A day's sailing to the Danube delta.

After flowing some 3,000 km through Europe, a third of it in Romania, the Danube empties into the Black Sea, not without having created, only 5,500 years ago, an aquatic paradise of some 3,500 km2 declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 1991. It is made up of three main arms: Sulina in the center, Chilia in the north and Saint George in the south.

With its multitude of small canals, lakes and tongues of land, the delta forms a variety of ecosystems that benefit numerous plant and animal species, as well as the specific activities of the delta's inhabitants.

You'll find the world's largest surface area of reeds, providing an extraordinary nesting and protective environment for many species of birds, mammals and amphibians, as well as a material that has been used for construction for centuries. In the afternoon, you'll cruise the Saint George Canal, the most beautiful branch of the delta. Dinner and folklore evening.
