Christmastime in Europe is an enchanting experience. Spectacular architecture is adorned with festive decor, cheerful twinkling lights illuminate cobbled streets, and tranquil town squares come alive with picturebook Christmas Markets. Marvel at this and more aboard a Christmas Markets cruise holiday. Relax in warmth and comfort on board a deluxe river cruise ship as you sail the Danube, Main or Rhine Rivers, stopping en route to explore magnificent Christmas Markets. Admire the spectacle of colourful wooden huts crammed with hand-crafted wooden toys, sparkling baubles, gifts, souvenirs, and plenty of festive arts and crafts. Enjoy the mouth-watering aromas of hot mulled wine, honey-roasted almonds and cinnamon cookies. Indulge in delicious soft gingerbread and tasty spiced biscuits. And perhaps try delicious local specialities such as glühwein, sweet svarene vino or savoury Bratwurst.
