Cruisin’ on the Danube River

on August 10, 2018

A river cruise is a truly unique experience much different from touring by bus or car. You will stop at ports to see different cities each day and also get to watch the scenery and small towns pass by while on board. You also have a beautiful ship to go back to while you are whisked away to your next destination while you sleep or rest! This picture was taken of our very own Gate 1 Travel ship, the Monarch Baroness, on the Danube River (this picture was taken in Passau, Germany). An intimate cruise on an extraordinary river like the Danube might just become your new favorite way of traveling.
