Imagine cruising through a sea that is associated with compelling mysteries and invigorating discoveries. A fresh take on the popular cruises down the Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea River Cruises are great alternatives for tourists interested in culture and history. The Black Sea is worth exploring by cruise ship because of its unique characteristics: its name has evolved from “Inhospitable Sea,” to “Hospitable Sea,” when colonies formed and the Greeks discovered how it could be easily navigated. The Black Sea has earned its current name from the Turkish, after witnessing the uprising of black sediment in the water during strong storms. Another fun fact? Mount Ararat on the coast of Turkey is rumoured to be the landing place of Noah’s Ark.
The Black Sea covers 422,000 square km and is bordered by six countries: Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Georgia, Turkey, and Bulgaria. It connects to the Mediterranean Sea which in turn bridges to the Atlantic Ocean, allowing access to many different ports in this region of Southeastern Europe! Cruising through the Iron Gates is a magnificent sight. While sailing through the Danube River, the gorges between the Carpathian Mountains and the Balkan Mountains create a natural border between Serbia and Romania.
Odesa has beautiful architecture and beaches while Yalta is surrounded by awe-inspiring mountains. From the fascinating city of Istanbul where European and Asian cultures meet, to the famous bridges and hilltop castle in Budapest, to the metropolitan city of Bucharest and the old plazas and squares in Belgrade, there are so many amazing sights to be experienced on a Black Sea River Cruise. As always, your cruise director can advise activities to partake in- onshore and onboard. With the many entertainment and dining options, luxury rooms, and friendly service onboard, there will never be a dull moment!
