Additional details
When we were in the planning stages of the cruise we were discouraged by many people about taking a cruise down the Danube in November. We decided to go, and what an amazing trip we had.
The trip started for us in Prague. I had arranged to have a pick up at the airport and used Viator to book this. The driver was friendly, on time and the transfer was very smooth and uneventful.
We chose to do our own personal pre cruise in Prague for just over two days. The city is amazing and we chose to stay just off the main square in the old City. We hired private guide who I chose after doing a lot of research on line. She was with Whittmann Tours and had an amazing knowledge of the history of Prague and the events pre and post World War Two. Prague is an incredible city with lots of wonderful old buildings, in excellent condition and a very long and storied history. The receptionist at our hotel recommended a great evening out of chamber music in the old City being performed in one of the old Shul's. An evening to remember.
Cabin Review
Stateroom with French balcony and outside balcony
The cabin was located on the Violin Deck. The lady who looked after us was extremely nice and helpful and remember our names after the first day. Only comment we would like to see in the cabin is a reading light on either side of the bed. They did have bedside lamps but it was difficult read with them. An LED light on each side would be an easy addition to the cabin.
Port Reviews
Linz (Salzburg)
This was out only day of rain. Tour was wonderful to this beautiful walled old City. We loved every minute of it
Melk
We had nit really heard a lot about the Abbey so it was a total surprise to hear the history and see the Abbey
Vienna
We were a part of the rapid walkers group so we did a very extensive tour of the old Town. We then stayed in town where we had lunch and visited the Christmas Market
Budapest
Gave us an excellent over view of the city. The evening sailing to see the "lights" was wonderful
Passau
This was our first day and we just did a short walking tour. This is a very small town with not to much to see in the middle of winter
Durnstein (Krems)
We did a walk into the town on our own
