      TravelerWritten February 2025

      why has the price almost doubled for 2 singles, we really only need a bed as we will be on top deck most of the time. are there any cheaper cabins please.

    • APTOperatorWritten February 2025

      The operator has a limited number of single cabins so the price range mentioned is the best that they can offer. Alternative operators for a similar itinerary and duration also are in that same price range. Would you like a cruise that is shorter in duration but more economical in price for April or May of 2026

    Would it be possible to play cricket matches in various places along the Danube some of the days of a cruise

    Tour Details
    • APTOperatorWritten December 2024

      When it comes to the itinerary, it is pretty set up. There is some free time arranged, however, the chances of being near a cricket field along the Danube are very slim.

      TravelerWritten December 2024

      The cricket matches are not negotiable and I will have to look elsewhere
