Frequently Asked Questions
No, and no one complains. The Iron Gates are transited from the ship's deck: over about a hundred kilometres the Danube carves a passage between the Carpathians and the Balkans, Serbia on one bank, Romania on the other.
The whole day. The curtain rises early and does not fall until evening: it is one of the finest days of sailing in Europe, best enjoyed from the loungers on the upper deck.
Golubac Fortress, upstream. Its 14th-century towers step down the slope to the water's edge, so close the ship seems able to touch them. It is one of the most photographed passages on the Danube.
The narrowest gorges of the route: limestone walls plunging into water that has become deep. The word kazan means cauldron in Turkish, a memory of the whirlpools that boiled here before the great works and made boatmen tremble.
A face carved into the Romanian cliff, that of Decebalus, last king of the Dacians. Forty metres of stone sculpted between 1994 and 2004, the largest rock relief in Europe, staring sternly at the river.
An inscribed Roman plaque, almost opposite the Decebalus statue. It records that Emperor Trajan had a road cut here at water level to conquer Dacia: two thousand years answer each other from bank to bank.
An island that held an Ottoman village, bazaar and minaret included, evacuated before the dam was filled in the 1970s. It now sleeps beneath the surface, and locals still speak of it.
Considerably. Commissioned in the 1970s, it raised the water level and tamed the current. The Mesolithic site of Lepenski Vir, more than eight thousand years old, had to be moved above the water to be saved.
On the upper deck, and early: the best spots go quickly on the morning of the transit. Bring a windbreaker even in summer, since the gorges funnel the air, and binoculars for the details on both banks.
The ship sails between Serbia and Romania, two separate countries, only one of which is in the European Union. Documents are handled by the line, but keep your passport and papers accessible: river checks can happen.
