The Pre-Christmas Market Experience:
Many of our travellers seek to capture the essence of Christmas before the day itself. The Christmas markets along the Danube, for instance, offer an enchanting experience. Imagine cruising through Austria, with its snowy landscapes and vibrant markets. Cities like Salzburg come alive with festive cheer, making these cruises an ideal way to get into the Christmas spirit.
The Variety of Destinations:
Whether you choose the Danube, the Rhine, or the picturesque streets of Strasbourg, the ‘Capital of Christmas,’ each destination offers its unique festive charm. The beauty of these cruises is that the destination often doesn’t matter as much as the experience itself – each will undoubtedly get you revved up for Christmas
Unique Christmas Market Finds:
Beyond the traditional sausages and Glühwein, Christmas markets on these cruises offer unique treasures. Handmade glass Christmas decorations and other artisanal crafts provide a special touch to your holiday shopping, offering items you won’t find anywhere else.
Choosing the Right Cruise:
Selecting the right Christmas or New Year cruise depends on various factors – when you want to travel, your budget, and current offers. Our team at Global River Cruising is dedicated to helping you find the perfect match based on your preferences.
Christmas and New Year Cruises:
While not as numerous as pre-Christmas market cruises, the options for spending Christmas or New Year on a river cruise are still varied and cater to different budgets. The Rhine and Danube are popular choices, offering breathtaking views of the mountains and charming towns along their banks. For something different, consider the Rhône in Southern France.
The Colour of Provence river cruise by AmaWaterways is a delightful Christmas and New Year Cruise which has become quite popular in recent years.
A Festive Journey Through the Heart of Europe:
Imagine spending your festive season cruising through the heart of Europe, visiting iconic cities and enjoying the winter scenery. From the Swiss mountains to the vibrant cities along the Rhine and Danube, these cruises offer a unique way to celebrate the holidays.

A Christmas or New Year river cruise is more than just a journey; it’s an immersive experience into the heart of Europe’s festive traditions.

I’m originally from Germany and traveling has always been a part of my family’s DNA. Over the past 20 years, I’ve lived and worked in 5 different countries (USA, Austria, Russia, Peru and the UK) and learnt to speak 3 foreign languages (Russian and Spanish are getting a bit rusty though). I thoroughly enjoy working with travel enthusiasts who like to explore and visit new parts of the world as much as I do.
