    Tour Details
    • AmaWaterwaysOperator•Written January 2022

      We have heard from the operator and they do not offer a Munich extension on this itinerary, however they do offer an extension to Prague. A transfer from Nuremberg to Munich would be between 60 and 100 euros per person.

      we have a group of 8 people looking for a river cruise and Octoberfest in Munich. We like the cruise but have no access to Munich.
