With the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, is it safe to go on a Danube cruise and what rights do I have if I want to cancel?

Edwina Lonsdale, managing director, Mundy Cruising

Currently, it is safe to travel on the Danube. River cruise lines are good at making nimble adaptations in the event of changing circumstances, and they would never put their guests in harm’s way.

There is no Foreign Office advice against travel to the countries you will visit on a Danube cruise, so there should be no expectation to be able to cancel without penalty. Having said that, many companies still have in place the flexible cancellation terms they introduced during Covid, allowing you to roll monies forward or move a deposit to a different booking. Take the time to talk it through with your expert cruise consultant.
