BEST EUROPEAN RIVER CRUISES
Bulgaria River Cruises in 2023
On a river cruise through Bulgaria in 2023, you will have the opportunity to see an array of amazing sights at every twist and turn of its glossy waterbanks. Discover Bulgaria's ancient fortifications, and spectacular towns like Ivanovo, Melnik, Pleven, Veliko Tarnovo, Vidin, while passing through breathtaking landscapes and innumerable locations.
Bulgaria
Most Bulgarian river cruises visit Danube River ports, despite the fact that the Iskar River, a Danube tributary, flows entirely within the country. A cruise through Bulgaria is a great way to get up close and personal with the region's unique beauty and the many castles and fortresses that dot the bucolic landscape. Belogradchik, Vidin Castle, and Baba Vida Fortress are just a few of the well-preserved Bulgarian castles worth visiting. A long history of invasion, conquest, and settlement by cultures like the Greeks, Scythians, Romans, Byzantines, and Turks has left their imprint on the area. One of Europe's oldest wine regions, it is also home to Roman remains, Ottoman mosques, and Eastern Orthodox monasteries and churches. With a voyage down the Danube via Bulgaria, you may discover the undiscovered gems of Eastern and Central Europe.
