From Budapest to the Black Sea
This all-inclusive two-week river cruise along the Danube visits the riverside attractions of Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary. Begin by exploring the city of Vukovar where the historic centre features Baroque architecture. Sail overnight to spend a full day in the Serbian capital Belgrade whose landmark sight, the Kalemegdan fortress, sits at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers.
Then, spend a relaxing day on board Spirit of the Danube as she cruises past the huge rock carving of the Decebalus Face and on through the dramatic scenery of the Iron Gates Gorge. In Bulgaria, discover the rich history of Vidin and Austrian-style architecture of Rousse.
Continue cruising the Danube into Romania, stopping at Cernavoda for an included walking tour of Constanta, before continuing sailing overnight to Oltenita. Enjoy an included full-day excursion to the Romanian capital Bucharest, where highlights include the former Royal Palace and Romanian Atheneum Concert Hall. Visit the Bulgarian town of Nikopol, overlooked by medieval fortifications, before a full day sailing back into Serbia. Stop at Donji Milanovac, for an included walking tour of the Mesolithic site of Lepenski Vir, and from Novi Sad you can visit a monastery in the Fruska Gora National Park on an included excursion.
Then, spend a relaxing day on board as Spirit of the Danube cruises into Hungary where you will have a day to see the sights of Budapest, both on an included coach tour and independently. The cobbled streets of Buda are home to medieval architecture and UNESCO-listed Buda Castle.
