Along the way we sail through six countries and visit three capitals on the river: Vienna, Bratislava and Budapest. We then continue to the Serbian capital, Belgrade. The scenic highlight of the cruise is the Iron Gate, where the Danube forces its way through a narrow gorge between the Carpathians and the Balkan Mountains. Finally we reach Vidin in Bulgaria and Turnu M\u0103gurele in Romania. A journey from the palaces of Central Europe to the fortresses and villages of the Balkans, with plenty of time in port and relaxing days on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group
