    I did the Danube Christmas Markets River Cruise trip as a solo traveler December 2023. It was a great time! The standard of accommodation and the quality of ship and its crew exceeded my expectations. A great trip, that I would recommend to anyone who wants to explore Europe’s Christmas Markets.

    Tour radar had me so confused I ended up booking 2 days extra. The communication was pitiful. The ship was fine. Good food, except breakfast. The crew were wonderful

    Thanks for your feedback Janice. We quoted you the two extra hotel nights as you wanted to arrive early and booked the land only portion of the trip (not with airfare). It is unfortunate you feel this way. Your feedback pertains to Tour Radar, not Tours... Show more

      Do you provide wine at dinner or is there an additional charge

    • Tours of DistinctionOperatorWritten October 2023

      You would want to fly into Vienna and arrive the 30 November; then transfer to the boat. Embarkation is at 6pm. Depending on your flight arrival time, you would have some time to explore the city prior to boarding the ship. There is a group transfer that is included from the airport to the ship.

    • Tours of DistinctionOperatorWritten October 2023

      There is not an open bar on the ship. I believe wine is included at dinner but want to confirm.

      What is the dress code on the ship

    • Tours of DistinctionOperatorWritten October 2023

      There really is no dress code. That said, most change for dinner into some a little more formal. But, you still do not have to. To each their own.

      Does that mean tux or jacket and tie

    • Tours of DistinctionOperatorWritten October 2023

      A jacket and button-down shirt would be just fine. You can put a tie on if you wanted. My husband would wear jeans, a button-down and sport coat. No tux required :)
