The Danube from Romania to Budapest Cruise Review

“Me and my brother really like to travel so we decided to cruise together since it meant we could spend time together, too. This cruise was phenomenal and there was always something for each of us to do. Mark’s much more active than I am so he liked all the walking tours while I usually did things like the food tours and the lecture we had onboard. Wonderful cruise, would love to take the rest of the family out on one next time.”

Walt and Markus Bistork, Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire
