About Me

Old Town Square, Prague, Czech Republic
Old Town Square, Prague, Czech Republic

In March 2025, I had the opportunity to experience a Viking River Cruise firsthand with a group of about 90 friends and family! We began with Viking's three-night Prague pre-cruise extension before embarking on the Danube Waltz itinerary in Passau, Germany.Our journey started in the storybook city of Prague, where we explored centuries of history, admired stunning architecture, wandered through Old Town Square, and crossed the iconic Charles Bridge. Spending a few days in Prague before the cruise allowed us to adjust to the time change, immerse ourselves in the local culture, and begin our European adventure at a relaxed pace before traveling to Passau to board our Viking Longship.Once onboard, we sailed through some of Central Europe's most beautiful destinations, including Bratislava, Vienna, the breathtaking Wachau Valley, Krems, and Linz. Along the way, we explored historic cities, admired vineyard-covered hillsides, visited remarkable cultural and architectural landmarks, and enjoyed the effortless style of travel that has made Viking one of the most popular river cruise lines in Europe.What stood out most to me was how seamlessly Viking combines destination-focused travel with comfort and convenience. Unpacking only once while waking up to a new destination each day allowed us to fully enjoy the experience, whether we were strolling through charming European towns, learning about local history, or simply relaxing on deck and taking in the scenery along the Danube.Having personally experienced both a Viking cruise extension and life onboard a Viking Longship, I can offer insights that go beyond brochures and websites. Whether you're considering the Danube, Rhine, Rhône, Seine, Douro, or another Viking River Cruise itinerary, I can help you choose the sailing, stateroom, and experience that best fits your travel style and vacation goals.If you're dreaming of exploring Europe by river, I'd love to help you discover why Viking River Cruises continue to be one of the most rewarding and immersive ways to travel.
