Im going on my first river cruise solo in late August. I will be cruising the upper Danube on Emerald waterways. I chose a "Duck view" cabin so i could afford extra inclusions like a concert in Vienna and a visit to the mineral baths in Budapest. I also figured since I'm traveling solo, i would be taking advantage of the socializing on the lounge and upper decks. I have a small travel fan to combat the feeling of claustrophobia in the closed room.😊 I can't wait!

Hi Gwynaeth! This sounds like it is going to be an amazing trip for you. I love the standard room for the huge savings. Emerald is a great company and you are going to have the best time. I have always found other guests very welcoming and friendly, so I am sure you will have no problem meeting people.

I have done the Rhine + Oberammergau with Viking in 2022, then France's Finest (2 cruises on one trip) also with Viking, this April. Viking checks all my boxes, looking to book another soon. If there are *more* luxurious choices, I don't need that much luxury! Food and service, decor and amenities on Viking are perfect. And they find activities which I could not hope to replicate on my own, like lunch with a truffle farmer with him demonstrating how his dog finds the truffles after lunch. Charming!

[@TheRiverCruiseQueen]

I couldn't agree more. The services onboard are top notch and the staff treat the guests so well. Viking really does have the ability to open doors to experiences you cannot have anywhere else. Are you sailing with them again?

I did the Rhine cruise with Viking a few years ago and enjoyed it. I just returned from the Danube cruise with Emerald and would book with Emerald again. Gratuities were included, along with pool, movie nights and bikes. The rooms and ship layout were similar with both. The extras with Emerald and different excursions options, we will definitely book with them again.

[@TheRiverCruiseQueen]

Yes, those are all great inclusions with Emerald. I also love how their transfers are included even if you book your airfare separately. They are a great company for a lot of people! Did you know that they have the best early payment deals?

@@TheRiverCruiseQueen what do you mean by early payment deals?

[@TheRiverCruiseQueen]

@@dominiquehoward6914 They often have the option to pay in full 10-months ahead of your sailing and offer a big discount if you opt to do that! :)

I really like Viking. I have been on 2 Viking cruises and I have another cruise booked for July 2025Again with Viking.

[@TheRiverCruiseQueen]

Yes, Viking does a lot of things perfectly. I loved my sailing with them and absolutely loved their ships! Where are you sailing in 2025?
