Pacing
13 Days, 10 cities and ports of call, and 10 nights aboard a Vantage Deluxe River ship. Explore the Danube beyond Hungary: Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, and Romania on this well paced itinerary that highlights the emerging nations of Central Europe. This itinerary features several late evening departures and overnight stays.

Physical Activity
This itinerary is an active one and features several full days of touring. You can expect drives of one and half hours as many of the sites visited are at some distance from the ports along the Danube. All motor coaches are air-conditioned. Much of the walking on tours is over uneven terrain, cobblestone walkways, and flagstone paths. Coaches are used whenever possible to bring you as close to pedestrian centers as the historic preservation of these older towns and cities can allow. You will be visiting several sites where there are multiple flights of stairs.

Cultural Focus
The centuries-old history of the emerging nations of Eastern Europe is surprising to many who visit this region. From the imperial capital of Budapest, through the Danube’s Iron Gates, this journey embraces the proud heritage of Romania, Serbia, Bulgaria and Croatia — then and now. The focus here is on the people, their multi-cultural beginnings, and a dynamic region poised at the crossroads of history.
