Iron Gates, Danube
The Danube Danube cruises are the perfect way to explore one of Europe’s most iconic rivers, the beauty of which was famously honoured by the Austrian composer Strauss when he wrote his celebrated waltz, ‘The Blue Danube’ in 1866. As well as Austria, the river passes through Germany, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Moldova, Ukraine and Romania, beginning its 1,770 mile journey in Germany’s Black Forest, in the town of Donaueschingen, where the Brigach and Breg Rivers meet. From there, it flows east through Central and Eastern Europe, taking in a number of memorable capitals before emptying into the Black Sea after passing through the Danube Delta. Discover more
