About the Danube
River Overview
The longest river in the European Union, the Danube begins in Germany and runs through 10 countries on its way to the Black Sea. Much older than the Rhine, its basin is thought to have been the site of some of the earliest human cultures, and it remains one of Europe’s most important and historic waterways.
Save up to $2,000 per couple on your river cruise. Limited availability!
