Southeast Europe's Quiet Rivers and Storied Cities

Nov 1 - 8, 2027

From Giurgiu, Romania to Budapest, this sailing traces a stretch of the Danube most travelers never see — Bulgarian river towns, the dramatic Iron Gates, Belgrade, Vukovar, and the wine country of Mohács before your final night in one of Europe's most beautiful capitals. I've reserved a block of 8 staterooms on this exact sailing, so you're not just booking a cruise — you're joining a small group of my travelers experiencing it together.

Group Perks
Booking within my Gems of Southeast Europe group includes:
- Staterooms from $4,599 per person (Cat. E, double occupancy) up to top suite categories — 8 cabins reserved for the group
- Prepaid gratuities for your full sailing
- Priority access to my travel-night events leading up to departure, where you'll meet fellow travelers before you ever board
- Direct access to me throughout planning — not a call center, not a form. Just your advisor.
(Port charges of $280 per person apply and are not included in cabin rates above.)
Extend the Adventure
Turn one river cruise into two — and double your onboard credit.
Gems of Southeast Europe disembarks in Budapest on November 8th — the very same day my Magna on the Danube sailing departs from Vilshofen. Book both sailings together and you'll receive $500 per cabin in onboard credit on BOTH cruises, or one complimentary pre- or post-cruise land package — on top of everything else. Step off Gems and onto Magna without missing a beat.
Prefer to extend on land instead of combining sailings? Ask me about:
- 2 nights Bucharest + 2 nights Brasov (pre-cruise, Oct 28–Nov 1) from $1,480 per person, double occupancy
- 3 nights in Istanbul (pre-cruise, Oct 29–Nov 1) from $2,190 per person, double occupancy
- 2 nights in Vienna (post-cruise, Nov 8–10) from $940 per person, double occupancy
Book by October 31st: $250 per cabin onboard credit, and you choose your cabin.
Call 214-868-2833 by October 31st to lock in your spot on Gems of Southeast Europe — book now and you get first pick of the cabins still available in our group block, plus $250 per cabin in onboard credit. Spots are limited to the 8 cabins I've reserved, so once they're gone, they're gone.
