Summary/Abstract: In the context of the more and more diversified concerns, regionally and globally, for a sustainable development and the rational and responsible management of the natural resources, the global mar-ket of cruise tourism represents one of the most complex and dynamic sectors of the world econo-my. From Romania to Germany, covering over 2 800 km, the Danube has always been a tourist attraction. Today many new developments are putting it at the forefront of European river cruising. The EU Strategy for the Danube Region will bring together tourist organizations to maximize the opportunities for travel and discovery, spanning different cultures, capital cities, religions and lan-guages. This article draws the attention on the Danube Strategy and its importance for Romania, the tourist and cultural potentials of the Romanian Danube Region with regard to their type of tourism: cruises tourism - as appropriate for sustainable development of this, but insufficiently developed in parts of Romania, and the real possibilities of tourism cruise and potential culture in the Romanian Danube Region within the framework of the Danube Strategy, into sustainability development.
