Eastern Europe & the Black Sea remains one of our most popular trips by far—and, new for 2009—enjoy an additional day in Budapest, spend ten nights on the ship, and view the Black Sea from the seaside resort of Varna. You’ll step ashore in five countries, visiting Old World villages and rejuvenated world capitals. Along the way, enjoy a Home-Hosted Lunch in Croatia, witness nature’s amazing Iron Gates while cruising between Serbia and Romania and discover what life is really like during discussions with the locals. Be among the first Americans to glimpse these re-emerging nations, and immerse yourself in their culture on our extensions to Prague, Czech Republic and Transylvania, Romania.
