We took the Viking cruise. No it did not take hours to get to the
center of the cities. You can easily take subway in either city to
get to the city center from the docks. The rooms were very small,
with two very narrow beds and a closet for a toilet. But it's OK for
us because we tried to spend a lot of times on shore. They tried very
hard to entertain us on board, but it's still a small river cruise,
not one of those big ocean cruise.
