Quality cruise
Published on Feb, 2025
There are plenty of cruise boats plying their trade on the Danube, but this is the one we chose because of the reviews. It's a smaller boat, but well appointed, with great staff who serve you at your seat. We saw, and heard! some of the other boats which had loud music and noisy guests, and for those who like their trips wild they would be great, but we're more reserved, and this cruise was perfect for us !
Enjoyable evening cruise
