jnew55 Posted August 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted August 17, 2017 We have booked Viking's Romantic Danube and want to maximize our time in Nuremberg. We are planning to take the optional WWII excursion. For those who have been on that excursion, did you also spend any time in Old Town and the Castle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes we did and you can read about the cruise in my review here... https://solentrichardscruiseblog.com/2013/05/28/solent-richard-catches-a-viking-maiden/ Meanwhile I also wrote a review that covered the WWII excursion which we took and couldn't recommend it highly enough... https://solentrichardscruiseblog.com/2013/07/11/one-way-to-do-nuremberg/ The Tiergärtnertor Square in the Old Town area...

hawkeye65 Posted August 17, 2017 #4 Share Posted August 17, 2017 We did not do it, but our fellow pax who did raved about it. We had non-buyers remorse and wished we had. If we're ever there again, we'll definitely do it. Sent from my SM-T350 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Solent Richard Posted August 17, 2017 #5 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Thank you!! Your detail is very helpful. Love your report and pictures! Here is a plan of those 'Rally Grounds' which I recently added to my blog and gives some idea of the scale of the site... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_BJ Posted August 17, 2017 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Which way are you going? Doesn't really matter ..... we extended our RD a couple of days on either side. We ended in Nurem' With two extra days in Nurem' we still didn't come close to seeing everything we wanted to see. I'd worry that the Viking excursion will rush you thru too much with too little time. We spent over half a day in the Documentation Center alone .... we really got our money's worth out of a 'city card' here ... for the transportation alone!

jnew55 Posted August 17, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted August 17, 2017 We begin our cruise in Nuremberg. Which brings up another question! For past cruisers who began their Viking cruise in Nuremberg, does Viking provide shuttles into town on boarding day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheezedr Posted August 17, 2017 #8 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Cannot answer about the in town time as we were being forced into a low water ship switch that day, but I will say the WWII tour was one of the best we have taken . If you have any interest in the war or the history of that period do not miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
