Danube Bike & Boat

A typical day onboard starts with an energizing breakfast to fuel you for the day ahead! Before getting your bike from the storage, you will be asked to select your preferred choices for your three-course dinner at night. Our Danube Bike & Boat tours also include a picnic lunch or an on-board lunch for those skipping a day of cycling. You could also visit some local eateries, it is entirely up to you!

After a day of exploration and sightseeing, you return to the comfort of your 'floating hotel' with time to unwind and refresh before dinner. Catch up on the day's events with your travel companions and perhaps enjoy a drink on the deck as the sun goes down.

Nothing guarantees a good night's sleep like a day of activity, so climb into your comfortable cabin ready to awake refreshed for a new day. Some nights may have optional activities such as guided tours or a classical waltz and operetta concert in Vienna.

These trips are all about a simple, care-free experience with plenty of relaxation!

The Danube Cycle Path is Europe's most popular cycle route. Whether you embark on one of our land-based tours or enjoy the best of both worlds on a cruise, the choice is yours. 

Easy Cycling - Cycling along the Danube is easy-going as you will be following riverside paths that are predominantly flat and traffic-free. This makes the trip quite relaxing and suitable for mixed abilities and families. There are various ways of shortening daily cycles by taking ferries or catching a train and on Bike & Boat trips you can also decide to stay on board and skip a day of cycling.

Convenience - On our Danube Cycle Path trips you can set off each day knowing that your luggage will be transferred to the next hotel for you. If you would prefer to only unpack your suitcase once, our Bike & Boat trips might be ideal for you. The boat drops you off at the start of your cycling route and you will have a table reserved on board at the end of the day. 

Meet New People - Many people enjoy our Danube holidays as a great way to meet new, like-minded people - whether these are locals or fellow cyclists. On Bike & Boat Cruises the trip becomes a shared experience with plenty of social spaces including the restaurant, lounge area, and sun-deck, but with the privacy of a private cabin when you need your own space. 

Experienced Crew - Specific to our Bike & Boat itineraries are the experienced crew and tour guide that can give some extra reassurance when it comes to local knowledge and navigation. The tour guide cycles the daily routes which can be particularly useful to learn about extra insights.
