CHRISTMASTIME ON THE DANUBE- sold out!

7 Day River Cruise Vienna to Nuremberg
This Christmastime River cruise begins in Austria’s magical capital of Vienna, home to the sounds of Mozart, Strauss, and the Vienna Boys’ Choir. See the famous sights with a Local Guide or opt to go on a culinary tour through the Christmas markets to get a taste of all the best flavors Austria offers during this time of year. Cruise through the wintery landscape of the picturesque Wachau Valley to Melk. Here, you’ll tour the magnificent 11th century Benedictine Abbey—one of Europe’s largest monasteries—where monks still stroll amidst the sacred walls. Arrive in Passau, Germany, and visit the city’s charming Christmas market set against the breathtaking backdrop of St. Stephen’s Cathedral, a masterpiece of baroque architecture. In Regensburg, after a guided tour of the city, savor traditional sausages at Historiche Wurstküche (Old Sausage Kitchen), one of Germany’s oldest restaurants and enjoy a tasting of German beers.
Learn about Christmas traditions as you cruise to Nuremberg, the
thousand-year-old city with its medieval fortifications and gothic churches.
The Old Town is illuminated with festive lights and decorations, and the
Christmas market has dozens of stalls offering traditional wares, such as
Lebkuchen (spicy gingerbread), Glühwein (mulled wine), and unique decorations
and ornaments. A unique holiday river cruise vacation which offers the chance
to savor the views, smells, and tastes of centuries-old Christmas markets and
explore historical medieval sites…a fantastic way to celebrate the holiday season!
