9 Night Cities Along The Elbe Westbound (Prague To Berlin)

Review summary

The Elegant Elbe itinerary visits a number of interesting ports with historical significance. Prague and Berlin are both very interesting cities to visit. The low water and subsequent lack of actual cruising detracted from the overall experience. The move between ships was quite smooth other than having to pack and unpack an extra time.
