- SCSusan· December 17th, 2019The cabins were nice, the staff were very good, the food was delicious, the tours were interesting, and the Cruise Director, in particular, was excellent. Would not recommend going as a single traveller, however, as vast majority were couples or friends travelling together, so it was quite cliquey with the same people sitting together at meals, especially dinner. Plus, it was 90% Australians and Kiwis, and a broader mix of nationalities would have made it more interesting. The best part was seeing all of the various cities and towns along the rivers. Very nice trip overall.Show moreTrip date: December 2019

Asked on September 2nd, 2023Would it be possible to come on board at cologne and stay at cruise a few days, till Passau or Vienna?
- Travel MarvelOperator•Written September 2023
Unfortunately, when you book a cruise cabin, you would be booking the cruise for the full duration of the cruise. There is no way to reserve for only part of the itinerary. You can join and depart wherever you want, however, the price will be the full cruise price.

Traveler•Written April 2023I note that the one review for the cruise mentions that I would expect to find most people would travel with others. I'm OK looking after myself but having that on the review does make me hesitate.
- Travel MarvelOperator•Written April 2023
The number of solo travellers booked on this tour varies a lot, as it can depend on the time that you go throughout the year. We can always reach out to Travel Marvel and ask on your behalf whether there are other solo travellers booked on for the same departure date as you.

Donna
Asked on February 7th, 2023What cabin type is this for and do you have to pay for an upgrade?
- Travel MarvelOperator•Written February 2023
The base price is normally for the lowest cabin category on the ship which generally has just a high window (Category E and D). If you want to upgrade to a balcony room it would come at an extra cost and the upgrade would depend on which cabin you choose as each category would be a different amount.
