Jerrol· July 8th, 2025Overall we enjoyed our trip. If you get a half off deal or 2 for 1 deal then it’s worth the price. The best part for us was relaxing in our cabin and watching the river. It’s very peaceful. The food is good and most of the staff were pleasant. Dinners were so noisy that we were almost yelling at one another so we could hear. The last few nights I dreaded going to dinner due to the level of noise. We met lots of friendly people on the ship so if you’re social you’ll enjoy making new friends. We were very dissatisfied with the hotels on the front and back end of our trip because they didn’t match the quality of the cruise and ship. I wish I had booked our hotels in Bucharest and Budapest because the hotels that were part of the tour were tacky and sub-standard and didn’t match the quality of the rest of the tour.Show moreTrip date: June 2025- LRLorna· May 8th, 2024Great food, entertainment.Show moreTrip date: March 2024

- Frederick· May 21st, 2019Emerald Waterways did a wonderful job in housing, feeding, entertaining, and transporting us. I would definitely consider using them again, and would highly recommend them to potential travelers. The Itinerary was rated Average because, frankly, there are simply not a lot of interesting attractions along that route of the Danube. We took the trip because we wanted to see a part of the world neither of us had seen. Well, we saw enough to know we never wanted to visit that part of the world again. I have to give a special thanks to the whole crew of the Emerald Destiny for accommodating my illness. Unfortunately, I contracted an intestinal infection that was painful and kept me having to be near a WC at all times. They fixed a special diet for me, and arranged to have me taken to hospital in Ruse, Hungary where I was examined and got medicines prescribed. We could have never figured out how to get to the hospital and find the right clinic by ourselves. Great job!Show moreTrip date: May 2019
