Pleased to meet you virtually, Robin and look forward to connecting onboard. This will be our second river cruise, but it has been 8 years since our first, the River of Gold in Pidtugal. Times have certainly changed since then, but we are going to try and keep a positive attitude if we have any travel difficulties. Where are you travelling from?My wife and I are on the same Mimir voyage. We haven't been on a Viking river cruise before and are looking forward to it. I did live in Nurenberg, and Bamberg Germany in the 70's and can speak German (though I haven't for quite some time).
We each took both a coat and a small umbrella. We never used umbrellas. I never wore my coat but when on deck for the full day of 'castle watching' I wore a sweatshirt over a long-sleeved shirt. My husband wore just his polo shirt other people had on coats and were wrapped in blankets. I say this so that you can understand everyone has a different tolerance for the cold. My husband seems impervious while others' teeth were chattering. I recommend bringing a coat and a zip-up sweatshirt. It seemed warm to us most of the time. If you are accustomed to cold weather, you probably will not get cold.Hello, Ms Lawrence. Since you've traveled this same route before, can you let us know if we should bring sweaters or jackets, or is this time of year still fairly warm? We're looking forward to this journey and to meeting fellow travelers.
