My husband and I cruised on Viking Shumann along the Elbe River in March going from Magdeburg (Germany) to Melnik (Czech Republic). We extended our trip two-day before in Berlin and two-day after in Prague on our own. (You need to pay Viking deviation fees if you choose this option.) This choice was more economical and convenient for us. Viking arranged our airfare.

The ship was sold out. We booked a B category stateroom, which was on the lower level of the ship. We saw the Elbe River up close and personal. The stateroom was bit on the small side, but it had a large window. I enjoyed sitting by the windowsill and watching the sceneries go by. The room was comfortable and quiet. There were two twin beds, separated by a table. The temperature control was located on the side of the table.

There’s not much closet space in the room, so we left most of our clothes inside our luggage and stored underneath the bed. Reading from the previous reviewers description of the bathroom, we were bit nervous about the drainage situation. We needn’t have worried. The bathroom floor was slanted slightly toward the drain so the water flowed toward it. While the floor mat did get wet, our wonderful housekeeper, Marija, always gave us fresh one every day. The amenities provided are from L’Occitane, and smells wonderful! The towels were all bit rough. I wished I had brought my own face towel from home.

Standard Stateroom

The room was dequate but hard to walk around. There is an armoire with hangers and safe inside.
