Savor These Holiday Sailings

Celebrate the Festive Season: Winter Magic on board

We’ll welcome you aboard the most elegantly decorated ships on the river: Sip hot mulled win, enjoy sweet and savory delights, cozy Christmas lights and decorations, and participate in heartwarming traditions. 


Discover Christmas Markets Like a Local

Likely the most atmospheric holiday season activity available is visiting a Christmas market in Europe, with friends or family alike. We promise: For those who have only known our river cruises from the summer, our Christmas Markets Cruises will delight you with their very special charm and family atmosphere!

Our favorite Christmas markets

Speyer, Germany

It may not be one of the largest along the Rhine but it’s certainly one of the most idyllic – and the pretzels are absolutely divine! Rhine

Nuremberg, Germany

It is considered one of the largest and most famous Christmas markets in the world: Enjoy traditional Christmas decorations and sweet treats such as gingerbread and Spekulatius almond cookies. Danube

Vienna, Austria

It’s really quite hard to beat the atmosphere at the Schönbrunn Christmas market. The palace and its outbuildings form an impressive backdrop for a plethora of artisanal Christmas decorations. Danube

Strasbourg, France

For four centuries now, the emblematic Strasbourg’s Christmas markets have been working its magic in the European capital. Over 300 wooden chalets, spread around different squares in the city. Rhine

Regensburg, Germany

Princess Gloria of Thurn und Taxis and her family like to stroll among the guests at this event, which is held at their own doorstep. Danube
