Thank you for the beautiful recap of a Danube River cruise!! We did this itinerary in July of 2022 with a few extra days in Budapest and Prague and loved it!! In a month we do the Rhine River from Amsterdam to Basel with some extensions in Amsterdam as well as Switzerland and Italy!! We are READY!!!
15:55 Melk Abbey - the building you saw in the back is the Baroque Garden Pavillon of Melk Abbey. When built it was intended using it as a place for the monks' recreation after their strict fasting periods. Inside you find magnificant frescos on ceilings, walls, windows and even doors. During summer months the main room of the Baroque Garden Pavillon is used as a venue for concerts.
I'm going on a Danube river boat cruise this August that is the same route, but we end up in Budapest. You have really prepared me for what to expect. The Danube was never on my must go travel list, but I have found that those are usually the best trips😊 Thank you so much for your lovely video❤
You had great footage of indoors and outdoors. Wondering what camera you used when permitted. Most of us have digital phones with cameras but the digital camera/video footage can also be downloaded and used in UA-cam video.
25:07 Sorry, title Munich is not correct - should be Trausnitz. This castle is called Burg Trausnitz. The town of Trausnitz is a municipality in the district of Schwandorf in Northern Bavaria (Oberpfalz) and distance to Munich is 189 km (118 miles). Depending on traffic and route it's a 2-2,5 hrs drive from Trausnitz to Munich. I know the area around Munich and Passau/Vilshofen/Trausnitz very well. We lived there our whole life before moving to South Pacific. 29:12 Sorry, title of outro is also not quite correct - should be Neuschwanstein. This castle is called Schloss Neuschwanstein in Schwangau. Schwangau is a municipality in South East Bavaria (Allgäu). Distance from Munich to Schloss Neuschwanstein is 120 km (75 miles) and it's a 1,5-2 hrs drive depending on traffic and route. Hope, information is useful for newbies to my beloved Bavaria. ❤ Greetings from a Munich born girl (kidding, I'm an old girl, but still young-minded 😂) - now living on Moorea (sister island of Tahiti) in French-Polynesia 🌴 🏖 😎 🇵🇫 🇫🇷 🇪🇺
Munich is a post-cruise extension with included excursions not necessarily in the city itself. I think she used it as the base from which they headed out on different excursions because that’s how she labeled the previous destinations. Should have been made clearer though.
Love the video! Very informative one question, in Munich just wondering if you think it is worth doing the Castle tour that you did?We had a day and a half to experience Munich and don’t know if we would have enough time to do it. Thanks again for the great video!
Big question. Doing this criuse next month only thing we cant find info on is Hungarian currency. Austria and Germany are obviously Euros but Hungary uses the Forint. Do you take Forints with you or do you use euros?, which they except but apparently you do get charged at a poor exchange rate for items purchased with Euro's
Just a little correction: we hungarians had mandatory military service , but we served in the hungarian army, not in the russian and had to learn Russian in the school (beside english, german)
You've done a really nice job covering your cruise on the Danube. Thank you. Helps us a lot since it's on our bucket list too.
Budapest would have never been on my radar of places to visit until now. Thanks for this video. Adding this to my bucket list now.
Absolutely wonderful video and tour.
Awesome job, Thank you!
What amazing architecture you have seen!! This is great.
The night cruises in Budapest are amazing. My husband and I love that city!! The Christmas markets are amazing as well.
Well, that does it! I have to do this cruise! I have 3 ocean cruises on the agenda already, but this is a definite for Summer of 2026!
That video was sooo awesome!!! Thank you!
Love it!!! This video deserves a lot more thumbs up. Just saying. Show some love.
Just LOVING yesterday and todays video. How great you got a chance to go.!
Glad you enjoyed!
Beautiful tour of some beautiful cities!
Can’t wait to see your videos.Have a great cruise
Hungary has very good film studios and very good rates for filming. The Buda and Pest sides of the river are worth exploring
Very nice trip and videos. Of course we all miss Jason.
Thank you for sharing this with me. I just loved it.

Me and my mum are doing an AMA trip from. Amsterdam to Budapest next week. Coming from Australia for the first time overseas, it's very exciting!

Budspest is a great place to visit. 5 star hotels are very affordable and you can get everywhere by train!!
Beautiful video! So many places to visit.. you did an awesome job with this series... Alisa, were all these tours you did included with the cruise?
Yes! Every excursion was included!! Except the days before and after the cruise as I decided to extend the trip.
Elise, what are the dates of this cruise? We are interested in the Easter markets. Thanks!
What time of year are u visiting? Looks pretty but cool. Not a. Bad thing.

It will take your entire day so if you have a short time and really want to see Munich, I would skip it.

No video of your cabin, food, service, amenities onboard.
Very nice. Were you always rushed on the river cruise?
Just a little correction: we hungarians had mandatory military service , but we served in the hungarian army, not in the russian and had to learn Russian in the school (beside english, german)
High end cruise. Gratuity for waiter is about 25 eur per day. Or 200 eur for waiter is about it, per guest.
where is the rv?

River cruises are boring cruise ships have so much more to offer for the price you’re going to pay!
