Giurgiu

Situated in southern Romania, Giurgiu is a small town along the Danube River that lacks in major attractions but makes up for it with significant historical roots. Giurgiu is home to one main museum (see the 'Attractions' tab above for details), a historic monastery, plus a few parks, nature reserves, and lakes where you can spend enjoy some tranquil rest and relaxation. Being such a small town with not much to it, you likely won’t need more than a day to spend in Giurgiu; however, it is in close proximity to Bucharest, a more popular and developed Romanian city. If your cruise is departing from Giurgiu, you might consider spending some additional time in Bucharest before heading to the port (or home).

A great time to visit Giurgiu is between May and September, when the weather is usually at its best for exploring!

River Cruise Lines

Becoming more and more popular, a river cruise is an immerse and destination-focused vacation experience, on a small and luxurious vessel.

River cruises sail through the inland waterways of some of the world's most interesting vacation destinations (i.e. Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and North America), and provide their guests with a greater opportunity to spend time visiting more unique ports of call than a traditional cruise typically would.

Because the destination is the star of a river cruise, (typically guided) shore excursions are included at no additional charge by many River cruise lines. There are usually many interesting lectures given during the cruise, by experts on the history and culture of the region being visited.

Among the famous rivers that one may take a river cruise on are the Rhine, Mississippi, Seine, Danube, Mekong, Nile, Yangtze, Amazon and Douro.
