Elbe River Cruises

Highlights of Elbe River Cruises

The once divisive Elbe River is today a symbol of unity. Along this scenic river, East Germany became free, and cities that once lay in rubble now stand tall. With much of this breathtaking river unaltered by mankind, it is a truly inspirational waterway. Here are some sample highlights you will see with Viking:

Berlin’s ultra-modern, forward-thinking architecture
Rococo splendor of Potsdam
The incredibly preserved medieval city of Prague
Dresden’s baroque wonders, risen from wartime ashes
The natural beauty of the Elbe Biosphere Reserve
Saxon’s Switzerland’s monoliths of natural rock formations
Wittenberg, birthplace of the Protestant Reformation
Meissen’s famed porcelain factory
