Five colleagues and I hope to take the Viking cruise "Danube Waltz" in July, 2014. We will be travelling from Budapest to Passau, Germany, followed by a 3-day extension in Prague. Though I plan to read up on these places, has anyone here taken a similar trip? Do you have some good advice, recommendations of sites to see (or affordable places to eat in Prague, where lunches and dinners will not be provided)?
And re. the cruise itself, do you have any advice for a first-time "river-cruiser"? For most trips, I pack very light (a la Rick Steves, with just one carry-on bag stowed in the overhead bin, to avoid any lost luggage). Will I really need a better wardrobe than that? Will I be required to dress up, or can I get by with the usual "business casual" attire of the lightly packed carry-on?
Thanks to all of you, in advance. The best surprises on any trip seem to come from those who have already been there. Those are the folks who have a gem to share....... I just don't know who you are!
Again, many thanks!
