Good Communications Key to Successful 2008 Mini-Reunion

Since good communications are the key to the success of a mission, or a successful Mini-Reunion, your Cruise Committee will be providing links on this web page to the emails and snail mail letters sent to the Cruising Classmates with information about the 2008 Mini-Reunion River Cruise.  It is hoped that having access to these documents from this web page will also provide you with access to them if you have misplaced them.

Nuremberg to Budapest
Romantic Danube
provided by Viking River Cruises

During your 8-day journey discover the grand cities and quaint villages along the celebrated Danube. Explore both sides of Hungary's capital—traditional "Buda" and modern "Pest"—and from Fishermen's Bastion see how the river divides the city. Experience Vienna's imperial architecture and time-honored culture, and tour riverside towns in Austria's Wachau Valley. And in Germany, explore a baroque abbey and stroll cobbled streets lined with half-timbered houses. Savor the tastes of authentic dishes, learn about local legends, and you will understand why Strauss immortalized the romantic Danube in his famous Blue Danube waltz.

Why River Cruising for a Mini-Reunion?

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A RIVER CRUISES TRAVELER
(This is a description of the Viking cruise from Budapest to Nuremberg, which is the reverse of our cruise, but still describes what river cruising is like.)

Imagine that you are standing with a loved one on the top deck in the heart of Hungary's Budapest. It is dusk and you are basking in the glow of the sunset reflecting on the Danube River. And you are thinking about your full day of sightseeing you just enjoyed as you wave goodbye to old "Buda" and modern "Pest."

You are then escorted to your ship's restaurant to leisurely dine on a 5-course gourmet meal and take in the scenery as you cruise. Your taste buds are treated to a medley of sweet and savory as you sample tonight's regional specialty, goulash.

From here, you can join the company of fellow travelers in the lounge to watch a performance of folkloric song and dance and share the day's experiences over a cocktail. And then, you return to the comfort of your deluxe cabin to retire for the evening.

When you awake, you look out your panoramic cabin window to realize you have been magically transported to not only another city, but another country. Breakfast is a colorful buffet of fresh breads and fruit, cereal and eggs; and as you dine, you cruise past the breathtaking scenery and see the ornate steeples of St. Stephan's Cathedral peeking up from the horizon. And you are filled with anticipation because you have arrived in the renowned "City of Waltzes."
