Pre- & Post River Cruise

We always try to add time before and after a cruise ... be it ocean or river. The longer the better ... if we can swing the days.

Before we could do so for the Eastern European Capitals river cruise, however, we had a few things to consider.

First, how much more time we'd be stealing away from our family visit in Türkiye. Second, airline schedules ... especially important in this case because the budget friendly options we were considering had limited schedules to/from our embarkation and disembarkation ports.

Today, we managed to bookend our river cruise with the appropriate dates. We'll be spending six days in Vienna prior to embarking the longboat Kadlin. And we'll stay on for two extra days after we disembark in Constanta and Viking transfers us to Bucharest.

Now we just need to purchase our airfare and book our accommodations.Les mer
