A Journey of Opera Highlights & Christmas Radiance
About This Cruise
Spend Christmas Eve in Passau!
The Christmas cruise begins in Nuremberg, world-famous for its Christkindlesmarkt. The old town, with its timber-framed houses and the imperial castle, glows with festive lights, the scent of mulled wine, and gingerbread filling the air.
In Regensburg, one of Germany’s best-preserved medieval cities, highlights include St. Peter’s Cathedral and the Stone Bridge. The wintery Danube landscape, with quiet floodplains and gentle hills, adds to the charm.
A highlight is Passau, at the confluence of the Danube, Inn, and Ilz. On Christmas Eve, the bells of St. Stephen’s Cathedral ring out, and the city shines in festive splendor. Attending midnight mass or strolling through the illuminated old town makes for a magical evening.
The journey continues to Linz, where baroque squares meet modern art. The decorated Hauptplatz and the glowing Danube embankments create a warm holiday atmosphere.
In Melk, the Benedictine Abbey towers majestically above the river, framed by the snowy hills of the Wachau Valley.
Dürnstein enchants with its narrow streets and castle ruins. The vineyards rest under winter frost, giving the landscape a quiet, mystical charm.
Finally, Vienna welcomes guests with imperial elegance. Christmas markets at the Rathaus and Schönbrunn Palace, festive lights on the Ringstrasse, and the timeless sound of waltzes create a splendid finale to this unforgettable holiday journey.
