Four countries await your arrival for one unique festive party after another. From the large Christmas Markets of Vienna to the more intimate Christmas Markets of Bratislava, Passau and Salzburg—each combines timeless traditions with pageantry. Warm your hands and your spirits with a mug of Glühwein as you walk the Holiday Markets looking for unique treasures to adorn your Christmas tree. Listen to the sounds of music from melodious carolers and choirs with sweet sounding voices. And embrace all the glory and magic of the season in grand European style as you sail along the Danube during the holiday season.
Who will enjoy this cruise: Music aficionados will especially take pleasure in the “sounds of the season” from the classical vibes of Vienna to an organ recital to carolers and choral you might hear in the market. And collectors of handicrafts and ornaments will find one-of-a-kinds in any of the dozen Christmas markets we explore on this unique cruise.
