Cruise - Danube Delta to the Austrian Lake District (Fly & Cruise)

River cruise from Danube Delta to Black Sea through eight countries

Great Rail Journeys offers a five-star escorted river cruise along the Danube, one of Europe's most historic waterways. The journey spans approximately one thousand miles from the Danube Delta in Romania to the Black Sea, passing through eight countries and the Austrian Lake District. Travelers fly to the starting point and then spend the duration aboard the river ship, cruising through Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Romania. The escorted format means your itinerary and activities are organized by the operator, freeing you from planning details while you observe the changing landscapes, villages, and cultural landmarks along the river.
