Accommodating up to 136 passengers as she winds her way along the mighty Danube River to offer our guests exclusive Vegan Travel discoveries in timeless cities, the new riverboat ms Joy leads the way in spacious comfort with the most space per guest on Europe´s rivers.
In the entrance hall, our guests will find the Vegan Travel desk, reception, as well as a stylish bord shop. There is a bar Arthur´s on the Diamond Deck. On the Ruby Deck, passengers benefit from the beautiful Panorama Bar & Lounge. MS Joy is equipped with a modern wellness area and fitness room. A hairdresser is also found on board. A lift connects the three individual decks.
Joy´s deck plan is innovative; with a total of 67 cabins, the most popular cabins tend to be the largest... so the added ship length has been used to offer twenty-two 300-square-feet Master Suites - the most of any river cruise ship on any European river. To increase the amount of natural sunlight on the lower deck, 8 Loft Suites have been created that extend from the first to the second decks, providing guests with an additional view; all windows n these loft cabins open.

From which airport do I fly home?
You would fly out from Munich Airport (MUC).
We recommend kayak.com
Prefer to take the train? There are very good train connections from Passau: https://int.bahn.de/en
Does Vegan Travel offer a transfer to Munich Airport and City center from the ship in Passau on disembarkation day?
Yes, Vegan Travel will offer a bus transfer from our ship in Passau to Munich City Center and to the Munich Airport. The drive will take around 1,5 to 2 hours, depending on the Traffic.
More details will be available with the shore excursions 6 - 8 weeks prior to the cruise departure. We will send all information to all booked guests via email. Then you can also book the transfer.
When will I receive my cruise tickets and travel documents with all details?
Vegan Travel will send out the travel documents and cruise tickets via email 3 - 6 weeks prior to the cruise.
Where exactly will the ship be on embarkation day?
The exact coordinates will be announced to us only a few weeks before the cruise starts. You will get the information with your travel documents. What we can say by now is that you can assume the ship to be centrally located in Budapest.
How can I book shore excursions?
Once we finished the planning of our shore excursions, all booked guests will receive an email with all details of our shore excursions.
Usually these details are available 6 - 8 weeks prior to cruise departure.
It is highly recommended to book shore excursions prior to the cruise.
What is not included?
Does the ship have Wifi?
Yes, there will be WiFi onboard the ship, which is also already included in your cruise fare! Being close to shore, the connection is quite good at river cruises but internet on board can never be as reliable as on land. There will always be some level of unreliability, especially the further out to sea you sail.
Our connection relies on a cellular or satellite terminal—the best possible solution for river cruising. Due to the nature of data bandwidth and latency, as well as potential interruptions in satellite signals based on terrain and weather, you may experience slower online connections than you are accustomed to at home. That’s why we recommend to download your content such as movies, series or software updates before the cruise, so there is enough data for everyone to use the WiFi.
Vegan Travel lets you experience extraordinary, life-changing moments on and off the beaten path. Vegan Travel offers an array of fantastic all-vegan river and expedition cruises across the world. Discover our amazing voyages of discovery and sail away the vegan way.
We are passionate about plant-based travel and committed to guest satisfaction to ensure our international clients have the adventure of a lifetime. Welcome aboard!
