Christmas Market Tours vs. River Cruises

Prefer to unpack once? A Christmas Market River Cruise is your answer. Wake up in a new city each day as you glide past castles and riverside villages.

Or choose a guided land tour to dive deeper into cities like Prague, Vienna, and Budapest—with charming stops in towns like Bratislava along the way. Both options include immersive activities like biking along riverside trails or sipping Glühwein under the stars.

  • Celebrate Advent in Europe’s most iconic Christkindlmarkts—an unforgettable bucket-list experience.

  • Explore top-rated markets filled with rare holiday ornaments and artisan gifts you won’t find at home.

We cannot begin to say what an excellent job that our travel agent, Cheryl has always done for us, she consistently does an outstanding job. We are not seasoned travelers and she has always been very patient with us. When we inquire about anything her response is both rapid and fitting. If we were to able to travel more she would be our first choice to utilize due to her fine attitude and talent.

Good service and Sandi was very helpful. Clients need all details as normally they are far away from your office and with the time difference of 10-12 hours it is the prompt reply with all details makes the difference between good and bad service.
