Christmas Markets on the Rhine

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, from grand cathedral squares to atmospheric old towns. Along the way, enjoy a special festive visit to the snow-dusted Ravenna Viaduct in the Black Forest, admire Heidelberg’s romantic castle and stand before the Rhineland’s largest Christmas tree in Cologne. Your journey concludes in Amsterdam, where the glow of Christmas markets, cosy stalls and Dutch winter charm create a truly magical finale.
