European Festive Markets Cruise

An 8-day Danube River cruise with tours of Nuremberg, Regensburg, Passau, Linz and Vienna

The attractive cities, towns and villages that line the Danube come alive during the festive season, and what better way to experience this magical time than on a river cruise. The famed Christmas Markets are a delight to explore, full of handmade ornaments, toys, traditional gifts, carol singers, organ music and the smell of gingerbread and mulled wine.
