Danube Waltz Cruise Review

“I had an unforgettable holiday filled with brilliant experiences. Each day was chock full of adventures and my favourite was the horse-drawn carriage ride and seeing all the landmarks of all the different cities. The cruise ship’s staff and features were incredible too as well as the Library and Aquavit Terrace. Dining al fresco on a cruise ship is another experience entirely and I encourage anyone who’s considering it to try it out. A perfect holiday!”

Eleanor Bennett, Norwich, Norfolk
