Eastern Europe & Balkans Unveiled with Turkey & Budapest

Commence in Istanbul, a fascinating city that straddles two continents, for a seven-day land journey. Walk the bustling streets of Istanbul and the intoxicating Grand Bazaar, visit the WWI battlefield of Gallipoli, and discover the vibrant city of Çanakkale. Then take an included flight to the Romanian capital, Bucharest where you will enjoy an overnight stay before a fascinating seven-night cruise along the Danube, from Romania all the way to the diverse and vibrant Budapest. Your cruise will take you through untouched lands punctuated by towns and cities that still look as they might have over a hundred years ago. You will see the hidden gems of Eastern Europe, from the eclectic Serbian city of Belgrade to the well-preserved Baroque town of Osijek in Croatia, cruising through narrow gorges and soaring cliffs of the Danube’s Iron Gate.
