WAPAVO Posted October 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2014 I am doing A Nuremberg to Budapest Cruise Nov 20 to 27, 2014. Has anyone done the Danube around these dates in the past? What kind of weather can I expect? Would appreciate some advice so I don't pack too much clothes or the wrong type of clothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jklc123 Posted October 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted October 28, 2014 This doesn't directly answer your question, but we're presently on the Rhine. The weather has been colder than the forecasts we read before we left. Luckily we've brought enough layers to cope. Too cold to enjoy our balcony so far. My point is to be ready for cold weather in November, even though you will be south of us, of course. Still pleasant at our excursion stops because there are way fewer tourists than in the warmer months, of course. Bon voyage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floridiana Posted October 28, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 28, 2014 The Danube will be as cold as the Rhine. Expect fog and rain. Be happy when the sun shines. Think New England weather after the pretty leaves have fallen. Gluehwein (mulled wine) will become your favorite word. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caviargal Posted October 29, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) I am doing A Nuremberg to Budapest Cruise Nov 20 to 27, 2014.Has anyone done the Danube around these dates in the past? What kind of weather can I expect? Would appreciate some advice so I don't pack too much clothes or the wrong type of clothing. We have done this several times at that time of year. You will just be missing the Christmas markets (might catch an early one in Nuremberg and if you do, don't miss their Lebkuchen and sausages, yumm :)) and we have had wide variations on the weather in this area at that time of year. Be prepared for cold, possible rain or snow. Pack so you can dress in layers. I suggest a waterproof coat or longer jacket, comfy waterproof shoes that are good on uneven surfaces (2 pair), gloves, scarf, hat. I wear cords and jeans for daytime exploring and my preference are Nike (or similar) half zip tops that I can layer over a base layer if needed or wear on their own. Packable down is my go to for outerwear for warmth without bulk and weight. My husband prefers heavier weight docker type slacks in black and turtleneck or sweater for daytime with packable down outwear.

4Lakes Lady Posted November 4, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 4, 2014 We cruised the Danube in November a few years back. I wore a down coat the entire time! Enjoy your trip- we loved it despite the chilly weather! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purduemom1 Posted November 4, 2014 #8 Share Posted November 4, 2014 I think it also depends on how you react to cold temps. Some of us are not bothered by the cold and can comfortably tolerate it. Probably best to plan on layers that will adapt to whatever occurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
