Winding west to east, from Germany’s enchanting Black Forest to the beautiful Black Sea Coast, the historic River Danube is an ideal destination for river cruise holidays. Flowing through an ever-changing landscape of pristine valleys and gorgeous panoramas, its glorious banks form a patchwork of picturebook castles, medieval monasteries, luscious vineyards, spectacular cities and tranquil villages. The mighty Danube River, immortalised by Strauss in the Blue Danube Waltz, coils through 10 European countries, including Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, Bulgaria and Romania so Danube river cruises offer many diverse wonders, from Austria’s picturesque Wachau Valley and the magnificent cities of Budapest and Bratislava, to imperial Vienna and Romania’s impressive Iron Gates Gorge.
