A Grand Journey: Passau to the Black Sea
About This Cruise
This unique river cruise takes you from Passau along the Danube all the way to the Black Sea and back. It combines culture, nature, and history in a truly unforgettable way.
Starting in Passau, the “City of Three Rivers,” you head to Vienna, a city of imperial splendor and classical music. Through Hungary, you stop in Solt and Kalocsa, famous for endless paprika fields and colorful folk traditions. Batina, Novi Sad, and Belgrade reveal the vibrant Balkan spirit, with imposing fortresses and lively cityscapes.
In Rousse, known as “Little Vienna on the Danube,” and the Romanian towns of Fetesti and Harsova, you encounter wide plains, historic churches, and warm local hospitality. Passing Svishtov and Vidin, the ship enters the breathtaking Iron Gates, where the Danube winds dramatically through towering cliffs. Stops at Donji Milanovac and Golubac showcase ancient fortifications and spectacular views.
On the return, highlights include Vukovar, Budapest with its iconic Parliament, charming Bratislava, and Melk, home to the magnificent baroque abbey overlooking the river. The journey ends back in Passau, leaving lasting memories of Europe’s most beautiful landscapes and cultures.
