Prague?? On the Danube?

For Germany: Maundy Thursday and Saturday shouldn't be an issue, but Good Friday is a public holiday. You may want to check on whatever places in Regensburg you want to visit.

Can't answer for the other countries, except that you may want to be aware that Easter is on April 8 next year in the orthodox churches.

Anna, Prague is mentioned probably as a land based extension to the river cruise - not that it's on the Danube.

I figured as much.

I must admit I was simply a bit annoyed at the vague and general nature of the question, and all of this to be answered until tomorrow. A route passing through several countries and lots of different towns, obviously with all different holiday dates and even different Easter dates, no specifications at all as to which places, museums etc. they are asking about… and then, only upon further inquiry, Prague, of all places, suddenly appearing on the list. Why would you want helpful forum members to waste their time trying to answer your question about Easter on a Danube cruise if you aren't going to be anywhere near the Danube for Easter?

Sorry about my annoyance, should have just ignored the question.
