Flights to get you there
A river cruise is almost always an open-jaw: into Munich for Passau, home from Budapest (or the reverse). We price both ends as one ticket.
- Airports for each end
- Budapest (BUD) is 30–45 minutes from the river docks. Passau is about two hours from Munich (MUC) by coach — the cruise line usually provides the transfer. Vienna (VIE) serves sailings that start there.
- Arrive a day early
- Long-haul flights from North America land after a night in the air. Arrive the day before embarkation: it absorbs a delay and gives you a full night’s sleep before sailing.
