“visegrad is actually a really great destination however the “cruise” is more akin to a ferry ride. Despite being a six hour return trip the onboard audio is for a different trip, the onboard cafe/bar did not open so there is no chance of a hot drink nor water, there is no information about the toilets nor onboard safety, and the joyless crew barely speak, so do not provide any information about the journey nor the destination.”
