Review summary
We took the cruise for the history and weren't dissapointed. Good local guides and a very experienced and knowledgeable director. We were in great hotels in every city (we did the Poland extension). Viking does a great job of a seamless experience from the airport pick up to the airport drop off. Everything is well organized. It would have been a better experience if the tips for local guides and drivers were included as with Uniworld and Scenic. Viking staff were excellent all round. Our tour directors were excellent; Sabi for Poland extension and Serge for cruise.Embarkation

Ship tip
The itinerary is all about the history. Lots of early mornings if you want to do the excursions. It's only 5 nights on the ship. Lots of bussing along with a number of nights in hotels. Expect to do a LOT of walking with few options if you are not mobile. Some days we did 20,000+ steps.
