Danube River Cruise Travel Tips
- Taking comfortable shoes on your Danube River cruise is a must as many of the cities you’ll be visiting are historic old towns with cobblestoned streets.
- While river cruising is generally a lot calmer than ocean adventures, don’t forget your sea-sickness medication as you could still feel the motion of the water, particularly when other ships pass or you’re manoeuvring through locks.
- While balcony rooms are usually highly desired on most cruises, river cruises might change your opinion on that due to the number of bugs and wildlife you could be letting in. (remember the climate here is hot and buzzing insects thrive!)
- Don’t forget your binoculars as they’ll come in handy when passing through particularly scenic landscape particularly in Austria and the wine country.
