        Comana Natural Park

        Sitting just across the Danube from the Bulgarian city of Ruse, Giurgiu is a lively city in southern Romania boasting an abundance of enjoyable activities and cultural experiences for travellers of all types. Marking an important crossing point on the Romania-Bulgaria border, you’ll be met with an interesting atmosphere here and a cuisine that draws on traditional Romanian dishes and – occasionally – Bulgarian foods and flavours to deliver something special. Much like any river cruise destination on the Danube, this is a fantastic spot for a riverside stroll in the sunshine; however, you’ll also have the chance to venture further afield and take advantage of some scenic walking routes through the local countryside. The Comana Natural Park, in particular – which sits north of Giurgiu, between it and Bucharest – is a fantastic place to walk and sightsee in nature, should you want to travel that far from Giurgiu city centre upon your arrival. If not, you’ll still find plenty of charming spots in and around Giurgiu worth exploring. Beyond that, the historic town centre in Giurgiu boasts several unique landmarks, interesting museums, and more to make your visit worth every moment. A little more laid back than larger cities on the Danube, but far from lackluster, Giurgiu is going to be one destination you’ll remember on your river cruise.

        Phare de la Pietra (Pietra Lighthouse)

        Boasting bustling marketplaces and charming cultural experiences where you can sample the local cuisine, all complimented by gorgeous weather and stunning white-sand beaches, L’Ile Rousse – also known as Rousse Island – is a highlight of any Mediterranean adventure in the waters south of France. This charming seaside town can be found on Corsica, an island region of France in the Mediterranean Sea; so, you’ll find traditional French cuisine with a Mediterranean twist in the charming restaurants and cafes here – if you’re planning to stop and savour the lively atmosphere of this popular destination. However, if you’re looking to make the absolute most of your time here, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to soak up the sunshine on one of the beaches here, or take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding scenery by visiting the iconic Genoese Lighthouse on Ile de la Pietra. Beyond this, you’ll have the chance to soak up the culture this Mediterranean holiday hotspot enjoys or venture further afield to discover more of Corsica ahead of your next destination. Ultimately, however you spend your time here will be rewarding, that much is always true of L’Ile Rousse.

        The Cross Barracks Museum

        A quaint Bulgarian port town on the Danube, known for the vibrancy of the surrounding wine region and its unique historical landmarks, Vidin is something of a hidden gem among the destinations you’ll visit on a river cruise through Eastern Europe – somewhere you should definitely take some time to explore when you get the chance. Bordering Romania and close to Bulgaria’s border with Serbia, the influence of these other cultures is evident, but Vidin still boasts a distinctly Bulgarian experience for visitors. The cuisine you’ll have the chance to enjoy here is authentic and flavourful, and there’s a lot to learn about the region from the cultural landmarks found throughout the local area. Although, if you’re looking for something a little more scenic, Vidin boasts a charming waterfront area worth walking along and more than enough opportunities to head further afield and into the wilderness areas surrounding the town. With warm weather in the summer months and easy access to other incredible destinations in the region, such as the history-rich Belogradchik and the Magura Cave in Rabisha, you’re in for a fantastic time when you visit Vidin.

I booked a 1 week cruise from Dubrovnik followed by 3 nights at the Albatross in Cavtat . The holiday was for 3 of my nieces. . . In the main they were generally very happy with the holiday with a couple of exceptions related to the extension On the day of the changeover they had to leave the cabin very early [8am? ] but had to wait until 1pm for the transfer to the hotel . Therefore by the time they arrived at the Albatross half of the 1st day had gone . Another disappointment followed when they were shown to their room . The room itself was beautiful with a lovely sea view but the 3rd bed was not fit for an adult to sleep in . This caused some concern and necessitated a complaint to reception i. e. more precious time wasted ! The problem was resolved by putting another mattress on top of the existing one . . When I made the booking I particularly requested that the 3rd bed would be suitable for an adult . However , I would be very happy to book with Thomsons again !
