Danube Symphony Cruise Review

“My stay was pretty good. Room was clean, staff friendly, on-board atmosphere peaceful and there were lots of activities to choose from. I especially liked that there were options for active excursions – since I prefer to keep my body moving, even when i’m on holiday.”

Mathew Jackson, Wiggan
