There's a new travel trend that’s catching on with more and more people these days. Imagine coasting along a major cultural, historical and political region within Europe. Well, that’s what you get when you go river cruising on the Danube.

It starts from the Black Forest region of Germany and goes all the way to the coast of the Romanian Black Sea! The Danube is the second longest river in Europe, after the Volga River.
