Bucharest Post-Cruise Logistics ✓

With our departure from Bucharest set for 30 October, another set of logistics for our river cruise got completed today.

We were hoping that we could fly SunExpress nonstop back to İzmir. Unfortunately, this late in the season, the airline is no longer flying from Bucharest.

Instead, we will be flying Pegasus Airlines ... with a layover at Sabiha Gökçen Airport [SAW] in İstanbul.

Accommodations are all set as well.

Since we're in Bucharest just two nights post cruise, we opted to book ourselves into the JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel. Convenient because this is where Viking is putting us up for one night after we transfer from Constanta, our debarkation port, to Bucharest.

With our pre- and post-cruise logistics completed, I can now turn my attention to planning our sightseeing in the Eastern European countries we will be visiting on the cruise.Read more
