Passing through river locks on the Danube River

by Gary Bembridge · September 11, 2014

Have you ever been through a lock on a river?

They are amazing and clever inventions. On my Uniworld Enchanting Danube river cruise we went though almost 20 of them. In this video I take you on one of them with a sped-up trip as the ship is lowered almost 50 feet.

Take a look and let me know if you agree they are quite something!

I grew up in Zimbabwe, but I have been based in London since 1987. My travel life spans more than three decades and that includes more than 95 cruises. In 2005, I launched Tips for Travellers to make it easy and fun for people to discover, plan and enjoy incredible cruise vacations. And the rest, as they say, is history. I have the largest cruise vlogger channel currently on YouTube, with more than 3 million video views per month.
