Best known as the host of legendary Transylvania, Romania is full of charming cities and scenic beauty. The myth & history of Dracula will come alive as you tour the city of Brasov, surrounded by the majestic Carpathian Mountains. Just a short drive from here you will find the ornate Neo-Renaissance Peles Castle at Sinaia. You will then learn why the booming city of Bucharest was nicknamed "Little Paris." And Tulcea is a small hilly town at the entrance to the Danube delta into the Black Sea. Giurgiu, Oltenita, Cernavoda & Fetesti are several other traditional towns our cruises visit. The longer Danube River cruises also sail to Hungary, Slovakia, Austria, Romania, Bulgaria, & Serbia, where you will experience European history in active ways like bicycling through the countryside or walking tours of the ancient cities.

Adventure Life couldn’t have provided a better travel experience, from the start of planning through the entire tip itself. The agents were very helpful and quickly responsive to our questions and needs. We were well taken care of and the trip was smooth sailing, both literally and figuratively. The cruise line, the hotel, and the extra excursions that Adventure Life provided were superb and without flawsThe price was reasonable when we compared the planned trip to what was offered by others. We would highly recommend both Adventure Life and Emerald Cruise Line to anyone interested in an enjoyable, relaxing, and informative travel experience.
