Amazing Austrian "Melk Abbey" - Danube River Cruise Destination - Rousse Prestige Plantours
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 вер 2021
- While cruising down the Danube river from Passau to Vienna, Budapest, and Bratislava, we also stopped in the small-ish Austrian towns of Melk and Grein. The Melk Abbey is a gigantic religious fortress, basically, which also houses a museum with many interesting artefacts, including the Melk Cross, which supposedly contains a wooden piece of the "True Cross". #rivercruise #austria #melkabbey

The most beautiful church in the world!
This has been my favorite series! I didn't know what to expect and have been pleasantly surprised! After awhile, ocean cruising becomes familiar, if not similar. This was different and fun and enjoyable in a different way. Hope you do it again!
Thank you for posting this series. I’m on Viking Danube Waltz next summer, pretty much the same itinerary. I wish Marcus had been able to go with you - more fun to share with someone.
You made the whole river cruise experience entertaining Morgan. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
On our GE river cruise with Viking many years ago, the Melk Abbey was a real highlight that we both loved. Glad you didn't miss it.
Went to Melk Abby as a Viking tour. It was great. The tour spent several hours at the Abby. All stops in our 14 day cruise was wonderful. Really wore us out. After dinner people walked around just a little and went to cabins. They might have been some at the bar until midnight - but not us.
Very enjoyable series to watch. You seemed so much more relaxed, less pressed for time on this cruise. I enjoyed watching you react to each day as it happened.
What fantastic footage and information. The food they served you on the ship looked yummy!
As always thanks for sharing!
I really do like your conversational style. Oh yeah. Totally enjoyed.
I have loved watching the differences in river cruising. Thanks 👍❤😊
Thanks for taking us on your river cruise Morgan it looks so different to ocean cruises. I keep looking at taking a river cruise but not sure about the dining experience so the jury’s still out I’m afraid but perhaps when we’re tired of ocean cruises. It sure has great scenery and great river views which is a big plus.
I am ready for a river cruise now! Thanks for sharing your adventures. 🙋🏼♀️
I have already found a travel partner who is as interested in a European river cruise as much as I am, we just need to feel comfortable traveling again! We are hoping for soon! Thanks for the inspiration and fun vlogs🙂
This series was fascinating to me, an American ocean cruiser. I've dreamed of taking Viking river cruises in Europe. I hope you get to do cruises like this one in the future!
I definitely want to do a river cruise. Thanks for taking us along!
LOVED this series! Added a river cruise to my bucket list thanks to you and Emma :)
Thanks so much for doing a river cruise and sharing it with us! I've been looking at them for years and had a lot of questions, most of which you answered. I have a suggestion for you for a "and now for something completely different" cruise! How about doing a narrow boat through the canals of England trip? Make sure to include going on the Falkirk Wheel, one of the modern day wonders of the world! You rent the boat and drive it yourself, which lets you stop when you want and visit many towns along the way! I would also like to see you go on some of the other river cruises, like Viking or Avalon. Just for comparison.
Really enjoyed this series Morgan. I`m so glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully you can experience some of the other cruise lines too I know Emma, and Ben and David,have some really good river cruise vlogs. Some of the ships are quite fancy.
Can't wait to hear about the Apex. Booked on her for 14 days in April. Thanks for the River Cruise vlog Morgan. Wondering if the river cruises that cater to more Americans offers a bit more. Granted, I love watching the sights go by, but not sure I wouldn't be bored without a bit more entertainment.
When you got to the top of the stairs, you should have just given the whole group your own dirty look. You know, to let them know who the boss was!!! lol! 12 pm was sail away: "Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me, lads!!" ;) Complimentary Styx, just for you!! Thanks for the short video that included closeups of Chili!! What a pretty girl!!!!! I think your late night cocktail cams should have more cocktails. Lots and lots of cocktails!!!! Just a suggestion. ;) Did they have an interactive map on a monitor or something, showing you what was coming up, downriver? That would be so cool, I think. Thank you for another wonderful video, Mr. Morgan. :D
Morgan, you did such an awesome job showing this river cruise. I have ocean cruised for over 30 years and you're accurate portrayal of river cruising makes me want to do a river cruise next. Do they speak English on announcements or can you get an English daily information paper?
Enjoyed watching your first river cruise. Would love to have had you describe some of the delicious looking food you had, YUM!
I've really enjoyed this series. I'm so psyched to plan a 2023 trip on a Plantours river cruise!
I enjoyed this series tremendously. Very different experience. 🌺💕🌸
I really enjoyed watching your river cruise experience.
Thank you for sharing this. It was a great series.
Thanks for great series Morgan. Looks like your equally buggerd on boats too at the end of every day ! Doing walking tours and daily shedules if you partake in them.
My favorite little town came across it driving to Berlin from Germany at night it was all lite up. Took note and on the way back stopped in got a room next to river and stayed a few days Vienna has nothing compared to the beauty of Melk
Thank you very much for taking us along on this river cruise ... this is definitely the type of cruise I enjoy, not too much razzle dazzle and more about the off-shore excursions.
Thurgau is a State in Switzerland - Thurgau Travel is famous for River Cruise in 🇨🇭 - lot of passengers are swiss 😊
I was pleasantly surprised how adventurous river cruising is. I enjoy seeing how the local people live when traveling. This definitely seems better than the large cruise ships for that. I like the small details you add, such as the captain’s bridge raising up and down. Interesting. Did you develop closer relationships onboard, with it being such a tiny ship? And were you the only solo passenger aboard? Thanks for taking us with you!😍
Your R. Kelly reference is tragically timely. 😏
Two ports in one day seems ambitious. Maybe two hours in a port is OK for a small town. Did you feel you had enough time to explore Grein?
This has been a really cool series to watch. I’m glad you were invited to do this river cruise so you could share the experience with us.
These have been great videos Morgan. Thanks for doing them. Do you read much anymore? I remember seeing you with a book in one of your videos in the past. I know that I would read on the long train ride home. And probably I would have read on the boat too. Thanks again.
I did 11 hours on a train - Montreal to New York to get on out first cruise in Bayonne... let's just say next time we are driving.
It's been a great journey. A deck of cards is good on any cruise. Think Mastercard wants me to buy IPhone 13 pro as they were the ads during cocktail cam. Monks must be to busy to clean the pool.
Had to laugh when you were going over the daily schedule. It's all in German except for 'Shirley Temple' cocktails 3Euros. I didn't know the term Shirley Temple was universal. :-)
This type of cruise seems more my style. Thanks for the series. Was there accommodations for English speakers?
1st 👍
Wish you would have shown at least something from your time ashore in Grein.......Even a few quick picks and even your gelato so if we go there we would know the place to get the best.
Looks quite different to a passenger boat, like we know it
