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

This was our first Viking Cruise and it was chosen to get in time in Berlin, Wittenberg and other sights in the former East Germany. Two nights in the Westin Grand in Berlin were included before five days aboard the ship. It was a very good location to work from, but the hotel was not up to Westin standards. Breakfast service was poor and the selections minimal by comparison. Admittedly, what ...

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 ...

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 ...

We chose this cruse because my husband is a WW2 buff and we had never been to Berlin. Also, we had been to Prague in the late 1970s and were curious about how it has changed.
We wanted to do the British Isles that had been canceled on us when they moved the ship to China so this was our second choice.
Matt was the best program director we have ever had. He was friendly, responsive, and ...

We were traveling to Berlin for a wedding and, since we would already be in Berlin, we decided to add a river cruise for after the wedding. After looking at the different offerings, we found this Viking cruise to fit very nicely with our schedule. In fact, we added 2 days on the front end to see more of Berlin before embarking on the Astrid. Viking staff were very accommodating and helpful in ...

Hadn’t been on the Elbe and wanted to tour Wittenburg, so this itinerary fit our ambitions well. The tour of Wittenburg was very well done. The entire trip was great and right up there with Viking standards. Food was excellent and the Viking staff very attentive. The stateroom was outstanding, with nice beds and bathroom facilities. The ship wifi functioned perfectly. It was nice seeing ...
