Review summary

Needs to be a bigger variety of excursions. Some ports you had no options. Did the Hamburg extension. Very disappointing. Train ride from Berlin was nice as was the tour, but everything was on day 1. Day 2 you were left on your own. Supposed to have 2 breakfasts, only had one. Viking schedules early flights and you are unable to have a breakfast on the last day. Excursions should be on day 2. Too much all in one day.
