Creator's Key Takeaways

The entire time was filled with castles, culture, and just so much to see and do.

The food on Alma Waterways is second to none. Every bite is worth it.

We could not recommend on the waterways more highly.

The experience of a river cruise in Europe just cannot be compared to an ocean cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Do not be scared by the sticker price because it's all inclusive.
Stay on the bridge past the halfway mark for the best pictures of Neuschwanstein Castle.
Get to the turnstiles exactly when your ticket time starts for Neuschwanstein Castle.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Missing a balcony on a river cruiseYou won't miss it because there are many outdoor spaces on the ship.
Stairs at Neuschwanstein CastleYou need to be physically able to climb about 300 stairs, including spiral staircases.
