Im looking at only solo Traveller deals where singles supplement is heavily reduced or waived. Dates are April or October both in 2025.

I do have questions: 1. The actual ID# you provided doesnt bring up anything!? 2. When I click on your link for itinerary it actually takes me to a different cruise: Danube Discovery!? Some 0f the information in the two 'links' you provide differs from the information for 'The beautiful blue Danube cruise' info panel on the left-hand side; 3. In your links: The ships cabin info is a bit ambigueous as the image of the cabin with round window showed a different category than the info panel on left for Beautiful Blue Danube;. Im not concerned about it showing different ship but I do need to know if this actual perperson price is not for 3-bed Cat C - C. 4. Id like to have prices for the optional tours as it looks as though there arent any tours included.

Are gratuities included and are your holidays ABTA covered?

As we are not a British-based travel agency or operator we are not covered under ABTA, only under TICO. Gratuities, shore excursions, and flights are not included.

Are the prices in $ US? What are they in $Aus?

The prices should appear to you in AUD as you are located in Australia. The base price of the operator is in Euro and will be converted to AUD.

Prices are all insane. A trip for a couple of weeks at a cost of around $30,000.00 is just too high. We can do 2 trips for that.

30,000/- AUD is indeed extremely high for a single passenger and sounds like the price for 3 cruises if not 2. Perhaps you are looking at another high-end operator's itinerary and pricing. If you could let us know your budget we could share itineraries from Croisi that meet that budget.

Is it possible to go oneway tour, only from Passau to Bratislava or Budapest, but not back?

This cruise goes from Passau to Budapest. It does not go back to Passau on the last day of the cruise.

Do your cabins have showers?

All cabins will have their own private shower.

What exactly is the start and end time of this adventure?

The start time for this adventure on June 17th is at 4:00 p.m. in Passau. Last day June 22nd at 9:00 a.m. End of their services.

Is it possible to join the tour from the 3rd day from vienna only?

In order to confirm for you if this is possible, I have sent this question to the operator to advise us if this is possible. Once we hear back, we will let you know.

What is the daily charge for WiFi? (Danube)

All of the company's European fleet are equipped with free Wi-Fi for passengers. This internet connection is available in all lounges/bars and receptions. The Wi-Fi is free to use.

I am interested in a quote please.

We kindly request that you provide us with the month in which you would like to travel. This information will allow us to check with the operator about the available dates in your preferred month, ensuring that we can provide you with an accurate quote.

The river cruise was an excellent way to visit Vienna and Budapest on a tight schedule, and to visit other less known places like Melk, Dürnstein and Esztergom. The crew of the Mona Lisa were always eager to please us, and we found the cabins, bar and restaurant very pleasant. Even though the majority of the passengers were French, the cruise crew always gave the instructions also in English. All in all, great experience!Show more

Beautiful cruise on the Danube. The all-inclusive package is pleasant. The food and choice of drinks are very good. The MS France dates back to 2001, and there are newer, more luxurious boats in port, but we have everything we need on ours, and we're comfortable. On the other hand, the showers in the standard cabins are really small and not suitable for people with reduced mobility or heavy build. We were on the main deck and found that those who had paid to be on the upper deck only had a larger window that could be opened. The excursions were well organized and interesting. Otherwise, a superb cruise purchased at a discount with TourRadar! Thank you so much!Show more

con: 1. AC was not working properly in restaurant and lounge, making air very hot and humid (some days t was around +28C inside the ship) 2. WIFI internet was a joke, working intermittently with average speed around 1-2 mb/s (what about starlink?) 3. Bartenders and waiters must speak decent English to explain dishes/menu/drinks and able to talk and accept orders. 4. There is only 1 usable electrical outlet in cabin (for hairdryer). how to charge guests laptop, cellphone, etc.? 5. Best internet speed and AC were at library room, but AC was constantly leaking from the ceiling over their. 6. Dining tables for 4 and 6 people was the same size: we had to ask to move our group of 6 people to larger table. nobody ever were aware about this? 7. Need more waiters during lunch and dinner, sometimes they are overwhelmed (was only 8 waiters for 170 guests). 8. Because it was no internet signal sometimes, it was not possible to call local 911 for emergency evacuation of elderly passenger (during cruising in Bulgaria). 9. Nice 9 hours trip to Belgrade-Novi Sad was spoiled because it was no separate English-speaking guide, so beautiful tour guide (by the way, the best guide for all 10 days) must constantly speak French and English concurrently (very difficult to listen for such a long time). 10. Few tour buses had very poor AC, broken seats and usually bus windows were dirty. 11. Cabin shower drainage need to be cleaned periodically, since it was clogged all the time. 12. Waking up on vacation every Morning at 7 am in order to depart for excursions at 8 am was very hard (may be move tours for 1 hour later). pro: 13. Nice tasty French cuisine with new dishes every day at lunch-dinner. 14. Free bar with choice of wine, beer, cocktails, cognac. 15. Amazing excursions with professional guides. 16. Daily room service upon request. 17. Strong AC in a cabins. 18. Relaxing entertainment at the evenings. 19. Good full buffet breakfast. 20. Pleasing crew working hard to fix ownership's/ship's flaws.Show more

  The beautiful blue Danube cruise is completely sold out for October of 2025. So I sent you an alternative cruise operator(A-Rosa) that does the Danube. If you are open to travelling in the month of September, we see space on the 27th Sept-4th Oct 2025 for the The beautiful blue Danube. The most economical cabin is the Main Deck 2 Adjustable Twin Beds Cabin Category C-Single priced at AUD 3,536/-
- CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written January 2025
  All Shore Excursions are at an additional cost. CroisiEurope offers individual shore excursions in two categories: Classic & Discovery, the classic excursions are usually more gentle and slow pace while Discovery will involve more walking. You can book the excursions in advance or on board, the benefit of booking them earlier rather than on board is the reduced price.
