About this tour

Accompanied by a cruise ship you cycle along Europe’s second largest river Danube from the charming Bavarian “three river city” of Passau straight into the heart of the once glorious Imperial and Royal Monarchy.

Enjoy three of the most enchanting European capitals: the lively Vienna, the Slovak coronation city of Bratislava at the foot of the Carpathian Mountains and Budapest, the “Hungarian Danube Queen”! By bicycle you discover the stunning natural spectacle of the Schlögener Donauschlinge (“Great Loop”), the legendary Wachau with romantic towns and mighty castles amidst lovely vineyards, the untouched alluvial forests of the Danube National Park, as well as the baroque town of Vác with its colourful 18th century houses.

The highlights of the tour: Passau, the City of 3 rivers, the Schloegen Danube Loop, the Hungarian Danube Bend, the World Heritage Site Wachau, the metropolis of Bratislava, Budapest and Vienna.

The ship – Your sailing hotel
In between cycling excursions, you cruise along with the ship, which travels to a new destination every day. You dine, sleep and eat breakfast on board. You’ll receive a packed lunch every day, and you can usually choose between a longer or shorter bike ride. It’s also possible to spend a day on board if you like. There are rental bikes on board, but you can also bring your own if you mention it when booking.

Randall Robinson

Every member of the staff, from top to bottom was not only helpful but eager to lend a hand. The one thing that irritated me was how we were charged for so many things that should have been included in the original cost of the trip. For example, I asked for a glass of water. I got a very small one and then was charged a rather large amount for the water.

For the price of the tour, it was excellent. We got to see many different countries and be right in the heart of things.

The kindness of the personnel in the bar and the restaurant and the cleaning personnel, the excuisit meals, the good functioning of the people who loaded and unloaded the bikes each day.

The check in process was efficient and friendly. Our cabin was clean and had plenty of room for our bags. The bed was comfortable. Staff were all very friendly. Food which was provided was very tasty and plentiful. The ship itself was comfortable and spacious. We were extremely uncomfortable with the tipping etiquette – staff should be paid by the company and passengers should tip if they feel it is appropriate. The drinks package available should have had more items on it – such as a cocktail a day as well as more spirits.
