Interesting beginning and end but somewhat boring in the middle.
"The cruise director did provide and interesting narrative on one portion of the journey which made us aware of a hospital in Germany that had housed physically handicapped individuals who were deemed to be a burden on society and were exterminated during WWII.On one of our free tours, we walked in Wittenberg, Germany when the guide surprised at least me, with a statement that he thought that the schools were teaching far too much about WWII...."Read More

Exceptional Trip Despite Low Water in the Elbe!

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Astrild

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

We chose this trip because we wanted to visit the selected destinations and learn much more about the life and history of Prague, the eastern portions of Germany and the fascinating city of Berlin. We chose Viking because of the wonderful job they did for us on our two previous trips, and we know they can make a trip great even IF the ships do not move on the rivers. Yes, we had this happen when ...

Wonderful experience of the Elbe River.

We wanted to see and experience Prague, the Czech Republic and the east German cities. We really enjoy Dresden, the sights and architecture were beautiful. We also enjoyed the Meissen porcelain factory and the city itself. But we felt the highlight of the tours were the tours in Berlin, so much history, such beautiful architecture and we really enjoyed the palaces in Potsdam. The one ...

Wonderful Cruise with Great City Stays

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We have sailed twice with Viking before in Europe and knew pretty much what to expect. We were not disappointed. Viking runs a very professional organization designed to provide a quality vacation. The Astrild was purpose built for the Elbe, which is not a vast river and is a bit off the beaten path. As such, there are only two decks and no elevator. (Something to consider if mobility is an ...

The Viking Staff made the trip exceptional

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

Having been to West Germany with Viking, I wanted to experience East Germany. It was exceptional in all aspects of the trip. Two days in a hotel in Prague. Five days on the ship. Three days in Berlin. In both Prague and Berlin we were comfortable in that Alan (our Cruise Director) had given us a short tour and then many great recommendations of places to eat and/or visit. Both the ...

We did this as our first river cruise because I daughter got married in Germany. I absolutely loved it. I thought it was a beautiful experience. The food was spectacular. Could not have been better. Loved the exposure to all of the German food. The staff on Viking as always were spectacular. The could use with getting new beds on this ship. They are not great. This was our first river cruise so ...

We had already done 2 Viking River cruises and enjoyed them so much, we decided to do another one. This one may have been our favorite. The first two cruises, we did with another couple, but this time it was just the two of us, and because it was just the 2 of us, we made a better effort to meet other people. We met the nicest people on this cruise and always had other people to eat meals with or ...

Christmas Markets & wonderful architecture

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We chose this cruise because we previously enjoyed the Christmas Markets in Austria in 2016. The cruise started in Prague which had the nicest of the markets and was beautiful from the different periods of architecture that made this city from two hundred and beyond to date. The markets in the smaller German towns were nice and the Meissen porcelain factory was extremely interesting. Our ...

Elbe River Christmas market cruise

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Astrild

10+ Cruises • Age 70s

We have wanted to see the Christmas markets for many years and this cruise was through old East Germany on the Elbe which we thought would be interesting. We started in Prague which had a wonderful market in the main city square. After 2 nights in the Hilton (walkable to the city square) we boarded the Astrild which is a smaller river ship-98 pax- compared to the other Viking river ships. There ...

Lots of bus rides

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Astrild

2-5 Cruises • Age 70s

My daughter and I chose this cruise after two wonderful trips on the Rhine and the Danube. I enjoy history of WWII and this trip peaked my interest. I didn't give this cruise five stars because there was more bus riding than I expected. Long rides. We also spent fewer nights on our ship, which we knew in advance, but took away from the beauty of a river cruise. We did a pre excursion in ...

Quality as Expected

Review for a Europe - River Cruise Cruise on Viking Astrild

10+ Cruises • Age 60s

Having never travelled to eastern Germany, I was especially interested in Wittenberg and reformation history. I really enjoyed this part of Germany that contrasted with the areas (west) that I had previously visited. The Viking tours were well organized and of top quality. The ship was modern and very clean and everything functioned properly. Although I felt the food was a little lower quality ...
