Christmas Market River Cruise 

November 17th 2025 - Danube

❄️ Unwrap the Magic of Europe’s Christmas Markets on a River Cruise

✨ Too Soon to Think About Christmas? Maybe. But This Is the Trip You Will Not Want to Miss

There is something about Christmastime in Europe — the scent of mulled wine and roasted chestnuts in the air, fairy lights strung across centuries-old streets, and the sound of carols echoing off cathedral walls. The season feels richer here, layered in tradition, flavour, and pure festive joy.

This year, why not experience it all in the most magical way possible — from the comfort of a luxury European river cruise?

🎄 Why a Christmas Market Cruise?

Imagine waking up each day in a new city or town, each more enchanting than the last. One day you are wandering a grand Christmas market outside Vienna’s Schönbrunn Palace. The next, you are tasting gingerbread in a quiet German village, where handmade ornaments line wooden stalls and snow dusts the rooftops.

A river cruise is the perfect way to see many different markets in one unforgettable trip, all without the stress of packing and unpacking, finding hotels, or navigating winter roads.

Your ship docks right in the heart of the city, and from there — the magic is yours to explore.

Space is very limited on this special sailing, and with good reason. We have chosen the end of November when Europe’s Christmas markets are in full swing but the crowds have not yet arrived. It also means you can enjoy this magical experience and still be home in time to spend Christmas with your friends and family in Canada. If this sounds like your kind of holiday season, reach out today. We will happily share what cabins are still available and help you lock in the best pricing while it lasts.
