Appreciate the tidbits of this Viking cruise. We will embark on the European Sojourn from Bucharest to Amsterdam mid-August to mid-Sept, and certainly need all the info we can get as it's our first cruise ever. Will share video with our friends as well. Thank you for providing the video. 👏

Thanks for the comment. Since this is your first cruise, even if you are not very social, get to know the staff and fellow travelers. You will get to know some very interesting people on the trip. However, also make time for some alone time. Grab a drink and kick back on the top of the longship, taking in the views. If you can, also break away from the busy tour schedule to meander city streets on your own. I did just that and had a great time exploring and making Vlogs of many European cities on my Viking cruise. Have fun!

thanks for posting. I am going on a Viking Danube cruise in September and am looking at shore excursions. I went looking for videos about Krems, wondering if I wanted to explore it independently or do one of their excursions? I enjoyed your video about Krems & will check out your others.

Thanks for the comment I appreciate it. As far as Krems, the Gottweig Abbey is a must do excursion, you can check out my Vlog on that. Otherwise, you are not in port very long. So, get an early start and just walk exploring Krems as I did. In fact, that is a favorite of mine, just meandering streets. So, I didn't' do a deal of excursions on my trip. In Vienna check out my stroll from boat docks... Vlog as I show you how to get to Prater Wein amusement park well worth it. The other I recommend is in Budapest, walk the promenade on your own to Margaret Island. Well worth it and I wish I had my swimsuit for the hot springs. I have Vlogs on that also. Thanks Again!

We're in cabin 225 on an upcoming cruise. On the diagrams, the area below is blank. I'm guessing maybe that is crew cabins? Did you hear any noise below you?

[@hyggetraveler]

Thanks for asking, I didn't hear a thing up, down or on either side. However, I live by a highway, so I am accustomed to noise at night. What will wake you up is when they dock, another boat docks next to you, or going through the locks at night. If you do wake up it is pretty cool to see the locks outside your window.

@@hyggetraveler Good info - thanks!

You're welcome, if you are going up the Danube checkout my other vlogs for ideas of things to do. I highly recommend in Budapest walking from the dock up the promenade to Margret Island. In that Vlog the Christmas lights I came across it was a hot springs. A must do for myself next time, not sure what their hours are.

Music "background" is obnoxious and too loud!
