I can't find any bike and barge in Austria in June 2026. Is there a reason

Currently, these tours are limited in Austria due to the country's primary use of its waterways, like the Danube, for larger river cruise ships instead of the smaller barges needed for bike and barge adventures. Typically, routes that include Austria start in Germany (Passau) and end in Vienna, which is why they are often listed under Germany. Austria doesn't have the same barge infrastructure as the Netherlands or Belgium. As for the availability, many operators have not yet published their June 2026 schedules, but more options are expected to become available closer to the departure date. Additionally, please be aware that this particular tour is offered by a German operator, with communication and the tour itself conducted in German.

Can you please quote 5 upper cabins for 10 people Leaving September 5th on the MS Katharina. We would all need e-bikes, freewheeling. Is there a discount for groups?

Unfortunately, that specific trip is no longer available. However, I'd be happy to help you find similar alternative cruise options. To narrow down the best matches, could you please let me know: What type of cruise you're looking for (destination/route, duration, style), and Your approximate budget?

I am interested in this tour in May but it says not available from this area. What does that mean?

The tour you're looking at is operated by a German operator and is exclusively conducted in German. Unfortunately, this means that it is not available to residents of Australia at this time.
