Trip Description
Working once again with Hewins Travel, we have put together a 14-day trip on Uniworld's River Duchess. Join us as we trace the millennia-old timeline along the Danube River from Vienna to the Black Sea for a trip of a lifetime!
You'll cruise through seven countries: Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, and Romania, seeing sights that you won’t forget, immersing yourself in new cultures, meeting new friends, and delighting in new types of food and drink. Celtic fortifications, medieval tours, Turkish baths, 19th-century neoclassical architecture, Roman ruins, and modern resorts make this one of the most extraordinary voyages in the world.

Eric Baxter from Hewins Travel and MHS Trustee will once again serve as our escort throughout the trip.
