Christmas Markets… We know they are supposed to be beautiful. We have been told they smell heavenly. We hear the food is delicious. But what actually IS a European Christmas Market? And how is it different from anything you might have been to before?

Travel back through centuries as you walk along cobblestone streets through grand cities and historic towns bedecked with twinkling Christmas trees and lined with wooden huts gleaming with handcrafted treasures.

Christmas Markets are plentiful and are on full display for your pleasure.

Budapest’s Vörösmarty Square, where all products sold in the market are guaranteed as traditionally handmade; Nuremberg’s festive Christkindlesmarkt, the largest and oldest Christmas Market in Germany; and Regensburg’s Christmas Market at Thurn and Taxis Castle, considered one of Bavaria’s most beautiful and romantic, are yours to explore.

Sparkling lights; the festive sounds of children dressed as angels singing carols; enticing smells of hot-mulled wine, roasted chestnuts, sausages and sweet treats of every kind; and timeless wonders are a feast for all your senses.

If you’re looking for a new and exciting holiday season experience, a Christmas Markets river cruise is an incredible option.

I am delighted to be able to bring the magic of the festive season directly to you.
