Public german TV station WDR from North Rhine Westphalia goes on a one week cruise down the Danube. They are cruising on the MS Primadonna, a catamaran, from Passau down to Budapest. Though the film is on german, it might be a good chance to refresh some memories of your cruise OR to get an idea what you are going to see if you decide to take a river cruise down the Danube.
01:40 - Helicopter shots of the high water in Passau
06:00 - Linz at night
07:30 - Melk Abbey
13:30 - Wachau Valley
16:00 - Dürnstein
23:00 - Vienna Prater at night (followed by a long and boring interview)
28:00 - Vienna Sightseeing (followed by auction and interview)
39:00 - Bratislava (Interview with Michal Hvorecky, writer and former cruise director)
52:00 - Inside view of the MS Primadonna (playing Bingo as an activity)
55:00 - Entering Gabcikovo lock
58:00 - Esztergom
1:01:00 - Budapest (followed by a long and boring interview)
1:20:00 - more impressions of Budapest
Interesting fact as a footnote: While the international english market competes by offering more and more all inclusive packages, the german concept is completely different. Guest have to book every single excursion or can not join and have to explore the place without a guide. They pay 160€ (200$) for all excursion on a 7 day cruise (see minute 21:00).
