Cry me a River 0 European Gems Jock and Susilo, QLD, Australia, Oct 2026

Unfortunately, our previous river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam terminated at Nuremberg due to flooding rains. This time, the opposite happened. A lengthy drought in Europe affected our cruise planned from Amsterdam to Budapest. However, some skilful planning on the part of Travel Marvel and APT together with some cheeky transfers between APT and read more

European River Cruise on Rhine and Danube 0 European Gems with Prague Pat and Dhana, NSW, Australia, Sep 2026

This cruise had a lot of promise but unfortunately the low river levels on the Rhine and Danube ruined the trip. Travelmarvel did their best to give passengers the best possible experience but missing out on Cologne and the Rhine Valley was very disappointing.

FAQs

I am traveling alone. Is this OK?

Many passengers travel with Travelmarvel on their own. You can choose to pay the single-supplement rate which enables you to be accommodated in a single room or cabin. Alternatively you can choose to be matched up with a person of the same gender and pay the twin-share price. In this instance, accommodation will be in twin-bedded rooms (not applicable on river cruises).

What is the average age of people on your tours & crusies?

Our clients are generally 55+, but more than age, a positive attitude is important in a group situation. We have found ages to be as diverse and varied as the sites and attractions you will see on tour.

What is Travelmarvel's Deposit Cancellation Cover?

With Travelmarvel's Deposit Cancellation Cover you can cancel your holiday 100 days prior to travel and retain a full Travelmarvel holding credit of the deposit paid. There are no penalties if a new booking is then made within three years. If you wish for us to include this protection in your quote, please let us know when enquiring.

Are airport transfers included?

Airport transfers are complimentary if arriving and departing on the first and the last day of your trip. All flight information must be given to your Global Journeys travel advisor at least 90 days prior to your departure date.

Are internal flights itinerary included in our itinerary?

Once the tour commences, all internal flights are included. Travelmarvel has chosen the best available connections for your holiday; some of these may be early morning or late afternoon departures. We find flight schedules can change regularly, and our Travelmarvel tour director will keep you informed of any changes that occur while on tour. Since we cannot guarantee pre-assigned seats or do a group check-in ahead of time, your tour director will assist you at the airports.

Are gratuities included?

Gratuities are included for all of your included meals, hotel charges, Travelmarvel tour director, driver and local guides. See your travel documentation for any variations to this.

Why should I book my next adventure with Travelmarvel?

Travelmarvel's included touring highlights take in all the classic sights, from iconic destinations to the quaint places that embody the diversity of the region. Travelmarvel recognises that not all travellers have the same interests. That's why we have developed Freedom of Choice touring, allowing you to choose your own activities in selected locations - adding a personal touch to your holiday.

With Freedom of Choice Touring you are presented with a selection of different touring activities to choose from in feature locations that best suits your interests and we will incorporate it into your itinerary.

What will our accommodation be like?

The places in which you'll stay with Travelmarvel are as exciting as the adventures that await. From the iconic to the contemporary, our hotels and resorts are chosen for their picturesque setting or central location and all share the exacting standards of service and cuisine that you expect from an Travelmarvel holiday.
