What if I told you that you and your family could spend one week visiting 4 different European countries and you wouldn’t have to figure out how to travel from one location to another? Plus, you would only have to unpack once and your vacation would include a choice of different activities at each destination!
Let me introduce you and your family to river cruising on the Danube River. River cruising is much different than ocean cruising First of all, the ships are much smaller and the waters are much calmer. While ocean cruises take you to destinations, river cruises take you through European cities and villages providing spectacular views along the way.
Plus, these ships dock just steps away from city centers, so you will have plenty of time to explore the wonders of each destination. Many river cruises arrive early in the morning and oftentimes, don’t depart until after midnight, so you will have a full day of exploring each city.
