![Offer Image](/images/Ship/106219_AmaBella_6ff5416adae0469fa4ebdb0848f96fd8.png)
Journey along paths forged by conquerors, crusaders and kings through Romania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia,
Hungary, Austria, Germany and the Czech Republic. Step back in time to explore the history and mystery living in
the hillsides while cruising the Danube and through the Iron Gates. Legends of all kinds are waiting to be
uncovered-Belogradchik, one of Bulgaria’s natural wonders; the Rock-Hewn Churches of Ivanovo, built into the
side of a mountain showcasing well-preserved medieval frescos; and the 14th-century Bran Castle, once home to
Vlad the Impaler who inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula. Experience the Romans’ influence firsthand in Pécs, "the
city of Mediterranean impressions," and through the taste of wine in Ilok, a center of wine production since Roman
times. From imposing capitals-Prague, Vienna, Budapest and Istanbul-to towns lost in time, immerse yourself
in the colorful folktales and traditions of the extraordinary people and places you visit along the way.
