Trip at a Glance

Join Grand Circle on the ultimate European River Cruise. On this River Cruise, you'll unpack just once, then wend your way continuously from Amsterdam on the North Sea to Constanta on the Black Sea. In between, a rich and textured Old World canvas comes to life as you visit some of Europe's main sites along its major waterways—the Rhine, Main, and Danube rivers. From the Netherlands' low countries to Germany's famed wine regions, from rich Hungarian cultures to the heart of Eastern Europe in Bulgaria and Romania, this European River Cruise has it all.

Announcing our NEW 2012 itinerary: Now Sail from Amsterdam TO the Black Sea, with 1 night and a city tour in Constanta, Romania.
