Explore the History, Heritage, and Culture of Vienna and the Blue Danube with Crui.se
There isn’t a residential doctor on board the Spirit of the Danube but there is a trained first aider. If you are bringing medication with you that you take regularly, it can be helpful to have details of this written down and kept in a prominent location in case you are taken ill during your holiday.
If an excursion is classified as a Walking Grade 4 or higher, then there will always be a Gentle Walker group tour as an alternative. Gentle Walker groups follow a slightly different itinerary selecting different highlights that avoid steep inclines or descents and at a slower pace. They also feature more solo exploration time, so some guests choose them anyway if they want the freedom to discover a location independently.
The balance is due no later than 90 days before your sailing date. You can pay online by clicking on ‘Manage My Booking’ or phone up and make a card payment.
