With a continent full of life-changing travel experiences, knowing where to start a European trip can take the fun out of planning your vacation. With a limited number of days, you can only visit a few monumental sites per trip — and then there’s the fear of missing out on the other places you could’ve seen.

Along the Danube River, there are dozens of famous stops you’ll want to check out — but with limited time and resources, it’s important you figure out the stops that are worth it for you. The Fun for Less Danube River Cruise takes that stress out of planning, coordinating, booking and paying for every little excursion, hotel and activity so you can just enjoy your time.

Some historical highlights worth seeing

Sinaia, Buchrest is home to three castles, one of which is the Peles Castle. It is one of the most beautiful, historical castles in the world. 

Bran Castle, commonly known as Dracula’s Castle, is one of the stops many fiction and pop culture enthusiasts love to visit. It is one of the stops on the Exotic Danube River Cruise.

Hunedoara Castle is in the Transylvania Alps and was named one of the scariest places in the world. It held the real-life Dracula in prison for seven years — so it probably earned that title.

Museum Island in Berlin is one of the more breathtaking scenes with the historical buildings gently reflecting on the canal. The Romantic Danube River Cruise takes you through this stop.

The Austrian Alps are home to the “Sound of Music” real-life events. Not only was the film shot there, but the real Maria von Trapp actually lived there before fleeing from the war. People on the Romantic Danube River Cruise will see the church that Maria was married.

Among these sites are many, many more that interested travelers can see. Fun for Less passengers can choose the cruise that is more closely tailored to their interests.

Save money and time with a pre-planned trip

Fun For Less charters large numbers of cabins on the cruise ships, scoring discounts that even travel agents don’t have access to. Booking through them ensures your accommodations are taken care of and you won’t have to worry about last-minute reservation hiccups.

They even offer monthly payments to help fund your trip, so if you want to pay over time, just book a cruise or excursion that’s months away. 

Fun For Less travelers will appreciate that so many things are included in the cost of each tour. While each cruise is different, they include small (yet important) details like entrance fees, transportation on land, hotels at the different stops, staff, movies, meals, internet, bicycles, etc. You just have to show up and have a good time.

Each tour also welcomes a guest educator, expanding your knowledge and experience. These educators have years of travel experience and are often teachers or speakers at different colleges or events.
