Celebrate the festive season in style as you cruise the Rhine, visiting some of Europe’s most famous Christmas markets. Breathe in the scent of mulled wine and gingerbread as you wander among traditional wooden stalls, strung with twinkling lights and handmade ornaments. Marvel at historic cities and towns, beautifully decorated for the season. In Amsterdam, the glow of festive lights, cosy wooden stalls and the scent of mulled wine and oliebollen set the tone for your journey. From Cologne’s soaring Christmas tree to the magnificent Heidelberg Castle and a special visit to the snow-dusted Ravenna Viaduct in the Black Forest, each stop reveals its own magical chapter of winter along the Rhine.
