Switzerland, France, and Germany provide the perfect backdrop for this true connoisseur's Christmas Markets cruise. Visit the delightful Christmas Markets of Basel, Switzerland, and Strasbourg, France. Then continue on to Germany, where many of our signature holiday traditions began, with stops in lovely medieval villages and the majestic city of Cologne with its grand cathedral. As you sail the Rhine, especially the 40 miles along the upper middle Rhine Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, you'll be captivated by ancient fortresses, medieval castles and half-timbered villages all set in a winter wonderland. This cruise offers so much! The personality of each country shines even more brightly at this time of year because of each country's special holiday traditions. Share the joy of the season and enter into a festive mood as you discover one beautiful gift after another along the Rhine.
