Pleasant Holidays and its luxury brand, Journese, today announced the expansion of vacation package offerings in Europe with the addition of a new destination in Eastern Europe: Bucharest, Romania. Located near the port of Giurgiu, a key embarkation and disembarkation point for Danube River cruises, Bucharest has a thriving Old Town, iconic architecture and a lively nightlife. It is the cultural center of this historic eastern European country.

“Bucharest is conveniently close to a number of ports along the lower Danube River and a favorite pre- and post-cruise destination,” said Jack E. Richards, President and CEO. “Romania also boasts lush river valleys, majestic mountain ranges, historic churches and awe-inspiring palaces and castles dating as far back as the 13^th Century. It’s an ideal addition to our Europe lineup at a time when the continent is proving highly popular with U.S. travelers.”

Pleasant Holidays offers online booking and instant reservations at six Bucharest hotels ranging from 3- to 5-stars, including Hilton Garden Inn Bucharest Old Town, Moxy Bucharest Old Town and Sheraton Bucharest Hotel, while both Pleasant Holidays and Journese offer InterContinental Athénée Palace Bucharest, an IHG Hotel; JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel and The Marmorosch Bucharest, Autograph Collection.
