Step aboard your ship in Budapest and settle into your stateroom as the city’s historic skyline and the gentle flow of the Danube set the tone for your Gems of Southeast Europe journey.

Sail along the Danube to Mohács, then explore Pécs, where Roman history meets vibrant squares and landmarks like St. Peter’s Basilica, and the Mosque of Pasha Qasim. Wander cobblestone streets or savor the rich heritage of Hungary’s Szekszárd wine region, with each moment inviting discovery of Hungary’s rich heritage.

Discover Vukovar on a guided city or bike tour, visiting monuments like the Vukovar water tower and the historic Eltz Manor House. In the afternoon, savor Croatian wines in the Old Cellars or explore the Vucedol Museum, where prehistoric culture comes to life.

Wander Belgrade’s vibrant streets and historic landmarks, from the Nikola Tesla Museum to the majestic Kalemegdan Fortress. Adventurous passengers can join a bike tour or hike through the city. In the afternoon, savor regional wines and snacks at Kalemegdanska Terasa, where tradition thrives in the heart of the city–or venture to Novi Sad for an enchanting walking tour through its historic parks, squares, and old town streets.

Visit the medieval Golubac Fortress before cruising through Serbia’s awe-inspiring Iron Gates, where the Danube winds between the Carpathian and Balkan mountains. Marvel at the dramatic gorges and the striking mountainside carving of King Decebalus. Each view invites you to reflect on the wonders of this remarkable river corridor.

Wander through Vidin, where ancient streets lead to the Baba Vida Fortress, a silent guardian of centuries past. Step into local life with a Bulgarian pastry and yogurt tasting or pedal along Vidin’s sunlit lanes and let the city’s history unfold around each bend. Alternatively, enjoy a wine tasting at a local boutique winery just outside of Vidin.

Discover Veliko Tarnovo’s medieval fortress and serene Orthodox temples, or wander Rousse to marvel at the frescoed Rock-Hewn Churches of Ivanovo. Journey through the Romanian countryside to Bucharest, the “Little Paris of the East,” where elegant streets and historic squares invite leisurely exploration. In the afternoon, visit the Rousse Wine House and the historic Leventa complex, where you’ll enjoy a tasting of three wines and learn about the winemaking process.
