Enjoy the beauty of Europe on a bike and boat tour

Cycling holidays are the perfect match for nature enthusiasts and sportsmen. If these type of tourists vacation together, everything works out just fine. However, sometimes not all the group members have the same level of fitness or want to cycle as much as the others do. For these heterogeneous groups, Bike & Boat holidays offer the required diversity as they combine sport, nature and the river cruise ship atmosphere. Our riverside bicycle paths are made for this type of holiday. The Danube bicycle way is one of our favorite riverside paths and underlines the advantages of bike and boat holidays. During the day, you explore the surrounding area on beautiful bicycle paths that will also lead you away from the riverbed. In the evening, you return to the boat and benefit from the comfortable river cruise hotel beds. Recharging your batteries for the next day is very easy in this beautiful surrounding. Delicious food is included so that you can end every day with a nice dinner and are set for the awaiting adventures.

Bike & Boat: the perfect duo for an adventure vacation

When combining a river cruise and a cycling holiday, it is up to you how many miles you cycle a day. Like this, you can adjust the holiday exactly to your fitness level and make it a perfect vacation for beginners or families. Moreover, you get to know a specific region as you spend more time in one place. Without daily cycling targets, the vacation becomes more relaxed and less daring. With the gained time, you can wander off and explore historic castles without any time pressure. Another advantage: packing suitcases will not spoil your nights. As your swimming hotel is always near you, you only have to pack and unpack once.

Here is an overview of your benefits when traveling with bike and boat:

• Flexibility on your cycling tours (adjustable to fitness and pedal force)
• Extended adventures in your selected holiday region
• No need to move around luggage
• Comfortable accommodation
• Full catering aboard the ship
