There are a vast variety of incredible itineraries you can enjoy in this beautiful part of the European continent. 
 
The Danube has served as a major trade route for centuries, acting as a crucial frontier of the Roman Empire. You’ll pass through many iconic cities as it winds its way through Europe, including Budapest, Vienna, Bratislava and Belgrade. The river offers explorers a scenic and inspiring experience full of local food, guided tours and cultural performances. 
 
For those wanting to travel the entire river system, you can cruise from the mouth of the river, originating in the Black Forest in Germany, right through to the Black Sea on a tour that journeys right through the heart of the continent, taking you on an adventure like never before. Or perhaps you’d prefer to choose an itinerary that sails through a particular area of interest for you, like the upper Danube, exploring the Baroque architecture in Vienna, the thermal baths in Budapest and the fairytale villages of Durnstein, or the lower Danube, discovering the Iron Gates George (the spectacular cliffs between Serbia and Romania, the rural Balkan landscapes and of course, the Danube Delta, a breathtaking UNESCO nature reserve which is a must-see.
