    Maria

    Asked on October 16th, 2024

    Can you please advise for solo travellers: I am looking at the Budapest to Passau cruise by Viking. I am a solo traveler and I know Viking does not offer solo cabins, are there other discounts available to solos, and or seniors? I am looking at April dates and I am flexible.

    Price / Availability
    Single supplement
    • Viking CruisesOperatorWritten October 2024

      As it is operated by Viking Cruises, unfortunately, due to regional contractual restrictions set in place by Viking Cruises, we are currently only able to sell this product to Australian or New Zealand travellers. I'm afraid that the single supplement is mandatory in all of our cruise lines.
