For a shorter — yet just as sweet — river cruise option, consider the Christmas Markets Cruise with Croisi Europe Cruises. Over the course of four days, you'll visit some of Europe's most enchanting cities, such as Strasbourg, St. Goarshausen, Rüdesheim, Mainz, and Nuremberg.
Festivities abound, as there are Christmas markets to discover in each city. In fact, did you know the Nuremberg Christmas Market — also known as the "Christkindlesmarkt" — is one of the largest holiday markets in the world? Don't worry, you'll have all the time you need to take in the seasonal treats and handmade goods.
