1-10 of 50 Prague to Europe - River Cruise Viking Astrild Reviews
This was our second Viking river cruise following up on the Grand European. The smaller Astrild was much more intimate than the normal long ship. There were 95 passengers on our cruise, and it was very easy to get to know folks. The crew was outstanding in all areas. Our room attendant kept our cabin spotless and our favorite waiters went above and beyond to please. The food was delicious and ...
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 ...
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.

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 ...

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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
