bellemere Posted May 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Have purchased air thru Viking which includes transfers for our Danube Waltz cruise. Has anyone used the Viking transfer from Munich airport to Passau? How long is the transfer? Did you have to wait long at the airport to be transferred to the ship? Thanks for your help.

Rare Clay Clayton Posted May 25, 2016 #2 Share Posted May 25, 2016 I can't speak directly to your question as we arrived a couple of days precruise in Munich and immediately trained to Salzburg and then on embarkation day, took the train to Passau. However, in speaking with fellow passengers who had used the transfer, it appeared they had three busses. One VERY early one - this seemed to have folks who had flown nonstops directly to Munich. As I recall, someone on it said they arrived at the ship and had a late continental breakfast and then after lunch, Viking took them on a short sightseeing tour. A second (or more?) bus must have arrived before lunch given the number of folks aboard when we arrived about 3. A final bus arrived about 4 pm. That one may have been unusual as a large group aboard (60+) was traveling together and their flight from Atlanta to Munich had been delayed. I didn't hear anyone complain about the transfers. Hopefully someone with direct experience can answer your real questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TravelerThom Posted May 25, 2016 #3 Share Posted May 25, 2016 MUC airport is over half an hour by car from center city, but fortunately MUC is on the Passau side of Munich. The drive to Passau should be a little under two hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pflorio994 Posted May 26, 2016 #4 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Doing this cruise in December and was told by Viking, that it is about a 2 hour bus ride from Munich Airport to the dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexkrn46 Posted May 26, 2016 #5 Share Posted May 26, 2016 we flew Boston to Munich has enough time to buy a cup of coffee once we cleared customs. Most people fell asleep on the bus and the ride was painless. Got to the ship around noon one room ready one not. Have a awesome cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zitsky Posted May 26, 2016 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2016 Sounds like anyone doing transfers has to wait for a busload of other people. I don't mind waiting. I just hope they have a bathroom on that bus! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
