Dear friends,

Together with our general partner, the cruise company "Sozvezdie," we present a new exclusive cruise along the Danube, which begins and ends in the heart of the Balkans – Belgrade.

The River Sapphire's visa-free route is specially designed for Russian tourists: only a passport is required for travel.

Direct flights from Moscow and St. Petersburg to the capital of Serbia will save you from tedious transfers.

Discover the charm of Serbia on a cruise from March 25 to April 1, 2026, when the Danube comes alive after winter, filling the surrounding landscape with a special romance.

Exploring Belgrade, enjoying the stunning views from a boat, strolling through cozy provincial towns, medieval monasteries and fortresses, welcoming locals, and renowned cuisine will allow you to delve deeper into the rich history and distinctive culture of the Balkan region.

Throughout the cruise, the River Sapphire will be exclusively at the disposal of Sozvezdie Cruise Line guests. On board, you'll experience a unique, intimate atmosphere among like-minded people passionate about cruising and travel.

A Danube cruise from Belgrade is a new page in the "Discovering the World with Sozvezdie" project:

An all-inclusive package tour with a maximum of services: a cruise with accommodation in a cabin of your choice, full board meals and an unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage package, excursions along the route, port fees and tips, transfers, and medical insurance. Support, care, and attention from the group leader and accompanying staff from Sozvezdie throughout the entire itinerary include an informational chat with pre-cruise preparation, meeting tourists at Belgrade airport, assistance throughout the entire tour program, and assistance with any questions onboard. Service is fully Russian-language, including excursions and an onboard newspaper in Russian.

During the 8-day cruise you will visit:

Belgrade is one of the oldest cities in Europe, located at the picturesque confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers. It is a welcoming city with a unique character, where Austro-Hungarian architecture juxtaposes the heritage of socialist Yugoslavia, and Roman ruins juxtapose with Ottoman-era monuments.
Novi Sad is the second largest city in Serbia and has been dubbed the “Serbian Athens” for its rich cultural heritage and lively atmosphere. A walk through the old town and the powerful Petrovaradin Fortress will give you vivid impressions of visiting the real “pearl of the Danube”.
Smederevo is a city at the confluence of the Danube and the Great Morava, where one of the most significant monuments of Serbian national history is located – the Smeredevo Fortress. A walk through its territory allows you to literally touch history, and from the ramparts you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Danube and its opposite bank.

Golubac is one of the most picturesque and memorable stops on the Danube route. Approaching the medieval fortress by water, as if growing out of the rocks above the Danube, is an unforgettable sight.
Kladovo is the eastern gate to the majestic Djerdap Gorge (Iron Gate), one of the main natural attractions of Europe. Passing through the gorge is always the highlight of any Danube cruise, when one of the most stunning panoramas in all of Europe opens up from the deck of the ship.
Veliko Gradiste is the starting point for an excursion to Viminacium, taking you back 2000 years to when the Danube was the northern border of the Roman Empire. Among the thermal baths, residential buildings and unique artifacts, ancient history comes to life before your eyes.
