Avalon Highlights of Germany, Rhein and Danube

We just received our packages and are leaving Sept 27 for Munich. We have done a few ocean Cruises but never a river cruise. We are both super excited. We are going to take in Oktoberfest when we get there. After the cruise we will be on our own for 2 weeks with a rental car through Austria, Italy and Switzerland. Anyone else on this cruise?

Hi there. Two of us are doing a rail tour of Switzerland for a week and then arriving in Munich for the same cruise deal. Our first river cruise too.

Your trip sounds perfect. The right mix of simple vacating with the excitement of being on your own. Congratulations.

If you're expecting something similar to an ocean cruise Roll Call, you will find that because river ships are so small and Cruise Critic has so little awareness among river cruisers that it is unlikely you will meet anyone else from your exact cruise here [unless it is your DW ;)]

Yes I have noticed. Thought I would throw it out anyways. Not to worry, we are looking forward to meet people during the river cruise. It will be nice not to have 2000+ people on a ship. That was one of the things we both love about a river cruise.

My DW will be writing a blog. I'll post the link when he gets going on it.
