Danube River Cruise

The journey began in Prague (Czech Republic), on the Vtlava River. We enjoyed exploring Prague for three days, then were transferred by bus to Passau, Germany, a quaint village along the Danube. After exploring Passau for a few hours, we boarded our ship for our Danube cruise. We stopped at Melk, Durnstein, and Vienna - all in Austria. Bratislava, Slovakia was one of my favorite ports. Then came the Hungarian cities of Budapest and Pécs, followed by Belgrade, Serbia. River travel was mostly overnight, but we enjoyed a picturesque day on the boat, cruising through the Iron Gate Gorge, Locks and Dam along the Danube. Toward the end of that day, we docked at Drobeta-Turnu Severin in Romania, for a brief visit. The next morning, we permanently disembarked at Vidin, Bulgaria where, again, we traveled by bus through the countryside of Bulgaria. We made a couple of stops at places of interest and ended the day in Sofia, Bulgaria, where we spent two final days exploring on land. I created separate photo galleries for the land portions of our journey. If interested in photos of Prague or Bulgaria, please find those in a separate albums on this site.
