Extra Info
Skill Level — Easy
This is a relatively easy tour following the flow of the Danube River. The route is mostly flat with some rolling hills, especially coming out of the Danube valley. It takes place on good, asphalt bike paths and is a tour that is very suitable for beginners and children. As in all of our bike tours, a good command of the bicycle is required, including good balance, ability to stop and start quickly, and comfort in riding in a group.
Airport Info
We recommend that you fly into Munich Airport (MUC).
Local Travel
Munich Airport (MUC) is well connected to the city center and beyond by public transportation, taxis, and transfer services.
Public transportation:To access a train to Passau, your point of embarkation, you first take a bus to Freising train station (approximately €3). It’s also possible to take a taxi from the airport to Freising Station (approximately €27). From Freising, continue by train to Passau. The train ride is approx. 2–2½ hr. (depending on connections) and costs €30 to €45 depending on type of train.
If you are arriving by car, just ask! We can provide parking details. If your travel plans include spending some time in Munich before your bike and boat tour, you can access a train to Munich city center directly at the airport at either Terminal 1 or Terminal 2.Private transfers:
Transfers from Munich can be booked individually through Salzburger Mietwagen und Reise Service GmbH (SMS).
Phone: +43 (0) 662 - 8161 - 0
sms@flughafentransfer.at, www.flughafentransfer.atClimate
The region has a moderate maritime climate, generally experiencing pleasantly mild winters and relatively cool summers. Please check local conditions prior to your departure and remember that your tour will cover a significant distance and will stretch along the Danube from Passau to Budapest and back.
Day of Rest
Any day can be designated a day of rest by remaining on board and enjoying the amazing Danube scenery!
Remarks
Please be aware you will be part of an international group of people, but your tour guide and crew members are multilingual.
Important to know
Documents
Before you travel, please check the passport and visa requirements of the country/countries you plan to visit. For US citizens, the US Department of State website is a good source of information. The Country Information tab in the International Travel section provides details about passport validity, blank passport pages required, etc. For our other international clients, please be sure that you research your own country's travel requirements. It is each traveler's responsibility to ensure proper documentation.
*Important note: Please check on the status of the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) as once implemented, this will be required to visit any of the 26 Schengen-member countries for tourism, business, medical, or transit. This is an additional check on security rather than a visa.
Life on Board
The ships used on this tour have an on-board tour director that does not cycle with the group. The tours are generally designed for self-guided cycling. The multi-lingual director on board is available in case of a breakdown or emergency. On certain dates aboard the Swiss Crown, Fortuna, and Vivienne a fully guided package is available for a supplement. See dates/pricing.
