If you're planning a Danube river cruise and trying to decide between Viking River Cruises, AmaWaterways, and Riverside Luxury Cruises, this episode of RTE-Travel Talk breaks it all down for you. Joined by river cruise specialist Christy Fitzharris of Wheels Up Travel Co., we compare these three popular river cruise lines side-by-side — looking at: • Cabin sizes and ship capacity • Crew-to-guest ratios • Inclusions (excursions, beverages, gratuities) • Onboard amenities and specialty dining • Luxury vs contemporary experience • Real per-person per-night cost comparison • Itinerary differences on the Danube We also explore who each cruise line is best suited for — from first-time river cruisers to travelers seeking a higher-touch luxury experience with butler service. If you're considering a 2026 or 2027 Danube sailing, this breakdown will help you better understand what you're paying for — and which river cruise line might be the best fit for your travel style.
