blocks and offices.
Budapest has much to offer like the Castle Garden Bazaar, the Fisherman’s Bastion or Mathias Church. There are plenty of highlights to explore or guests can choose to relax in one of the many hot springs spas the city is famous for.
Guest love Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, because the Old City Center is for pedestrians only and easy to explore. Add the great local food, wine and beer and you understand why guests return.
Tulln is a historic town located on the southern banks of the Danube River in Austria. It dates back to the Roman times when it was an important military and economic center due to its strategic location. Today, Tulln has a small commercial and passenger port on the Danube River, connecting the town with other parts of Austria and Europe. The port has played a significant role in the town's development and continues to be an essential transportation hub. Despite being heavily damaged during World War II, Tulln has been rebuilt and restored, and its historic center attracts tourists who come to admire its beautiful architecture and rich cultural heritage.
