Dating back to the 15th century, Europe’s Christmas Markets offer unforgettable sights and flavors—twinkling lights, steaming mugs of mulled wine, handcrafted ornaments, and towering Christmas trees that rival the one at Rockefeller Center.

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. River cruises offer a first-class, worry-free way to explore Europe’s historic waterways. 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.
