This extraordinary Danube River cruise travels from Passau to the Black Sea and back, offering a rich blend of culture, history, and scenic beauty across Central and Eastern Europe.
Beginning in Passau, the “City of Three Rivers,” you’ll head to Vienna, famous for its imperial elegance, before entering Hungary, where Solt and Kalocsa showcase traditional folk culture and paprika fields. The route then flows through the Balkans with stops in Batina, Novi Sad, and Belgrade, each offering a mix of historic fortresses and lively city life. Further along the river, Rousse, Fetesti, and Harsova reveal a more relaxed pace, with open landscapes and authentic local charm.
On the return leg, guests visit Vukovar, Budapest with its iconic Parliament, Bratislava’s charming old town, and Melk with its stunning Baroque abbey, before returning to Passau with unforgettable memories of Europe’s most iconic river landscapes.
