The Danube Delta River Cruise - where it takes place and when to go

Once the Danube has made its way from Germany through Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia and Romania, it discharges into the Black Sea via a broad delta. An area of around 5000 km² contains three main arms, numerous side arms, floating islands and lakes. The best time for a Danube Delta River Cruise is between April and October.

The northernmost arm of the Danube delta is the Kilija arm, the most capacious of the three great arms. The town of Sulina lies at the mouth of the central delta arm, the Sulina arm. It has about 5000 inhabitants and is only accessible by boat. The old lighthouse, some old villas at the quay and the large cemetery bear witness to the town's past as an important river and sea port. St. George's arm is the southernmost of the three arms.
