Sail Date: Sep 2017
Cabin: Outside Stateroom with French Balcony

This well organized and thoughtfully planned cruise itinerary allowed time at the beginning to explore the culturally rich and historically important city of Vienna and thereafter offered a diverse and fascinating trip up the Danube and then the Rhine with dockings and tours along the way at the most important burgs and cities.

The assigned tour guides were well versed in the history and current places of interest.

The ship was well appointed, clean and well provisioned. The crew were there whenever needed or wanted and invisible when not, The food was spectacular. It was diverse in its offerings, delicious, and presented all as if you were in one of Europe's fine dining establishments. My special compliments go to the Chef de Cuisine, the Hotel Manager, and the Cruise Director.

Port Reviews

Regensburg

Beautiful and a wealth of history.

Nuremberg

The castle is fascinating but the city is drab and curse by its central status in the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party.

Wurzburg

The Prince Bishop's residence is a must see. Magnificently restored after massive damage in World War II, it is full of wonderful interior decorating, history, and architecture. While in Wurzburg be sure to visit Dracula's grave.

Frankfurt

Typical modern German big city. Lots to do and see. Very good German food but so?
