Emerald Danube River Cruise: Budapest to Passau
Source: Our analysis of the creator's lived experience, based on what they said in this video.
Creator's Key Takeaways
The ship provides free Wi-Fi, but it was spotty throughout the journey.
Jennifer and I mostly ordered the chef's recommendations, and we found the food overall tasty and presented well.
A must do when visiting Budapest is to take a night cruise on the Danube River.
This is a 3/4 day excursion that other cruise lines charge as an optional tour. Take advantage of visiting this world heritage site at no extra cost.
