Christmas Markets with Paris

Christmas Markets with Paris

Experience Europe’s magical Christmas traditions

Experience the quintessential European Christmas on a river cruise across the continent during the festive season. Explore bustling yuletide markets, marvel at twinkling decorations, be swept away by the warmth of tradition and, with a touch of luck, feel the season’s first snowflake settle gently on your nose.

Embrace the magic of Christmas time in Europe. From Santa Claus to Christmas trees and exchanging gifts, many of our most treasured holiday traditions began here. Experience them all on a festive 15-day cruise along the Main, Rhine and Danube rivers. Browse the glorious Christmas markets as you sip on warming mugs of spiced mulled wine, visit fairytale palaces and enjoy an exclusive classical concert in the Palais Liechtenstein as you make your way across Europe on a luxurious Scenic Space-Ship. Extend your cruise with a four-day stay in Paris to experience the City of Light at its most magical. Luxury accommodation, included transfers and a Scenic Tour Director make for seamless travel.
