Welcome Dinner

After landing at the Otopeni Airport in Bucharest, you will be picked-up at the airport for a transfer to the Hotel. Meet your fellow travelers at a Meet & Greet Dinner this evening.

Palace of the Parliament in Bucharest

After breakfast, check out of your hotel and begin a full-day exploration of the capital city of Romania, dubbed “Little Paris“ for its French-inspired architecture and avenues. Your adventure begins with a panoramic city tour along city's broad boulevards, past the State University, the Triumphal Arch, Romanian Athenaeum and former Royal Palace.

Continue on foot through the historic center and visit one of the oldest Orthodox churches in the city: Stavropoleos. After lunch in a local restaurant, take a picture of the Parliament Palace, constructed under famous Communist leader Nicolae Ceaușescu. Your afternoon concludes with a transfer to the Danube port of Fetești, for embarkation. After settling into your cabin, enjoy a Welcome Cocktail and a specially-prepared Dinner.

Cruise to kilometer zero of the Danube where it flows into the Black Sea

The natural beauty of the Danube Delta is on full display today. Spend the morning cruising one of the three main canals that make up the Danube Delta. The vessel reaches the point where the Danube, after winding its way through ten European countries, drains into the Black Sea. Thereafter, the vessel docks in the fisherman's village of St. George. With the village not being reachable by car, locals and visitors alike mostly navigate by bike, boat, or foot.

For those wishing to delve further into the wetlands and reed beds home to otters, great cormorants and egrets, the optional Delta Safari boat excursion awaits.

Excursion to the Black Sea Coast of Constanta

During breakfast, arrive in the small Romanian town of Hârșova. This is your gateway to an excursion to Constanța, the oldest continually inhabited city in Romania and its largest sea port, tracing its history some 2,500 years. The guided tour through this important cultural and economic center highlights a synthesis of Greek, Roman, Balkan-oriental and European influences and offers views of the Great Mahmudiye Mosque, famous Genoese Lighthouse and Archaeology Museum. Step on the golden beaches of the Black Sea before returning to the ship. This evening, enjoy dinner as the vessel continues to Bulgaria.

Veliko Tarnovo, the oldest town of Bulgaria

This morning, the ship reaches the southern-most harbor on the Danube — Svishtov — which is situated on the Bulgarian side of the river. For those wanting to explore a little farther inland, an excursion including lunch is offered to the enchanting Veliko Tarnovo, the oldest town in Bulgaria. High on a peak are the remains of the medieval town of Tsarevets, where 22 tsars made history in the 2nd Bulgarian empire. The flagships of the neighboring museum village of Arbanassi consist of the Church of the Nativity, adorned with splendid murals, and the rose oil, which is a speciality of this picturesque town. After a delicious lunch in a local restaurant, return to the ship which is now docked in Nikopol.

Cruise day with passage of the famous Iron Gates

Today it is time to unwind and relax on board, as the vessel makes its way through the river's narrowest points, known as the ‘Iron Gates'. Between Drobeta Turnu Severin and Moldova Veche, the Danube forces its way through the eye of a needle of huge gorges. In between, Europe‘s highest rock sculpture, which shows the likeness of the Dacian king Decebalus. Power and beauty combined in 110 kilometers of river.

Visit of Church of Saint Sava in Belgrade

Today we will introduce your curiosity to Serbia‘s capital. On our city tour of Belgrade, the Kalemegdan Fortress tells of eventful times. Timelessly beautiful: the view over the Danube and Sava. Afterwards, discover Terazije Square, the castle of Princess Ljubica, and the city‘s indomitable dynamism. Would you rather ennoble the day? Then join us alternatively to Topola and Oplenac and trace the heritage of Serbian kings.

Experience rural Hungary

The Puszta presents you a wonder of vastness on our excursion. Heaven and earth seem to merge. On the way you will visit the „paprika capital“ Kalocsa. First you will nibble a few delicacies made of paprika, the „red gold“ of the country, then you will experience Hungarian saddle strength at a rousing horse show.

Evening cruise Budapest with folklore show on board

Good morning, you have a rendezvous with the „Queen of the Danube“. On the round trip she shows her seductive sides — with the State Opera House, Parliament, Heroes‘ Square and Castle Hill with the Fishermen‘s Bastion. The culinary refinements of this enchanting city will delight you on our afternoon excursion.

In the evening, our light tour through Budapest will make your heart glow. It will catch fire during a spirited folklore show on board.

Captain's Gala Dinner

The best way to take in the beauty of the Slovak capital is on our city tour. First up the castle hill and lose yourself in the distance. Then walk through the historic center of Bratislava and fall in love with baroque palaces and squares. A lot of attention to culinary detail will be served in the evening with our festive Captain‘s Gala Dinner.
