A "Floating" Vacation

Covering 1075 km on Romanian territory, the Danube is, for luxury and comfort lovers, host to cruises that satisfy even the most exigent tastes.

Beyond the pleasures of a cruise, here you shall also have the opportunity to explore and get acquainted with the culture and civilization of these places, during the 5 stops on the Romanian territory – Orşova or Drobeta Turnu Severin, Giurgiu or Olteniţa, Cernavodă, Brăila and Tulcea, All of these stops are cities built on the sites of antique cities and fortresses.

Blessed with an opening to the Black Sea, Romania is a stop for cruises that reach these waters. Arrived in Constanta, the biggest port of Romania, you will have the occasion to visit some special places. Traces of the flourishing fortress of Tomis; the eclectic architecture that arises from the ethnic mix; the Casino that guards the sea; and, the restaurants and fancy cafes shall all charm you. Be sure to spend a special day in the city where Ovid, the Roman poet of delicate love, wrote some of the most beautiful poems of the Antique world. You can choose to go on a tour of the sunny Romanian Seaside or taste the wines of the famous Murfatlar vineyards.

If you reach Galati, you must not miss the opportunity to go on a cruise on the Danube. For this you have to choose between the „Stefan cel Sfant” sailing ship, „Vega” catamaran or „Tudor Vladimirescu” paddle boat, the only one of this kind still functioning in Europe. This last one was built in the middle of 19th century at the Ganzdanubius Shipyard, in order to ensure the commercial transportation on the Danube and, in 1919, the boat was compensation to Romania for damages from World War I. Renamed “Satmizegetusa” and transformed into a passenger boat, the boat was repaired and redecorated in 2004, now showcasing two saloons, an indoor and deck bars, and a capacity of 100 passengers.

Those who travel with the “Tudor Vladimirescu” boat can be proud that some important historical figures came aboard this ship: King Ferdinand and Queen Mary, King Carol the 2nd, King Mihai, and Marshals Averescu and Antonescu.
