LOWER DANUBE EXPLORER: BUDAPEST LOOP WITH IRON GATES

Discover some of the Danube’s best kept secrets on this extraordinary 2-week cruise into the Balkan region.

Then, enter Serbia for stops in exciting Novi Sad and Belgrade, the mesmerizing capital and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe. On to scenic Donji Milanovac, and a highlight passage through the rugged Iron Gates gorges that form a natural border between Serbia and Romania. Also spend time in Giurgiu, Romania; Rousse, Bulgaria’s colorful Little Venice; Svistov, the river’s southernmost port; and Vidin, home to an exceptional wine-making tradition.
