Eastern European Odyssey
Roundtrip Vienna To Black Sea

This 14-night odyssey takes you where Western visitors
seldom travel, and explores countries whose geographical boundaries are still
being affected by recent history and current events. Admire the grand cities
that were Hapsburg Dynasty capitals and the ancient remains of important Roman
Empire outposts. Immerse yourself in fiery Gypsy culture and the elegant strains
of Strauss waltzes. Savor unique cuisine and revel in the natural beauty of
the Danube's exquisite Iron Gate region and visit the resort beaches of the
Black Sea. You will see firsthand how current restoration efforts have preserved
the region's rich historical, architectural and cultural heritage.
