My husband and I have cruised many times on all sizes of ocean liners but this was our first river cruise. We chose the itinerary as it specified that it was a Jewish Cultural Cruise and we wanted to see the WW11 sites of those who suffered so greatly.

We flew to Prague from Miami via Frankfurt. We had arranged to take the pre-cruise package offered by AMA Waterways. Meeting us at the exit were representatives from AMA and we were taken to the Hotel Intercontinental right in the middle of Olde Town. It was a perfect location. Our cruise director Lisi who would stay with us on the ship for the entire cruise greeted us in the lobby, gave us much info as to tours in Prague. Lisi turned out to be a gem. she was the most organized person we have ever met. We opted for the included tour of the Jewish area of town. The following day we had hired a guide to show us the Palace and other sites. We did a walking tour with him and covered 9 miles.

On day 3 we were taken by bus to Nuremburg to board the ship. It was a long ride with a stop at Karlovy Vary. Embarkation was a whiz and we went directly to our cabin. The cabin was on the small side but very compact and for the 7 days we would be on the ship it was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was excellent with a wonderful glass enclosed shower. Read more
