kalyn Posted October 26, 2018 #1 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Has anyone ever cruised the Danube with Gate1 on the Monarch Duchess or Monarch Princess? How does this river cruise compare with Viking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does this river cruise compare with Viking? Have done the Danube on the Monarch Empress. Have done the Rhine on Viking. I consider them to be pretty equal. I thought Gate1 food quality was better with more local dishes, but less of a selection. Tours were similar. Viking a little better on entertainment. Given a choice I consider Gate1 to be a much better value, considering the price point of each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trig2018 Posted October 27, 2018 #4 Share Posted October 27, 2018 We're doing the Danube on the Monarch Princess next April. Really looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrkstl Posted October 29, 2018 #5 Share Posted October 29, 2018 We've only traveled with Viking so far, but a friend is currently on the Danube with Gate 1 and is raving about the experience. Will certainly look at them (as well as others) in the future. No complaints about Viking, BTW, as they've been excellent. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig2018 Posted October 29, 2018 #6 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Glad to hear that! We're going with Gate 1 next April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsw39 Posted October 29, 2018 #7 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Sailed on Gate 1 in August! We were involved in the low water situation! The trip was fantastic even with bus rides to Bratislava and Budapest! Food was excellent, crew was superb. Provided a wonderful diner and night cruise in Budapest to compensate for our inability to sail into Budapest. These last minute events where handled within hours of the decision to remain in Vienna and executed perfectly You will love your cruise Enjoy Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
