Cruising the Iron Gates river cruises, Serbia

What's great about Cruising the Iron Gates river cruises?

This stretch of the Danube River feels like you’re on the waterways of Middle Earth, with dramatic tree-clad slopes and rock carvings along the banks. It’s like a ready-made border between Romania and Serbia, and gets its name from the steep gorge that forms a natural gateway on either side. Because it’s more scenery than civilisation, there’s no port to hop off at – the best views are from the water. One of the most iconic features is the Sculpture of Decebalus – a 140-foot carving of the ancient king’s face. You can also see the remnants of a Roman bridge and the ramparts of Golubac Fortress – a Medieval town that looks like something from Game of Thrones.
