Eastern Danube River Cruise on Tui Skyla: Budapest Sailaway
In the first in a series of videos about our Eastern Danube cruise on Tui Skyla, we embark in Budapest and enjoy a truly magical sailaway.
Budapest at night is beautiful and our cruise took in the sights like the Parliament Building before heading to our first ports of Kalocsa and Mohacs.
We show you the food onboard and the open decks where you can sit and watch the world go by.
Tui Skyla is one of three identical ships in the Tui River Cruises fleet and is an affordable option for river cruising in Europe.

Thank you for watching, seeing Budapest at night was absolutely stunning. It was something we missed out on last time as we cruised into Budapest about a month after the Hableány disaster when two boats collided at night. At that time sailing at night was banned but we were so happy we got to do it this time round.
That’s just brought it all flooding back! The Parliament Building is something else! Great video Laura ❤️❤️

Thank you very much Mark, the next episode will be ready next week. Tui Skyla doesn’t dock in Romania but when we sailed through the Iron Gates it was on one side of the Danube, with Serbia on the other.
Great video.Looks great.

You could do with two full days really (minimum). We return to Budapest at the end of the cruise and have some time there. If you do a city break you can do a dinner cruise to enjoy the lights at night.

Great video. I just subscribe to your channel as I was searching for someone to update us on the current river situation in Europe. We are due to board a river cruise November 23rd of this year and hoping we get water for our sailing.

Hopefully there will be rain and water levels will improve soon. We noticed the levels were much lower and I’ll make sure I point this out in future episodes.
I'm back to watch again in order to help us decide if this is the itinerary for us. I feel we're getting closer to booking a river cruise and TUI looks great value for money. They don't seem to be offering the extras package online.

Thank you Angela for watching, to be honest, the best thing about the little extras package was the ship tour behind the scenes, the rest wasn’t worth it. Priority check-in was non-existent.

Great watch, should have been on that cruise last month but Easyjet let us down and we decided to change itineraries, I love the TUI Rover Cruises.....and we use that Premier Inn at LHR, it's great!

What a shame about your flight, at least you were able to book another one, which itinerary did you choose? The Premier Inn is in an ideal spot, we’ve stayed here previously before a fly cruise and couldn’t fault it.

Hi Laura….This is August 2022 and there doesn’t seem to be any issue with the Danube river water level from your clip. Are the news media overhyping the drought situation and fear-mongering the demise of the river cruise industry in Europe?

It was clear that the water levels were lower. We saw lots of beaches and sandbars on the Danube along our journey. On our way back to Budapest the captain told us we only had 35cm of clearance from the riverbed.
I have to say, having just enjoyed a Viking cruise on the Rhine, this did not look appealing. It appears you've not seen any sights other than Budapest by night as you floated by. The two times you docked were a big ZERO. I watched this video hoping to find an alternative to Viking. Very disappointed. Your video isn't disappointing. The cruise is.

Please consider watching the second episode, we visit Novi Sad, Serbia and it’s far more interesting. I’m about to complete the third episode, which will be out soon and features cruising the Iron Gates (the reason we chose this itinerary). Also on this cruise, we visited Belgrade, Vucovar and then returned to Budapest for more time. As I said, keep watching, the itinerary gets better after the first day 😁
