Christmas Market

I experienced a magical journey through the Rhine and Main River, centered around Europe's enchanting Christmas Markets. As a Christmas enthusiast, I was thrilled to experience firsthand how each European city celebrates this festive season.


European Christmas Markets are truly something else – from delectable local specialties to charming trinket shops and, of course, the beloved glühwein stands. Our itinerary included stops in Amsterdam, Cologne, Rudesheim, Miltenberg, Wertheim, Wurzburg, Bamberg, and Nuremberg, where we immersed ourselves in the festive spirit.


Sailing through the Rhine Gorge offered breathtaking views of ancient castles, while our visits to the markets allowed us to collect Christmas Market mugs and indulge in local delicacies. Optional excursions, like the Romantic Road tour to Rothenburg, provided unique experiences like sausage tastings and sampling famous Christmas pastries called 'snowballs'.


As a fellow Christmas lover, this cruise exceeded all my expectations, and I can't wait to help you embark on your own magical Christmas Market adventure!
