Three days each in the Hungarian capital of Budapest and Bucharest, an eclectic mix of Romanian and French influence, sandwich six days aboard the deluxe Scenic “Space-Ship,” visiting fascinating ports in Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia and Hungary.
An impressive selection of optional excursions – included standard on all of the company’s cruises – offer a deeper look into the cultures and sites: a show at a Hungarian Puszta horse farm; a home-cooked Croatian lunch in a local home; a tour of both cities, Buda and Pest; or a visit to Bran Castle, known as the home of Bram Stoker’s Count Dracula.
The truly all-inclusive "no hidden costs" policy means guests are able to leave their money in their pocket when it comes to all aspects of the cruise except personal expenditures.
Prices for the April 14 and May 26 departure dates – and the reverse itinerary on May 19 – range from $5,395 to $7,380 per person, double. The 18-day “Black Sea & Turkey” river cruise, which combines this itinerary with an additional four ports, is available for prices ranging from $7,465 to $9,450.
Scenic Cruises operates the newest and most luxurious fleet of river cruise ships in Europe.
Scenic Cruises parent company, Scenic Tours, offers award-winning all-inclusive escorted tours in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere.
