Traditional christmas market in Vienna, Austria

Christmas on the Danube

We love...

Sailing through the UNESCO-listed Wachau Valley aboard a luxurious 5-star ship. Spending Christmas Day admiring Vienna’s beautiful architecture.

Celebrate Christmas on the Danube as we cruise this iconic river on the luxurious MS Amadeus Cara. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to stroll through Christmas markets in Germany and Austria, sampling delicious treats like glühwein and Linzer torte. There’ll be gala dinners and cocktails, live music and fine wines, and a memorable Christmas Day in Vienna (fingers crossed for a dusting of snow). Whether you’re travelling with family, friends or by yourself, this Christmas cruise promises to be a wonderful way to spend the festive season.
