Find out more about our
Amsterdam to Iceland cruise.
Cruise Trek is boldly going on another European River Cruise in
2022! Mostly as a Re-do of a cruise that was changed due to water level
issues back in 2018. Indeed we still had a wonderful trip, but some have
wanted to be able to see what we missed – i.e. Croatia, Serbia,
and Bulgaria – so – here we are! ;-) And at a better time
of the year!!
~ Do You Need Travel Insurance? ~
One option is Trip Insurance.
There are other choices, but we offer
Travel Guard for informational purposes.
Our first adventure on the historic Danube River in 2008 was noted to
be the most majestic and popular. In the summer of 2022, we’ll
continue the adventure down the Danube, but this time, we will sail from
Bucharest, Romania to Budapest, Hungary, where we ended our first
Danube Adventure.
This cruise now offers a couple different pre cruise tour options
– option #1 is exploring Istanbul for a 3 night tour including the
Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, the Sultans Grand Palace and the Grand
Bazaar, and option #2 is a 4 night pre-cruise hotel/tour package which
includes 2 nights in Bucharest which then continues to Transylvania,
where we stay in the town of Brasov, near to Bran Castle, more known
as Dracula’s Castle for a tour and en route we will explore
Peles Castle, considered to be one of the most stunning castles in
Europe. Then after our river cruise adventure you can take in either
amazing Budapest or the absolute beauty of Vienna. These packages
have some meals, all tours and most transfers included.
As always, additionally to the amazing itinerary possibilities, special
highlights and advantages of this Cruise Trek adventure will include a
professionally-trained tour guide to accompany us throughout, local
entertainment, music performances, lectures, cooking demonstrations,
and theme dinners.
Plus, on board a river cruise, included in your cruise fare are pre
dinner “Sip & Sail” hours, wine, beer & soft
drinks with lunch and dinner, Wi-Fi service, bottled water, bicycle use
and shore excursions
