CITY RUNS, OUR TRAIN ROLLS
Video 1: During Slovakia’s oldest city run, Devín–Bratislava, the entire riverside is closed - but that doesn’t stop us from doing what we do best. With support from the police es**rt, we brought our two red trains right in front of the port so the cruise guests could board comfortably.

Video 2: And off they go - minitrains, tourists, and zero chaos - heading out for a planned sightseeing tour of Bratislava. Even when the whole Old Town is in a state of emergency for half a day, we are still delivering a great city tour, as always.

BRATISLAVA AS A CULTURAL HIGHLIGHT
Today, we gave 160 guests from the UK a small upgrade to the standard Bratislava city tour: less walking, more music. In the stunning Mirror Hall of the Primatial Palace, we organized a private concert where musicians and singers from the National Theatre delivered a performance worthy of a grand finale.
A perfect reminder that Bratislava is not only beautiful to look at, but also wonderful to listen to. And sometimes, the best city tour comes with unforgettable cultural moments, a little aria, and a lot of applause.

WHO SAID OUR JOB IS ALL OFFICES AND SIGHTSEEING?
We’re preparing a new minitrain tour to llamas and alpacas, and today the Blue Danube Tours team had the tough job of testing it properly. Purely professional, of course.
We turned it into a teambuilding day with our guides and drivers - because even the best teams sometimes need a little alpaca therapy.
Alpacas are curious, friendly, intelligent herd animals - and, unlike some of us, they don’t need a calendar invite to enjoy good company.
The verdict: calm, fluffy, and better at creating a relaxed atmosphere than most of us after three tours and one coffee too many.

SOME DECISIONS SIMPLY NEED TIME TO GROW AND MATURE

For us at BLUE DANUBE TOURS, that moment has just arrived – we have become members of the Slovak Association of Travel Agencies and Tour Operators SACKA.

A few days ago, during its 188th meeting, the Presidium approved our membership as a travel company specialised in tailor‑made river cruise services and local experiences in Bratislava and its surroundings.

We are proud to join a community that shapes the future of tourism in Slovakia!

FIRST SHIP IN 2026 – WHO ORDERED CHRISTMAS WEATHER?

You’d think this is a photo of our guides patiently waiting for the next Christmas cruise from Emerald Cruises…

But no – this is actually the very first ship of the 2026 season, bringing 100 guests to explore Bratislava on board the Emerald Sun… in full winter mode. ❄️

We’ve never started a season more romantically: walking tours with city views framed by falling snowflakes and slightly frozen noses included.

Wishing smooth sailing (and slightly warmer weather) to all our partners – we’re ready for you in Bratislava, whether you arrive with sunglasses or snow boots!

LOOKS LIKE WE'VE CREATED OUR OWN LITTLE TRADITION!

Last cruise on the Danube, last tour of the year in Bratislava – and in the photos it’s always the same guides. Three years in a row: the same faces, the same humour, the same energy. We don’t really age – we just get a bit older, better‑looking and wiser every year. 😃

Huge thank you to our amazing guide team – the best on the Danube – for their professionalism, loyalty and all the laughter, even in the most demanding moments of the season. We’re proud to have you working with us.

Happy New Year 2026 to all our partners, guests and guides – let’s make the next season in Bratislava just as unforgettable!

PINKNESS MAY CAUSE SPONTANEOUS SMILING!

Pink vibes only or when your guide team accidentally shows up dressed like Barbie triplets 😀 We swear, we didn't plan this 😍 Must be a telepathic connection - or just a very pink mood!

STYLE UPGRADE FOR BRATISLAVA

Bratislava just got a little more glamorous today! The brand-new MS Riviera Radiance arrived to Bratislava, and we’re thrilled to be the chosen to organise sightseeing tours for their adventurous guests. With suites bigger than some apartments, a spa to melt all worries away, and a sundeck plunge pool perfect for pretending you’re in the Caribbean (even if it’s just the Danube), this ship is truly a floating dream. Welcome, Riviera Radiance - let’s make some waves together!
