But you have to go thru a lot of Locks. Be sure to keep you head down when you go under some of the bridges - it is very close to the ship from the bottom of the bridges. At one bridge we even had to lay our deck chairs flat on the deck. There is not much traffic on the river - it is really peaceful.   John W.

Then click om "Castles Along The Rhine and Danube" you will get more information then I could give you. The cruise was 16 days.and around $10,000 for two.This included air from Washington Dullas. We went from Budapest to Amsterdam. If you go get A cabin with french balcony. We were treated very nice and the food was great. River cruises are much better then ocean cruises. Then I was in the Navy 20 years You only go around once. So go.   dinotars Senior Member Username: Dinotars Post Number: 4463 Registered: 06-2003 Posted on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 - 11:07 am:    Garland, Could you please tell where you started the cruise,length of trip and cost.   Garland Summerall Intermediate Member Username: Garland Post Number: 118 Registered: 12-2004 Posted on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 - 03:47 am:    My wife and I took a "Castles Along The Rhine And Danube" with Vantage.
