We don’t hear much about that portion of the Danube here. The Transylvania part is intriguing to me. I am very excited on both accounts. She's not always made the best choices in life (as a teen and young woman) and has come so far so I want to celebrate her and her accomplishments. I'm very interested in this area of Europe. I lived in Germany for 3 years so I got to see a lot but never got to these areas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had previously booked - twice - with Avalon, and the trips were cancelled. This last one was with Scenic - as the price was better. Transylvania is fascinating. We had 4 days there - but, to be honest - would have been happy with the 2 nights offered on Avalon - with the extra days on the boat. With Scenic, we moved every night - but with Avalon, you stay put for 2 nights. Enjoy!! Fran 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nursinadream Posted January 25, 2023 #57 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Great thread @Got2Cruise. I've read some things I've never heard about. Need to research Danube, Prague and Transylvania. Our first RC is October with AMA the Mekong with pre and post extensions and free (!) add on to Bangkok. Deb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, I was happy with the sailing experience - the scenery was the primary draw, so the shorter times on land weren't a disappointment. We did spend some extra time in Bergen, and were happy with that. To each his own. Lots of ways to sail!! Fran I did this last month with my mother on Havila. Had a fabulous time and we got a ridiculous deal. It was definitely interesting to be on a working boat but the excursions we took met our needs. A cousin hit me up just after I booked the Havila trip, a cousin hit me up about a Viking river cruise. I may suggest another line that’s cheaper as I had a fantastic time on my Viva cruises trip last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you enjoy River Cruises as much as the rest of us. Can’t wait to read your report. It’s almost time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lois R Posted February 15, 2023 #62 Share Posted February 15, 2023 I must have missed this thread at year end.....I have no river cruises booked right now but I just came back from a Caribbean cruise and in April I am going to Greece and Turkey. I also have a TA crossing booked for November. Every time I read threads on this forum I want to book another river cruise. Not sure what is holding me back......I am going to do some research for a river cruise this summer!😃 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a sister and bil who LOVE them. I think it is probably their most favorite types of cruise. Hopefully I will love it too. I know it is a lot of sea days, which is ok with me. Funny, as I get older it is very easy for me to do a lot of nothing on a ship. So will see how many naps I take LOL 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
