Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Wow that’s amazing. What would you attribute this to? Has it always been this way from time to time? Someone we took a tour with from Passau blamed some of it on the use of Hydro power plants. Do you think that’s true? It’s very difficult to know the best time to take a cruise on the Danube or the Rhine. We have another river cruise on the Rhine in The beginning of June 2025. Hopefully that will be uneventful:) Thanks, Pat
  2. Actually, I’m sorry they will be in Passau on Friday and Regensburg on Saturday and leaving the boat on Sunday. So far it looks like they’re doing fine and I am so happy for them! Thanks, Pat
  3. They will be in Passau on Thursday and they leave for Regensburg that night.There ship is the Viking Alta. Thanks, Pat
  4. Wow that is amazing the difference in the water levels in one month. If I understand this correctly it seems like they may be able to sail through to Regensburg without any issues?
  5. Hi Notamermaid, Thanks so much for checking on that area. Today they leave for Vienna for 2 days and the weather looks much nicer there. Pat
  6. Wow, that’s pretty crazy. I didn’t even think about the difficulty in docking because of the strength of the river. There is so much to negotiate. It will be very interesting to see what happens this week with the flooding and if they’re able to make it past Passau.
  7. Thank you so much for this very informative explanation. I will be watching daily to see if anything changes here on the forum. I’ve really enjoyed following you and your excellent informative information. When we were there in October, we were not able to sail beyond Passau and we were not able to get on the boat in Budapest. It’s so interesting how much it changes. Thanks again, Pat
  8. I have family that will be getting on a Viking cruise from Budapest to Regensburg tomorrow. What does that mean for them?
  9. Thank you so much for your quick response. It sounds like a beautiful time of year and normally we travel in the fall so I am excited to see the spring into the summer months in Paris, Germany and Switzerland. We will keep our fingers crossed on Weather as always. I follow your information about the Danube and the Rhine on this board and find it so informative. I want to thank you for all the time that you put into providing this very valuable information.Sincerely, Pat Smith
  10. Hi everyone, we just completed the Romantic Danube from October 7 through the 14th and had low water level so we were not able to go to Budapest or Regensburg, which was a disappointment on both ends. I’m trying to book another river cruise to give it one more try and that would be from Paris to the Swiss Alps on the Rhine. I know you can’t predict water levels. However, I would love input as to how you feel a sailing from May 31 to June 9th 2025.We would be starting in Paris and sailing from Trier to Basel Switzerland. Do you think there is a better month to try and do it? We will be going in 2025.look forward to hearing from others.Thanks, Pat
  11. Hi, I’m on Viking as well from October 7-14 from Budapest to Regensburg. Pat
  12. Wow thank you so much! I will look into all of these:)
  13. That sounds amazing. We'll be going in October with another couple and I'd love to check out the Airbnb you recommend. I will also check out the taste of Prague as well. Thank, Pat
