Make this holiday season extra special and welcome 2013 in grand style

Have an unforgettable holiday season. Celebrate Christmas in Regensburg, one of the loveliest Medieval towns in Europe, where you will have time to attend Christmas Mass in one of Regensburg’s magnificent churches, followed by a grand celebration onboard your ship. Learn how the tradition of glassblowing has remained basically unchanged since the glassblower’s pipe was invented some 2,000 years ago, and take a horse-drawn carriage ride through the Bavarian Forest.

We have arranged for a private cocktail reception for you at Artstetten Castle with Princess Anita von Hohenberg, a descendant of the royal Habsburgs. You will also welcome the New Year at an exclusive gala dinner and dance in a Viennese palace. While here, you will be treated to a festive dinner and a private concert, at which you can even waltz to the famous tunes of Strauss and Mozart—all in the elegant ambience of this historic salon.

Three captivating countries—Germany, Austria, and Hungary—plus one enchanting river, the Danube, will provide the perfect backdrop for celebrating the holidays in grand style.

Who will enjoy this cruise:
Those looking for an extra special way to celebrate the holidays and welcome in the New Year in grand style will be thrilled by this enchanting cruise.
