Christmas Markets on the Danube
Experience the magic of Europe at Christmas time on a 7-night journey along the Danube, from Passau to Budapest, where twinkling markets and riverside towns create a festive winter escape.
Begin in Passau, the German “Three Rivers City,” where colorful buildings line the banks of the Danube. In Linz, take a walking tour and sample Linzer torte, a rich pastry filled with fruit preserves and one of Europe’s oldest and most beloved desserts. Continue to Melk, home to a 900-year-old Benedictine abbey, where beautifully decorated buildings and a lively Christmas market bring the town to life during the holiday season. Sail through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Wachau Valley to Durnstein. In Vienna, enjoy a concert in one of the city’s beautiful concert halls, surrounded by the musical legacy of composers who helped establish Vienna as a center of classical music and opera. Continue to Bratislava, where you can visit the home of a Slovakian family for coffee and cake. Conclude your journey in Budapest with a traditional Hungarian dinner followed by Hungarian folk dancing.
On board, enjoy small-ship luxury, regionally inspired dishes, hand-crafted beverages, panoramic views, and more.
