Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Arrival in Belgrade

    You'll land at Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport where a Uniworld representative will be waiting for you. From there, it's a transfer to the S.S. Emilie for check-in and embarkation. Get settled into your cabin and familiarize yourself with the ship before the evening.

  2. Day 2

    Belgrade

    Belgrade's yours to explore today. The city sits on over 7,000 years of history, so you have options depending on what appeals to you. Take the guided city tour if you want to see the Royal Palace and Church of Saint Sava with context, or grab a bike and pedal around like a local if you prefer a more independent approach.

    Meals
    Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

    Optional Activities

    • Belgrade City Tour with Royal Palace & Church of Saint Sava
    • Let's Go: "I Bike Belgrade" Tour
    Landmarks/POIs

  3. Day 3

    Novi Sad

    The ship takes you to Novi Sad, which has a completely different feel from Belgrade. It's the capital of Vojvodina province and known for its laid-back vibe and vibrant street art. You can either dig into traditional Serbian culture or head out to Fruska Gora for a farm experience with lunch included.

    Budapest, Hungary

    Budapest's next, with the Danube splitting Buda and Pest into two distinct sides of the city. Both have their own character and plenty to see. Go for a panoramic tour covering Castle Hill if you want the overview, or take the cultural walk down Andrássy Avenue and visit an imperial library.

    Food was excellent at all times. Some excursions were better than others but majority of guides were great. At times, as in Vienna, docking was far and it made it difficult to get around.

    We highly recommend UniWorld cruises. The service and staff are impeccable, the daily tour offerings are well planned with knowledgeable tour guides, the meals well prepared and delicious, the accommodations clean and comfortable and the cost well worth paying a bit extra because the cruise is truly all inclusive. There are no hidden fees.
