Creator's Key Takeaways

many of the questions we get from first-time River cruisers is about getting under the bridges and going through the lock

the Danube River starts in the Black Forest and in southern Germany and flows 2,800 kilometers are about 1,800 miles through Austria Slovakia Hungary Croatia Serbia and Bulgaria

if you're doing the Amsterdam to Budapest cruise along the Rhine and Danube rivers you'll pass through 68 locks in the two weeks that you're onboard the ship

the other big obstacle for River ships particularly than when the water is high is the endless succession of bridges that the ships just seem to squeak under

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Expect to pass through many locks on a Danube cruise, between 18 and 25 depending on start and end points.
