    Asked on January 13th, 2026

    Are you able to get a cheaper quote for us... please? We already have a quote from Viking for $9166 each for 7 days with 3 solo rooms... We are flexible with dates, tour length and route except we wish to start in Budapest.

    Single supplement
    • Scenic Luxury Cruises & ToursOperatorWritten January 2026

      There are VERY limited single cabins available. I am working to see if I can get a quote for three. Scenic Luxury Cruises will always be more in price compared to Viking. This is because Scenic is truley ALL inclusive and Ultra Luxury! Viking cruises will have add-ons and Premium/Upscale.
