Christmas Market Spree
About This Cruise
Would you like to experience the magical charm of the Christmas season in one of Europe’s most enchanting regions? Then let yourself be swept away by a festive short cruise along the Rhine, taking you to some of Germany’s finest Christmas markets.
Your journey begins in Düsseldorf, where the historic Christmas market welcomes you with sparkling lights, beautifully decorated stalls, and the comforting scent of mulled wine and roasted almonds. Stroll through the romantically lit old town, browse for handcrafted gifts, and soak in the festive spirit over a warm cup of cocoa.

In Mainz, local delicacies like spiced cookies and artisanal cheeses tempt your palate, while regional artists offer handmade treasures for every taste. The market around the majestic cathedral is particularly atmospheric, its stunning silhouette adding a special touch to your festive experience.
Your visit to Koblenz completes the tour: the Christmas market in the picturesque old town stands out with its location at the Deutsches Eck, home to the monumental equestrian statue of Emperor Wilhelm I. Here, history and holiday cheer blend into a truly unforgettable experience.
After a day filled with seasonal wonders, you’ll return to Düsseldorf, where the festive memories will linger long after the journey ends. This cruise is the perfect getaway for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the joy and anticipation of the Christmas season.
