- Colin· September 14th, 2025The first issue was finding the embarkation point. Our taxi could not find it and made us get out in the middle of nowhere .There is another point north called Handelskai of the correct port .6.6 KMs away. We eventually found a young English speaking local who helped us get another taxi to the correct address.A bus pickup point in central Vienna would resolve this issue. I tried to advise this issue to Crucemundo but got no postive response. Similarly there was an issue at disembarkation point when the issue of getting our bags onsure was confusing . I had to ask a crew member to help out. Actually there was confusion throughout the Tour re various directions caused mainly I think to English speaking guests. Another issue was the seating arrangements through our own fault. We were seated at a table with two American couples . However they spoke Yiddish to each other which is foreign to us and ignored us. We were were moved at our request to another table by ourselves but this meant we never met anyone on the cruise to talk to. We presumed that there would be table rotation Overall the restaurant staff were great as was the cruise and our room.( except the Danish Group tour leader who thought he ran the boat and cruise and was rude to me re getting on our allocated bus for the first excursion.Show moreTrip date: September 2025
- AAnthony· September 7th, 2025Managment staff seemed totally disorganised. Seemed this was a learning exersise. The lady was rude and both at the tour counter were hard to contact. Most events were late starting. Meals were near impossible to be served what was actually ordered, and too forever to be served.Show moreTrip date: August 2025

- Patricia· July 2nd, 2025The excursions were mostly drive-bys of buildings and centers. We would love to have seen. I would not get the excursions again for that reason. For instance, we couldn’t see the opera house in Vienna because it required advanced bookings. Well, I did an advance booking for the excursions in plenty of time for them to have booked a tour. In fact, our tour operator told us she does Tours of the Opera House all the time. Also, two of the highlights were coming into Budapest at night and seeing the lights, and going through the locks on the Danube. We were not told in advance that we would be seeing these things and I think that would’ve been extremely helpful. Finally, it was very, very difficult to understand the English translations given by the cruise directors. There were several times that we looked at each other and said what did they just say. It would be helpful if there was a printout to back up the information that was given. For instance, when the captain discussed the safety operations on the boat, we didn’t understand a word of it. So I looked for something in the booklet in the room and it also did not have anything about Safety. First time I’ve ever been on a ship that did not do that.Show moreTrip date: June 2025
- Sheila· June 19th, 2025Well they were super nice, accommodating..It is just that the little things matter, that were missing: like have tap water available at lunch and dinner, the lack of signage in certain ports which made it confusing when other river boats were in port; the background musician at night who just played like a machine..But the wonderful things were the caring cruise director and staff, the food was very good and they accommodate special diets, the ports were great..All in all a good value for the money!Show moreCrucemundo commented on this reviewHi Sheila, thank you for your review and your valuable feedback.

Traveler•Written May 2025Can I just clarify - single on Emerald at €1573 is already discounted? Does single mean there are 2 single beds in the cabin?
- Crucemundo Operator•Written May 2025
Yes, €1573 is already a discounted price. It means one single bed in a cabin. But if you want to share a cabin, you can reserve any double cabin and slightly move the beds apart. Please note that beds are separate, but there isn't much space in the cabin to move apart due to nights stands and etc.

Traveler•Written May 2025May I know the price for a double cabin on the diamond deck, for Sept 20 Also may i know why you are quoting me in euros, while your trip on Tourradar is quoted in USD?

The total price for a Deluxe (double) cabin on Diamond deck is €3,506.00. The price would be around ~4000 USD. Crucemundo officially operates in EURO. Our partner TourRadar converts the price to the currency of the browser's IP address.
