Romanians have become more and more interested in cruises on the Danube, with the number of those who preferred to spend their vacations traveling the water this year rising by approximately 20% from last year, the owner of a cruise ship on the Danube, Marius Crivtonencu told AGERPRES.
The ship he manages was launched last year, in the Danube Delta, and offered stays of up to five days in the Romanian and Ukrainian Danube Deltas. This year it offered tourists who embarked in Orsova cruises offering port visits to Serbia and Croatia.
„The increase is 20% compared to last year. The interest has increased not only for the cruises, but also for longer stays. I mean, last year we developed cruises of up to five nights, and this year we had cruises of up to seven nights. We believe that we succeeded in attracting Romanian tourists to spend up to 10 days on the Danube, because that way they can enjoy the ports, city trips, and the activities on the ship. When the stays are shorter, everything is more compressed”, said Crivtonencu.
80% of the available places for Christmas and New Year are already booked.
„Starting with June of next year, we want to do Vienna-Orsova cruises, with the journeys to last seven days”, added the owner of the cruise ship.
