Top cabin: Deluxe Suite
Key selling points: The Danube Express is the only private train in Central Europe that offers guests en-suite facilities, and when you book one of the Deluxe Suites, you’ll be treated to a plush living area with three chairs by day that converts into a sleeping area with two cozy beds by night. Dark wood paneling, luxurious brass fittings, a full-length wardrobe, and a large picture window complete the space.
Standout service: After one guest requested a beverage that was not available on board, the crew picked it up at the next destination for the guest to enjoy for the duration of the trip.
