This fantastic Viking Danube Waltz trip from Passau to Budapest continues. Be sure and go on the included tour to Český Krumlov in The Czech Republic. Stunning.

Currently on the Viking Vilhjalm sailing from Passau to Budapest. Great crew. Just left Passau. Here was the Passau Christmas market — took picture yesterday.

We actually hope we will be bussed from Vienna to Budapest since that adds an addition day in Vienna.

We are going Passau to Budapest starting this coming Wed, Dec. 5. Right now the part from Vienna to Budapest is not passable. And guess if it will be on December 10?

Since we are from Texas, we only get to see snow every few years.

We leave Dec. 5 on the Viking Vilhjalm going from Passau to Budapest. Last December on the Rhine we got snow. Sure hope we get some this year on our cruise. Right now Vienna has major snow headed it’s way based on the forecast I just read.

We already had 2 Viking River cruises in Europe booked for 2019. Earlier this month we added another.

Not only is it NOT cancelled, the Viking Egil even has a few rooms open for its Dec 8 sailing.

We board our ship (Viking Vilhjalm) on Dec 5 in Passau which then goes to Budapest. There is a rain/snow mix forecast in Passau for the 7 days before. Maybe just maybe we might make the Vienna to Budapest segment after all.

Which ship where you coming from and which ship did you use as a hotel in Budapest?

We are going Passau to Budapest on Viking in just over 2 weeks. I know we will probably be bused from Vienna to Budapest. My question is whether the Passau to Vienna stretch still has Viking ships sailing between them. Anyone know?

We had a GREAT time but purchased almost nothing. It is prettiest after dark, but it will get dark at 4:30 or so. We got lots of nighttime Christmas market viewing while still going to dinner on the ship every night. I don’t think we ever went back after dinner.

Keep your fingers crossed.
