Bulgarian Danube Cruise Company Finds Ways to Extend Season
BalkanTravellers.com
In this way, like with the Christmas and Easter cruises organised by the company, Dunav Tours will manage to extend the tourism season for its five vessels intended for passenger cruising along Europe’s internal water ways.
The new season for Dunav Tours this year will start on March 20 with a cruise from Vienna in Austria through Esztergom in Hungary, Belgrade in Serbia and Passau in Germany, the Dnevnik newspaper reported recently.
The ship “Sofia” will host the international Danube music festival. Musicians from the eight countries located along the Danube will join and play together, to explore their musical and cultural traditions. They will be joined by guests from Armenia, Russia, Greece and other countries.
This will be the floating festival’s second edition with the participation of jazz, classical and folk musicians. Between March 20 and April 1, guests will have the chance to come on board the ship for 3, 4, 6 days or for its entire duration.
As BalkanTravellers.com reported in February, Dunav Tours this season will begin offering tours all the way to the Danube Delta and the town of Vylkove in the Lower Danube, while it previously carried out cruises only on the upper part of the river.

The Red and White Strings that Welcome Spring in Bulgaria and Romania
I remember walking along Canal Street in New York’s Chinatown on March 2 a few years ago, when I saw a man sporting a small ornament made of red and white thread pinned to his coat lapel. He must be Bulgarian, I thought to myself with a sudden rush of homesickness, but now realize that he may have been Romanian as well.

The Choir that Turned England a Bit Bulgarian
One of the few constant sources of pride for Bulgarians is traditional folk music, and especially singing. But not the Oriental-beats-modified kind that often booms in nightclubs, giving their clientele the urge to jump atop tables and chairs and sway their hips around; rather the kind that, when heard, mesmerises you and gives you goose bumps, the kind that is haunting with its out-of-this universe quality, mostly figuratively but sometimes literally as well.
