Cost of European River Cruises by Month

Editorial Summary

Melissa Bomb provides a detailed breakdown of the costs associated with European river cruises, specifically comparing Amma Waterways, Avalon Waterways, and Viking River Cruises. The analysis focuses on standard staterooms for a seven night cruise on the Danube River. The creator notes that average pricing typically ranges between 4,000 and 6,000 Canadian dollars per person. While many travelers assume summer is the most expensive period, the data indicates that September is actually the most expensive month to book. The creator explains that while May and June prices are similar to the summer months, companies like Amma and Avalon often offer significant savings or additional inclusions during the summer season. Viking River Cruises tends to reduce base fares rather than offering specific sales. The lowest pricing is generally found in March, April, early May, and during the late October to November period. A price increase is expected during the December Christmas Market season. Additionally, the creator mentions that upgrading from a standard stateroom to a veranda or balcony room typically adds between 1,000 and 1,500 Canadian dollars per person to the total cost.
