I’m just back from my week on the Scenic Amber, and I had a wonderful time.
It’s so much hard work, and certainly a huge investment of time and money for me to travel on all the different river cruise companies so that I can keep up-to-date on developments for my clients, and then ensure that I am matchmaking you to the right product when you want to do a river cruise – but – I’ll take it! (“Nice work, if you can get it. And you can get it if you try.” Sing it, Billie!)
I certainly had a great week!
After flying into Munich, I started the reverse direction on the Upper Danube cruise than I’d done on the AMA Magna in March.
We started our Scenic Amber cruise in Regensburg. It had been a few years since I was in Regensburg, Germany, on another river cruise line (Tauck – AMA’s start/ endpoint is Vilshofen in Germany), so it was great fun to return to Regensburg.
Regensburg is a world UNESCO heritage site – and it’s easy to see why https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1155 – as noted, “Old town of Regensburg with Stadtamhof
Located on the Danube River in Bavaria, this medieval town contains many buildings of exceptional quality that testify to its history as a trading centre and to its influence on the region from the 9th century. A notable number of historic structures span some two millennia and include ancient Roman, Romanesque and Gothic buildings. Regensburg’s 11th- to 13th-century architecture – including the market, city hall and cathedral – still defines the character of the town marked by tall buildings, dark and narrow lanes, and strong fortifications. The buildings include medieval patrician houses and towers, a large number of churches and monastic ensembles as well as the 12th-century Old Bridge. The town is also remarkable for the vestiges testifing to its rich history as one of the centres of the Holy Roman Empire that turned to Protestantism.”
We started off our touring day off right with beer and sausage, and squeezed in some sightseeing too.
Regensburg is a Bavarian city known for its medieval architecture, including the 12th-century Stone Bridge and the 13th-century Regensburg Cathedral. The Walhalla, a Parthenon replica, is also a must-see in the area.
And to top it off, the beautiful sunshine welcomed us to Regensburg.
Let me know if you’d like to visit Regensburg!
