Enjoyable evening cruise

We really enjoyed our evening cruise with a free glass of champagne. We took the one departing at 7.20pm just as all the buildings along the river bank were lightning lighting up. Be sure to get there 30 minutes before departure in order to get the seat of your choice (upper deck?). I understand that this is the only cruise offering a covered waiting area which would be good when the weather is not so nice.

Not as advertised!

We were very dissatisfied with this booking. It was advertised as a 1 1/2 hour tour with a 30 minute guided tour of Margaret Island. Although we viewed the island, the boat did not stop on the island and no guided tour occurred. The entire cruise lasted only one hour.

Just Ok

It was just ok. Everything you see on the cruise, you can see just walking down the riverbank and see it yourself.

Fantastic Evening Cruise on Danube

Great cruise 6:30 pm sailing. Captain turned around at each end to make sure everyone had great views and photo opportunities. Crew was friendly and the audio commentary was very informative.

Smooth cruise, nice and friendly staff. And free drinks.
