      We are happy to consider other river cruises, especially as I have already done this one. Any late October or November departure date is good for us.

    Christopher

    Asked on October 9th, 2023

    It isn't clear if there are shore excursions or if we spend the whole time on the boat. How many Christmas markets will we see? What other sites/things to see are there?

    Tour Details
    • A-ROSAOperator•Written October 2023

      All shore excursions are at an additional cost and booked onboard. You can reserve the shore excursions in advance, but they will be always paid on board. The itinerary allows you to take in the sights and sounds the Danube has to offer during Christmas. The excursions include visits to town squares and centres that are laden with Christmas decorations. One of the popular stops is Vienna where you will get to spend Christmas eve.
