Danube River Cruises
Danube River cruises have become an increasingly popular choice of itinerary in recent years due to the magnificent scenery that populates every twist and turn of this historic waterway. The second largest river in Europe, the Danube is best seen from the deck of a river cruise vessel where you can take advantage of clear, unobstructed views of the passing castles, old towns and vineyards that are such a feature of northern Europe.
The Danube River runs between the mountains of Germany’s enchanting Black Forest down to the Black Sea, passing through the borders of 10 countries in total and 4 capital cities.
Cruises on the Danube can differ in duration, though typically you’ll travel through countries such as Hungary and Austria, whilst stopping at ports of call in cities such as Budapest, Belgrade and Vienna.
As with many river cruise itineraries (and partly due to the routes popularity) you’ll find that there is a number of cruise lines offering Danube River cruises. We recommend river lines such as
AMA Waterways and Tauck for Danube cruises, both of which have itineraries between late-Spring and early-Winter.
Excursions on Danube River Cruises
Of course, one of the best things about cruising a river such as the Danube is the amount of emphasis put on the days when you’re given the opportunity to explore a port, town or city in more detail. For example, many lines’ shore excursion program includes activities such as wine-tasting and classical recitals as well as guided sight-seeing tours of historical sights including the Mirabell Gardens in Salzberg and the magical castle of Prague that looms so impressively over the over the city.
May and June are generally regarded as the best months for cruises on the Danube River, though those looking for
cruise deals will find that the months in early spring are great for finding discounted itineraries and special offers.
