Former East Germany is beautiful, I felt a real connection there. The crew with Viking take such good care of you, we loved it!
"Actually, I was born very far north Germany, but I remember going to Berlin when I was a kid.It created in me a desire to explore more and see more of the country I was born in and the places of my mother and grandmother - going back hundreds of years...."Read More

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 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 ...

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 ...

I chose this cruise as it was going through an area of Germany that I remember from my childhood. Actually, I was born very far north Germany, but I remember going to Berlin when I was a kid. I have many tassen in my china cabinet and even some old pieces from Dresden - which I inherited from my grandmother. I wanted to go somewhere other than the Rhine and my daughter and I really wanted to ...

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 ...

One of our goals in cruising is to see places we've never been before. We are history buffs and are primarily interested in cruising for the destinations and excursions. This was our seventh Viking cruise (four on rivers) and eighth overall cruise. We'd received a refund for a cancelled extension on another cruise, and this cruise was about the right budget for that. Our excursions on this ...

Celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. Crew and ship were tops! River was a pleasure. We heard cuckoo birds in the woods by the river. The tours were interesting and beautiful. The pianist was superb. The meals were fabulous. Other guests were very nice. I would love to go again; threatened to never leave! Everything was clean and modern. Bed was comfortable. Available tea, coffee, and ...

We wanted to visit Berlin for the first time and revisit Prague again after many years. The Viking Astrild is one of the smaller ships in the fleet. Our ship was not fully booked and day tours fit easily in two of Viking’s busses. We were able to meet most of our fellow travelers on the short five days on the river aboard the Astrild. The Elbe is a relatively small river with mostly farm lands an ...

Chose this cruise because we had never travelled to East Germany before and wanted to see some of the cities of historical significance. Also, had never been to Berlin and were interested in seeing it. Dresden, Potsdam, Meissen, Wittenberg were also fascinating! Our local guides were always knowledgeable and added much to the stops. There was minimum time spent on buses traveling to sites and ...
