Currently On-board Avalon Expression - High water on the Danube

[Jake40]

Hello from Passau - we're currently on-board the Avalon Expression on our way from Prague to Budapest on the Legends of the Danube cruise 4/29-5/2. We started in Prague and did a one day pre-cruise extension and had 4 great days in Prague. The water on the Danube is high - so Avalon held the boat in Deggendorf due to a low bridge between Deggendorf and Nuremberg. Avalon made arrangements for the group to be sent by bus to Nuremberg for a tour and then sent by bus to Deggendorf. We stayed on the boat in Deggendorf overnight and then went by bus to Regenburg for a tour and then back to Deggendorf. We left overnight last night for Passau and now we're back on schedule. Internet has been great. The food is great and the staff is wonderful. Will try to post some updates. Let me know if you have any questions.

Notwithstanding the high water, glad you're enjoying your trip. Last June we were on the Avalon Luminary going from Budapest to Prague. Like you, we found the internet was great, as was the food, accommodations, ship & staff. We also enjoyed Prague, its food, people, the sights & sounds it has to offer. If you enjoyed Prague's astronomical clock, there is also one in Rouen if you folks are going there, albeit smaller version. Anyhow, enjoye the rest of your trip.
