CalifCruiser Posted April 27, 2007 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hi. Has anyone taken the Swiss Emerald (or other) Tauck Danube cruise? Will go in July, any comments would be appreciated. Thanks. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnVacation11 Posted April 30, 2007 #2 Share Posted April 30, 2007 We cruised on the Swiss Emerald in June 2006 from Amsterdam to Budapest. It was a brand new boat then and very luxurious. We were in the least expensive cabin on the bottom deck. It was small but adequate as we did not spend a lot of time in there. We were blessed with great weather so we spent most of our time on deck watching the scenery passing by. It was my 1st river cruise and I was very pleasantly surprised how elegant and well appointed the boat was. Food was excellent. Breakfast was buffet with cold and hot items (fresh baked bread and pastries were divine!). Lunch was also buffet with a special hot item that was prepared individually if you wanted to order it. Dinner was ordered from a menu - usually 2 or appetizers, 2 soups, 1 salad and meat, fish and vegeterian entre. Dessert was a buffet of cheeses, fruit, ice cream and special dessert prepared each night. Wine and beer was included with lunch and dinner. Let me know if you have any specific questions. I am attaching a picture of our cabin E106. Eva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are sailing the Black Sea to Budapest cruise with Tauck. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
