The Danube River cruise is a river cruise on Europe's longest river, the Danube River, which is especially popular as a tourist route from Passau in Germany to Budapest in Hungary.
Navigation
Today, the Danube can be reached by large nautical vessels from the Black Sea to Braila in Romania, river vessels to Kelheim in Germany, and small vessels to Ulm. The Rhine-Main-Danube Canal, completed in 1992, allows navigation from Rotterdam in the North Sea to Sulina in the Black Sea, and since 1994 has been designated as a Pan-European corridor.
For sightseeing
Cruise ships for tourists are also popular, and cruises on the Danube River are especially popular from Passau in southern Germany to Budapest in Hungary, passing through Austria and Slovakia on the way. The Danube River passes through several notable landscapes, including the Wachau Valley and the Iron Gates Gorge. The Wachau Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is renowned for its picturesque vineyards, rolling hills, and historic towns. This region is particularly celebrated for its wine production and cultural heritage. Further along the river, the Iron Gates Gorge marks a dramatic section where the Danube flows between towering cliffs, forming a natural boundary between the Carpathian Mountains and the Balkan Mountains. This gorge is one of the most scenic stretches of the river, offering breathtaking views of steep rock faces and narrow passages.
