    Single supplement
    • CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written November 2022

      In regards to your questions I would love to explain below via bullet points more details:

      1. Departure Date:
      I can see that 30th May 2023 is still available but not all cabin categories can be booked, some of them are already limited. (No Single Category C)

      2. Cabin Categories:
      As this cruise is operated by MS France you can see here all available cabin pictures. Please bear in mind that a cruise offers per ship per deck different cabin categories. The difference is simply the location of the cabin on each deck. You can see here the detailed deck plan.

      Once you have selected a certain cabin we would be happy to provide you with a personal quote.

      If you have any further questions, please just let us know and we will gladly assist.

    Colin

    Asked on August 6th, 2022

    Where exactly would passengers need to board the cruise on Day 1? Do you have the port address to share so that I can see how far it is from my accommodation?

    Flights / Transfers
    • CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written August 2022

      Travellers will receive the embarkation/disembarkation address along with their final documentation. As CroisiEurope River Cruises must work with the local port authorities they cannot release the joining address until approximately 30 days prior to departure.

  • K

    Kim

    Asked on August 6th, 2022

    I already bought this tour for my brother for the 14 August, I am wondering where exactly to board the tour in Budapest, Hungary (Port name, address) as he has never been to Hungary before.

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written August 2022

      I have sent him a message regarding his final documents. Unfortunately, we are still waiting for them. But as soon as we receive them, he will receive a message!

  • M

    Matt

    Asked on July 27th, 2022

    Is it possible to swap a traveler's details, and if possible, what fees may be included?

    Payments
    • CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written July 2022

      If you place a booking and have to change passengers at a later stage it's usually no problem but may carry a fee. I can't advise how much I'm afraid as it's the operator's decision and would depend on the reason and time of the request, but typically it wouldn't be more than EUR 50 or so.

    • CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written July 2022

      The prices vary per departure date, much as the rates for a flight do, and the advised 'from' price is always the lowest available date. The advised price, if you do not select a Cabin category, is always the entry level when 2 people share a cabin. If you select a cabin on a higher deck or if you're a solo traveler the price will have supplements.

    Asked on July 9th, 2022

    Can we get halal food on board?

    Meals
    • CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written July 2022

      I have sent it off to the operator for them to advise if it is something they can accommodate. They will be getting back to you directly in the next 24-48 business hours with a response.

  • L

    Lee

    Asked on July 4th, 2022

    I use a stick to get round will there be access? I can't use a lift

    Tour Details
    • CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written July 2022

      There are always stairs onboard and not all ships even have a lift so as long as you are OK with stairs you are fine to join the cruise.

      As for a stick or cane that shouldn't be an issue at all, generally the guests on these river cruises are senior citizens and it's typical that a few guests are slow walkers and the operators also organize the cruises and excursions with this in mind.
