CroisiEurope, Europe's largest river cruise company, offers you the opportunity to visit Christmas markets on 4 or 5 day cruises, perfect for the December long weekend.
These cruises are ideal for their comfort, excellent cuisine, and outstanding service. They offer free Wi-Fi on board, full board, Spanish-speaking staff, and even some excursions included in the very competitive price for such a comprehensive package. The cruise line suggests exploring, among other things:
Strasbourg, much more than just the seat of the European Parliament, is a beautiful, verdant city crisscrossed by numerous rivers and canals, especially in the charming historic district of Petite France. Since 1570, the oldest Christmas market in France has been held in Cathedral Square. CrosiEurope offers a 4-day cruise during the December bank holiday weekend, embarking and staying in Strasbourg, with a visit to the Christmas market in Colmar, a wine tasting, and a visit to the Christmas market in the romantic town of Fribourg, nestled in the Black Forest. The cruise also concludes in Strasbourg.
Vienna is another European capital renowned for its beauty. Bisected by the Danube, with numerous secondary canals winding through the city, it is famous for its palaces, churches, and cathedrals, as well as its music and art. The December long weekend cruise offered by CroisiEurope begins in Vienna, with an overnight stay in the city, before visiting Budapest and its Christmas market in front of the City Hall, where another overnight stay is included before continuing to Bratislava, the Slovakian capital, which, of course, in addition to its tourist attractions, always boasts a Christmas market.
Visiting Paris during the Christmas season adds an extra touch of magic to the City of Lights. CroisiEurope invites you to a Parisian getaway with the ship conveniently moored in the heart of Paris, just steps from the Eiffel Tower. During your stay, the ship will sail to explore the modern La Défense district and also offer an evening cruise that allows you to admire the city from the Seine.
Seville, brimming with magic, offers a unique opportunity to visit in December thanks to its Christmas market located around the Cathedral. The Belle de Cadix, from CroisiEurope, begins its cruise in Seville and sails to Cadiz, following the meanders of the Guadalquivir River. From there, you can admire the Clock Tower at the Cathedral or savor shrimp fritters in the Viña neighborhood with San Sebastián Castle in the background. The following day, you'll visit El Puerto de Santa María and its beautiful Osborne Winery, where you can enjoy a wine tasting before the cruise concludes the next morning in Seville.
