Great Rail Journeys operates this escorted river cruise that combines rail and water travel through Eastern Europe, departing from the Danube Delta on the Bulgarian coast and concluding in Bucharest. The journey follows the path of the Black Sea inland, passing through the Iron Gate Gorge and visiting Budapest along the way. Passengers experience five-star luxury accommodation and the relaxation of river cruising across Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. The trip suits couples and luxury-focused travellers who prefer guided, all-arranged travel over independent exploration. The blend of rail segments with an extended river cruise offers a slower pace than rail-only journeys, allowing extended time in key regions.
