Thinking of booking a Danube River Cruise? 🚢 Be warned: it’s not all fairytales and castles! 🏰
In this video, I’m sharing the 26 crucial things you need to know before spending your money—including the reality of what you will (and won’t) see from the ship. Yes, there are a lot of trees! 🌳

Michael Horton.. master of the power of three – Preview, Reveal, Review! I would say that was pretty comprehensive review, it certainly whetted my appetite. Thank you.
Ideas for the future…From the wines of Napa Valley in the north, to the naval port of San Diego on the Mexican border; California has a lot to offer. Wouldn't your nearly 5000 subscribers like to accompany you through San Francisco (Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, street cars), Los Angeles (Hollywood, RMS Queen Mary, walk of fame), Yosemite, Lake Tahoe? The list goes on and on.
Thanks for the useful information and entertaining series Michael. Looking forward to the new Mediterranean series.
As for travel ideas, if you haven't been already, I think you'd really enjoy Madeira, and find a lot of content to create. Not the cheapest place though so might be tricky on that front, but it's a wonderful island. I went for the first time this year, luckily stumbled on the flower festival in May, and enjoyed the parade along the promenade in Funchal. I desperately want to go back, I've only scratched the surface.
Great information for people considering a Danube River Cruise. This is an itinerary we've had an eye on for a while. Your series of vlogs has given us a lot to think about. Thanks 👍
You have the wrong Strauss in your picture. That is Richard Strauss, not Johan II who wrote the waltz in question.
