  • R

    Robyn

    Asked on November 29th, 2025

    I am interested in this 6-day Danube River cruise and intend to book for my next year's trip. Do you have detailed arrival and departure time for each day/stop? I am just wondering if there is enough time that I can stay at each city.

    Tour Details
    • DCS TouristikOperator•Written December 2025

      Please know that our river cruises for 2026 have not been listed yet on Tourradar. Please see the attachement for our 6 days itinerary on the Danube for 2026.

  • T

    Tyler

    Asked on September 16th, 2025

    Will the Christmas on the Danube cruise allow us to experience the Christmas markets?

    Tour Details
    • DCS TouristikOperator•Written September 2025

      Yes there are definitely possibilities to experience local christmas markets. In Vienna our docking is planned very central at the Handelskai and with local transport you reach the spots in no time. In Budapest where we dock almost full day the christmas markets are open until late december so you should be able to have a great time there, too.
