Is a single person able to join the tour?

We can only sell Emerald Cruises to passengers from the United States and Canada. We offer an alternative tour: Danube City & Nature 2026 from 25th April-13th May 2026.

I can't find any information about the types of cabins. Does the one included in the quote have windows? Also what are the types of excursions eg included then active etc etc and where do you add these?

Which cabin would you prefer? You can view all cabin types. Emerald Cruises tend to be on the more expensive side as they have almost EVERYTHING included.
