Cruising down the Lower Danube from Romania to Hungary is a rewarding, relaxing and highly enjoyable voyage of discovery. My route passes through quieter parts of Europe, where small towns, local markets, family-run vineyards and historical cities offer an alternative to more crowded destinations.
Layers of Roman, Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian history are woven into everyday life, giving a clear sense of how the river has shaped the culture of Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia and Hungary – the countries I will visit along the way.
