AMA Embarkation Time Vilshofen

[castle701]

Hello experienced River Cruisers,

I am taking 12 people via mini bus from Munich to the port in Vilshofen to board the AmaMagna. It is noted that Embarkation is at 3pm - is that the real time they start? It will take approximately 2 hours to get from Munich to the port so I am trying to figure the best time to schedule our pick up. Is Vilshofen a nice town to walk around for lunch and such. I just would rather let folks relax longer or sleep in while in Munich than to just hang around waiting for embarkation in Vilshofen. Can anyone share their experience?

You can definitely drop off your luggage prior to  3 pm but we found that embarkation began at the specified time.

Vilshofen is a very small town - not much to see IMHO. I would opt for relaxing longer in Munich. Last year, we took the train from Munich to Vilshofen - arrived about 30 minutes prior to embarkation.
