Natural Wonders of the Danube Delta

Natural Wonders of the Danube Delta

About This Cruise

September reveals the Danube in a particularly atmospheric light. Your journey begins in Vienna and leads through some of the most fascinating cultural and natural landscapes of Southeast Europe. Before long, Budapest unfolds in an impressive panorama of grand façades, bridges and the mighty river. Further downstream, vibrant cities alternate with quieter riverbanks, small communities and wide-open scenery.

A special highlight is Belgrade, where historic fortifications, lively neighbourhoods and the meeting of the Danube and Sava create a distinctive setting. A relaxing day of sailing then gives you time to enjoy the changing scenery from the ship. In Romania and Bulgaria, the Danube reveals a more unspoilt side, while places such as Rousse and Vidin add history, architecture and regional character to the journey.

Another memorable section is the area around Golubac, where dramatic landscapes and centuries of history come together. As the ship heads west again, Vukovar, Solt and Bratislava bring further variety. In September, softer golden light and the first hints of autumn colour give the riverbanks a particularly inviting atmosphere. There is plenty of time to simply watch the scenery unfold and enjoy the rhythm of life on the river. The contrasting regions, cultures and river landscapes make each new stretch feel different from the last. Finally, you return to Vienna with a rich collection of impressions from a Danube journey linking Central Europe and the Balkans.

Itinerary

Austria

Vienna

Austria’s capital is one of those cities that every traveler should visit at least once in their lifetime. Hardly any other city in the world offers such an enchanting combination of magnificent architecture, world-famous museums and theaters, and beautiful green spaces. It’s no wonder that Vienna’s entire city center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Vienna is known worldwide for its palaces of emperors, kings, and nobles, such as Schönbrunn Palace, the Belvedere, and the Hofburg. But the city’s many churches—especially St. Stephen’s Cathedral, its iconic landmark—are also well worth a visit. Museum lovers will certainly get their money’s worth at the city’s numerous world-class museums, such as the Albertina, the Kunsthistorisches Museum, and the Leopold Museum.

Hungary

Budapest

“Pearl of the Danube” or perhaps “Paris of the East”? One thing is certain: Budapest has so much to offer! Even from a distance, the Parliament Building, situated on the riverbank, greets visitors and allows the Hungarian capital to shine in its former glory. The imposing Chain Bridge invites you to explore the Buda and Pest districts, which are adorned with Art Nouveau buildings, wide boulevards, and historic thermal baths. After enjoying a slice of the famous Baumkuchen, you can appreciate the breathtaking view from Castle Hill—with its Royal Palace and the impressive Fisherman’s Bastion—even more.

Serbia

Belgrade

The “White City”—as the Serbian name Belgrade, is anything but colorless. Its turbulent pastshapes this Balkan metropolis. The scars of that era are just as much a part of the cityscape as the spirit of optimism that can be felt and seen. Belgrade is home to about 1.7 million residents—and, with the monumental Cathedral of Saint Sava, is home to one one of the largest Orthodox churches in the world. A stroll down the shopping street Knez Mihailova with its shops, cafés, and an exciting mix of architectural styles leads straight to the Belgrade Fortress. Here, you can not only view down to the mouth of the Sava River, but also the tranquility of the sprawling Kalemegdan Park.

While our ship comfortably takes you from one city to the next, you can enjoy your time on deck and relax as the scenery passes by.

Bulgaria

Ruse

The city of Russe is located in northern Bulgaria, on the border with Romania, and is known for its industry as well as for its opera and theater. The city is home to modern universities, museums, and a television tower. Situated directly on the Danube, it serves as a starting point for several Danube river cruises. If you’d like to be enchanted by an underground world, take a tour of the Orlova Chuka Cave, one of the most popular caves in Eastern Europe.

Bulgaria

Vidin

The Bulgarian city of Vidin is located in the northwest of the country on the Danube River. It is considered one of the oldest cities in Bulgaria and you can find many influences of both Celts and Romans and Ottomans in the city. Worth seeing is especially the medieval fortress from the 13th century called "Baba Vida". Also a visit to the cathedral "Sveti Dimitir" or the mosque "Mustafa-Pasha" are recommended..

Serbia

Golubac

The Serbian port city of Golubac lies on the Danube and is best known for its idyllic fortress with eight towers, situated on the riverbank. Here, visitors can step back in time, as it is one of the best-preserved medieval castles. Both the Upper and Lower Castles, as well as the various towers, are open to the public. The Serbian Derdap National Park begins in the vicinity of Golubac.

Croatia

Vukovar

The Croatian city of Vukovar is located in the eastern part of the country and is characterized by the Baroque era. The city’s historic center is therefore well worth a visit. The Grand Hotel “Radnicki dom” is also very well known. Don’t miss the Baroque Eltz Castle and Croatia’s oldest and most famous water tower. A stop at St. Philip’s Church and the adjacent Franciscan monastery is also highly recommended.

Hungary

Solt

The city of Solt is located in the eastern part of Hungary and lies directly on the Danube. It is a central shipping junction for the cities of Budapest and Baja. The town is surrounded by pastures and fields where gray cattle and sheep graze. It is especially impressive to look at the wild horses of the Puszta. Many surrounding horse farms offer guided tours on horseback or by carriage. The craftsman's farm, not far from Solt, shows its visitors old handicrafts.

Slovakia

Bratislava

The capital of Slovakia lies on the border with Austria and Hungary. Approximately 450,000 people live there. Bratislava’s Old Town dates back to the 18th century and, thanks to its car-free zone, is perfect for strolling. The city’s famous dark beer is served in the local cafés and bars. Perched on a hill is Bratislava’s landmark—Bratislava Castle. From its terrace, you have the best view of the city and the Danube.
