Pricey but worth it to explore Danube cities and culture by DaveFromVA

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Viking Egil

Great overview of Danube area and culture, delivered in a comfortable setting. My wife and I were in a party of twelve, with two other couples, a mother and daughter, a pair of sisters, and a pair of friends. Viking made it easy to arrange travel, actually get between the ship and the airports, see the cities, learn about the cultures, and so on. All of us had a great time! Doing it by cruise also maximizes the use of the time, as you can be en route from one place to another while you sleep, eat, etc., and I for one find it a lot easier to sleep on a river boat than on a plane, train, bus, etc. (This was our first *river* cruise, though I had been on an *ocean* cruise long ago, not with Viking.)

Many times we were side by side when docking with other Viking ships. Be prepared to have your curtains closed and not be able to use the balcony.

The balcony upgrade was not really necessary. With ample space throughout the ship for lounging, and with the frequency of finding ourselves against the balcony of another Viking ship, we half-enjoyed this feature.

Try not to miss any of the various presentations made by the Tour Director. All were both highly informative and, frequently, quite amusing!
