Sailing from March 2024 this journey is priced from $5,895 per person in a Standard stateroom including savings of up to $4,600 per couple*.

Starting with four river ships in 1997, they now boast a fleet of more than 80 ships, offering more destination-focused and culturally immersive experiences. The yuletide season in Europe transforms beautiful squares into delightful Christmas markets offering hand-carved toys and ornaments, spicy glühwein and aromatic gingerbread.

Celebrating the festive season in Europe is an experience like no other, immersing you in the spirit and traditions of Christmas.
