Are you travelling with a spouse/partner or sharing a room with a friend?

If yes, what is their name?

Are you a solo traveller? Do you want to book a SINGLE SHARE room? Please note the single supplement is $1500CAD

Are you a solo traveller who wants to share a room with another solo traveller? We will do our best to pair you with another solo traveller (subject to solo registrations and stateroom availability)?

Full Name (MUST MATCH NAME ON PASSPORT)

Email Address

Dietary Requirements

Which stateroom category do you want to book?- limited availability; we will do our best to accommodate your request

Will you be travelling with a wheelchair? If yes, please read. Wheelchair accessibility is very limited on our European ships. We do have an elevator between the two main decks; however, it does not reach the Sun Deck or Piano Deck. Guests would be able to move around the dining room and lounge in their chair; however, the staterooms are not able to accommodate a wheelchair, so while in their stateroom they would need to be able to move around on their own. Their chair would also need to be stored in their stateroom due to limited storage on board. Getting on and off the ship could be a challenge, as the planks are narrow and cannot accommodate a wheelchair or scooter's width. Guests would have to be able to get on and off the ship without their wheelchair and the wheelchair would have to be light enough to be lifted off and on the ramps. It is common to tie up to other river ships in port. When this happens we would sometimes need to travel through another ship to disembark, with many ships requiring we do so from the Sun Deck, where there is only stair access.

We can offer a travel insurance quote for Ontario residents. Do you require a quote?

I have read and agree to the Terms & Conditions for this Danube Christmas Market Knit Retreat 2025.

I understand that I need to also submit the 'PCredit Card Authorisation Form in order to complete my/our Registration. SPJ Retreats/Direct Travel will only process registrations once we have received both the Booking Form and Credit Card Authorization Form.
