ABOUT THIS VIDEO: Have you already cruised the Rhine or Upper Danube and are looking for something different?

Join us as we explore the Lower Danube River through Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Romania aboard AMA Waterways. This fascinating itinerary takes travelers beyond the traditional Western European river cruise routes and into a region shaped by empires, conflicts, cultures, and centuries of history. In this video, we'll take you from Budapest to Bucharest, visiting charming towns, medieval fortresses, historic capitals, vineyards, and some of the most spectacular scenery on the Danube River. Highlights include: • Budapest, Hungary • Vukovar, Croatia • Novi Sad and Belgrade, Serbia • Iron Gates Gorge • Golubac Fortress • Vidin and Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria • Bucharest, Romania • Bran Castle (Dracula's Castle) • Transylvania • Peles Castle • Sighisoara, birthplace of Vlad the Impaler Along the way we'll share what makes the Lower Danube different from the Rhine, Main, Moselle, Seine, Douro, and Upper Danube river cruises that many travelers already know. If you're interested in Eastern European history, Cold War history, castles, fortresses, authentic local culture, wine regions, scenic cruising, and destinations that feel less crowded than Western Europe, the Lower Danube may deserve a place on your travel wish list.
