Since the fall of the Berlin Wall, the unification and restoration of Germany has been nothing short of amazing, and nowhere is this more evident than the beautiful cities of Berlin and Dessau. Today, the country is home to a vibrant culture, breathtaking scenery and historical monuments. If you’d like to explore everything that makes this destination so special, then consider booking a European river cruise. Two river cruise lines we particularly recommend are Viking River Cruises and Avalon Waterways.
These cruise lines have stylish ships complete with everything from cooking demonstrations to onboard lectures which immerse you in the culture and cuisine of the destinations you are visiting. Many of these cruises begin in Berlin or Prague, and depending on the itinerary you select, your river cruise may stop in scenic spots like Potsdam, Wittenberg and Saxon, Switzerland.
As you sail down the Elbe River, you’ll see what makes East Germany so special. You’ll have the opportunity stroll through the manicured gardens of Dessau, discover how and where some of the world’s best porcelain is produced at the Meissenware factory in Meissen and stand in awe of the famous rock tower known as the Bastei in Saxon.
Toward the end of your trip, your journey will take you to Litomerice, one of the most picturesque towns in the Czech Republic and Melnick. Here, see you’ll have the opportunity to explore St. Stephen’s Cathedral, the Jesuit Church and historic Market Square.
River cruising has become one of the most popular ways of traveling for a variety of reasons. Once you step onboard your floating hotel, you’ll truly experience the history and beauty of all Europe has to offer. Some people choose to begin or end their vacation by staying an extra day or two in Prague or Berlin. This allows you to get the most out of your European river cruise experience.
