22 OCT 2010: Ed. Note: When we learned Ilona Kauremszky was taking a river cruise with her mother, we thought it might be interesting to have Mrs. Kauremszky tell us her own version of the trip. She agreed and so in this and the previous article, we are delighted to be able to present the Heart of the Danube both from the perspective of a seasoned travel writer, and through the relived memories of a traveller ‘going home’ after a lifetime away.
A beautiful dream came true when my darling daughter Ilona surprised me with an amazing river cruise on the Danube. I have not been on a ship since I arrived in Canada as a little girl.
I must say our ship was luxurious and fit for a king. The ship’s captain along with his crew were most pleasant throughout the whole cruise!
