Discovery: The Danube Delta on a speed boat, a thrilling and original discovery. 

Spend the afternoon cruising towards Oltenita.

Day 3: Oltenita, Romania | Bucharest

Day 4: Ruse, Bulgaria

Full-day excursion to Veliko Tarnovo and Arbanassi. Enjoy dinner and an evening of traditional entertainment on board.

Day 6: The Iron Gates

The entire day will be spent cruising on the Danube. Your ship will pass through the Iron Gates, the gorge on the Danube that forms part of the boundary between Serbia and Romania.

This was my first experience with Adventure Life - and I couldn't have been more pleased with the trip. The guides and local staff in both Buenos Aires and Uruguay were terrific - extremely helpful and accommodating. I really enjoyed meeting the friendly staff in Buenos Aires in person (I left my bags with them for the afternoon).
