This week’s broadcast of Eye on Travel is from the MS Riviera Radiance as it sails the Danube River from Romania to Hungary, and on the way, Croatia, Serbia, shore excursions into Bulgaria, and even touching the Ukraine border. Simon Calder, Travel Correspondent for The Independent, reveals the Danube’s hidden allure, and the unexpected turn that once led to his arrest in Romania. Correspondent Kerry Sanders and I waltz down the not-so-blue Danube, taking in the history from the ancient Greeks to the Russians. Amir Eylon, President and CEO of Longwoods International, details how the government shutdown pushed already-stretched travelers to change their plans and what this means for Thanksgiving travel, both in the air and on the ground. There’s all this and more on this edition of Eye on Travel.
