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 through us for the Carissima and Fortuna only or on all boats individually through Salzburger Mietwagen und Reise Service GmbH (SMS).

Important to know
Entry requirements
Due to the changing requirements for entry, it is imperative that you stay up to date on requirements set by the country/countries that you are visiting. Please visit our Travel Restrictions Tool page and the country/countries government webpage for this information.
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 Carissima and Fortuna, a fully guided package is available for a supplement. See dates/pricing.
Onboard the Primadonna, superb cuisine will top off your day. The chef and staff pride themselves on using organic ingredients and presenting top-rated cuisine. The day begins with a breakfast buffet, which offers a healthy start to the day, ranging from vegetable juices to the organic corner. For lunch, a 3-course menu is available with multiple options and a 4-course menu is available in the evenings, always also for vegetarians. In the late afternoon, a traditional 5 o’clock tea is provided, including homemade cakes and pastries in the Primavera café. At midnight, when the cinema evening in the board theater is over, midnight refreshments await you. For cycling cruises, a packed lunch is prepared.
