We have done several river cruises including one on the Danube and we loved it. My BIL & SIL also took the cruises with us and then took a Douro River cruise alone and they much preferred the other cruises, especially the Danube. They also said they were bored on the Douro River Cruise. We took Uniworld Cruises for our Danube River Cruise and I highly recommend them. We had a great time.

also not to knock cruisedeals but you really want to work with an advisor who has some special affiliation... either with Virtuoso or with each cruiseline itself for special perks!
they'll really take care of you this way.

We have taken both the Danube and Douro river cruises and I have to agree that the Danube is much more scenic and interesting. The Douro does not really lend itself to cruising as it is down in a valley and you have to travel a distance to get to the town. Towns are not as interesting as the ports you hit on the Danube -- Regensburg, Vienna, Bratslava, and Budapest to name a few. We use Grand Circle and have always been happy. Enjoy the trip, whatever company you use. We enjoy river cruising a lot.
