Explore the imperial city of Budapest before sailing behind the former Iron Curtain on a luxury river cruise in September, 2021, along the Danube River to the Black Sea on a new fly-stay-and-cruise package released exclusively by Riviera Travel River Cruises and its Australian representative, small ship cruise specialist, Cruise Traveller.

The cruise to the Black Sea is now one of the top-selling journeys for Riviera Travel River Cruises as more cruise lovers seek out alternative itineraries to explore lesser known European locations and enjoy new experiences away from the tourist hotspots.

Cruise Traveller’s exclusive 17-night ‘Hungary to the Black Sea’ package begins on September 26, 2021, and includes three nights of pre-cruise accommodation in Budapest, a two-day transport-and-attractions pass in Budapest, a 14-night cruise along the Danube River from Budapest to the Black Sea and back and return flights from Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide or Perth.

Guests who book before December 31, 2020, will receive a free onboard drinks package.

From the grand Hungarian capital of Budapest, with its historic outdoor hot baths and treasure trove of baroque, neoclassical, eclectic and art nouveau architecture, guests will sail aboard Riviera Travel River Cruises’ five-star river ship, Robert Burns, east along the Danube through Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Romania and Bulgaria to the mouth of the river on the Black Sea.
