My husband and I took the Viking Cruise up the Elbe River, flying from London to Berlin, embarking at Magdeburg and visiting various ports on the way to Prague, from which we flew back to London.
This was our first cruise, and we found the Viking cruise line exemplary. We spent 10 days on the cruise (including two nights in hotels) and visited 8 ports.
In Berlin and Prague we stayed in Hilton Hotels, enjoying the high standards of these hotels and the aid of exceptionally helpful Viking employees. On land and on the river, we found the cruise well run, and all the Viking people pleasant and helpful. Service in all departments was excellent. If we had to single out anyone, it would be our cabin steward, but all the Viking employees were outstanding, from the captain and the organizers onwards.
The cabin was well appointed and very adequate. There was sufficient room for two people to occupy it.
