    Very relaxing. Food was ok not great. Wines were good. Even though there is no laundry service our clothes were washed for us by the crew that was a relief as we’ve been travelling for 2 months. Romanian guide was rude especially to the elderly.

    Stephanie

    Asked on July 21st, 2025

    I'm very interested in the Blue Danube to Black Sea – Classic Cruise with CroisiEurope, departing in 2026. We are a family of 3 (2 adults + 1 child over 6 years old), and we are planning to book during the low season to secure a better rate. Could you please: 1. Hold a cabin temporarily for us, while we finalize our travel plan? 2. Let me know if there are any early bird discounts, family packages, or free upgrade offers for this cruise? 3. Confirm whether child discounts or free child fares apply for this itinerary? We are flexible with departure dates around late June to early July 2026, and can adjust slightly depending on cabin availability and the best deal.
