      The operator does not offer a reduced price for getting off early. July departure date is completely sold out. Would you be interested in alternative cruise on the Danube?

    Asked on July 12th, 2023

    What is the difference between Upper Deck 2 Adjustable Twin Beds Cat A and Cat B?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • CroisiEurope River CruisesOperator•Written July 2023

      The main difference between the cabin categories on all the decks are their location on the deck. Cabin Category A has a 'premium' location on the deck. (They are usually the cabins in the centre of the deck which is why their location is premium). Cabin Category B has an intermediate location on the deck. (They are in the back of the deck, right next to Cabin category C, and the front of the deck).

      Chloe

      Traveler•Written January 2023

      Can a room accommodate 2 adults with the 2 kids, or is it 2 guests per room? If it's 2 per room can we make sure the rooms are together? We would like the cheapest cabin level type. Is there cancelation insurance if there is an emergency?

      Traveler•Written February 2023

      Thank you. It says I need a login to see the excursions. It's only a 6 days cruise- are there multiple excursions offered each day? If we are only interested in 2 days of excursions is that an option?
