BUDAPEST TO BUCHAREST

Cruise Highlights

  • Visit St. Stephen’s Basilica, Budapest’s neo-Renaissance cathedral completed in 1905; continuing with Pest’s impressive mix of architectural masterpieces and historic monuments
  • Go back to the days of World War II and the Cold War at the Sziklakórház ("Hospital in the Rock"), a museum recreating underground military medical and civil defense facilities in a former secret nuclear bunker hidden beneath Buda Castle.
  • Explore the fascinating Christian Necropolis, a complex dating back to the 4th century that includes underground burial chambers and chapels adorned with early Christian art and frescoes.
  • Dock in the Baroque city of Vukovar, once showcasing opulent 18th-century mansions, but now poignantly symbolizing the effects of the 1990s war as it rebuilds.
  • You may choose to take a full-day excursion to Transylvania’s 14th-century Bran Castle, which Tepes once used as a fortress during his military campaigns; the excursion includes a brief walk and lunch in Brasov.
