About this cruise
Danube
Experience the magic of the Advent season on an unforgettable river cruise along the Danube. Your journey begins in Vienna, where the festively decorated Christmas market in front of City Hall, the scent of cinnamon, mulled wine, and roasted chestnuts, and atmospheric music will transport you into a Christmas wonderland. The magnificent boulevards are aglow with lights, stirring a sense of anticipation for Christmas.
The journey continues to Dürnstein, a charming little town in the Wachau region, where the medieval alleyways and the ruins overlooking the Danube take on a particularly romantic atmosphere in the gentle snowfall. A visit to the impressive Melk Abbey, considered a jewel of Baroque architecture, brings you into contact with culture and history in a truly memorable way.
In Linz and Passau, you’ll experience the Danube decked out in lights: the artfully decorated Christmas markets invite you to stroll, marvel, and enjoy. Handcrafted gifts, regional specialties, and musical performances create a warm, festive atmosphere.
The grand finale is your stay in Regensburg, where the UNESCO-protected Old Town shines in winter splendor. In particular, the romantic Christmas market in the courtyard of Thurn und Taxis Castle offers a fairytale setting. The festively decorated alleyways, the scent of freshly baked cookies, and the soft strains of Christmas carols make this city seem like something out of a winter fairy tale.
This trip uniquely combines historic charm, cultural highlights, and the special atmosphere of the pre-Christmas season. Let yourself be enchanted by the tranquility of the river, the festive markets, and the snow-covered landscape—a contemplative getaway that touches the heart and the senses.
