Joanna Lumley’s Danube Adventure Brings Elegance and Insight to ITV1
So, let me tell you about something quite special happening on television this week — it’s Joanna Lumley’s new travel series, Joanna Lumley’s Danube , airing Friday at 9:00pm on ITV1. And let me just say, if you're even remotely interested in travel, culture, or simply watching something that feels like a warm embrace through your screen, you won’t want to miss this.
Joanna Lumley has this remarkable way of making every journey feel intimate, like she’s telling you a personal story rather than hosting a travel programme. And in this new series, she follows the path of the iconic Danube River — one of Europe’s most storied and beautiful waterways. It’s not just a trip across borders; it’s a journey through history, politics, art, and humanity.

You might know Joanna from her unforgettable roles in shows like Absolutely Fabulous , but what’s truly fabulous here is her unfiltered curiosity and grace as she explores the many countries touched by the Danube. From the Black Forest in Germany to the Black Sea in Romania, she’s not just admiring the view — she’s engaging with locals, diving into centuries of history, and weaving thoughtful commentary into every stop she makes. It’s not about sightseeing, it's about soul-seeing.
What’s lovely about this is that it reminds us of how travel can be meaningful, even on screen. It’s not just a visual treat — although it definitely is, with stunning shots of riverbanks, castles, bustling cities and quiet villages — but it’s also emotionally resonant. You learn something, you feel something, and you walk away wanting to know more.
So yes, this Friday night, pour yourself a glass of wine, curl up on the sofa, and let Joanna Lumley take you down the Danube. It’s not just a show — it’s a moment of reflection and celebration of Europe’s deep, complicated, and beautiful heritage. Trust me, this is travel TV done right.
