Blogger Contest: Scenic CruiseThis past summer I went on a spectacular river cruise along the Danube with Scenic Cruises. I always thought river cruising was for old people but now I know just how wrong I was. I had an amazing time starting out in Budapest and ended up in Regensburg, near Munich. I visited four countries along the way: Hungary, Slovakia, Austria and Germany. I could have added one more, Czech Republic, if I had chosen a different excursion. What’s amazing about Scenic Cruises is that all of their excursions are INCLUDED for all passengers. Oh, and did I mention that they have electric bikes? No other river cruise company offers this and it makes a huge difference going up hills. Here’s my story about my river cruise with Scenic Cruises.

As you can see from the photos, I had an amazing time. Now, guess what? Scenic Cruises has teamed up with JohnnyJet.com to offer an eight-day European River Cruise for two as the prize for a blogger contest!

    This has been floating around in my mind with an exclamation point since we spoke at TBEX. My sister has reminded me approximately 1,457 times (but who’s counting) to enter so better get to work on my entry. Oh dear – went over 500 words in mere enthusiasm!

    Writing our entry for this contest was an excellent way to continue to avoid unpacking all of the boxes from my recent move! It was great to see you and Natalie at TBEX John and I’m working on convincing my sister to go to Malaysia and get burned with cigars to get rid of her asthma! Thanks for the opportunity to enter this contest.

      ;-) Great to see you too and good luck!

    I would love to do this! But it seems that airfare is not included so that makes it tough. I love this idea though.

      Airfare is not included

    I’ve already written and published about scenic river cruising on my blog. Can I just link it to you or do I need to do another one? http://airlandandsea.wordpress.com/2013/10/04/river-cruising/

    1. Johnny Jet|

      Good question. To play it safe just create another post with five reasons and then tweet it.
