  • H

    Henry

    Asked on October 10th, 2025

    I have a general question to ask about cruising on the Danube. I am planning to travel April 2027. I would like to cruise Vienna to Nuremberg. I travel solo. Do you offer any cruise that would match my interest?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Lueftner CruisesOperator•Written October 2025

      We currently don't have any cruises departing from Vienna available for that time. Since we're still quite a while away from April 2027, it's normal for most cruise operators not to have set their departure dates this far in advance. We suggest checking back with us in 2026 for those 2027 dates.
