River cruises have quickly become a favorite way to explore Europe's historic Christmas markets, allowing you to visit multiple destinations without the hassle of packing or constantly changing hotels. Riverside Luxury Cruises is redefining this experience, catering to the discerning traveler with suite accommodations, butler service for all passengers, and an exceptional culinary program.
“Our holiday itineraries on the Rhine and Danube rivers offer an elevated way to experience this time of year, rooted in regional traditions, but with Riverside’s signature luxury,” explains Jennifer Halboth, CEO of Riverside Luxury Cruises in North America.
“From personalized service and carefully selected excursions to gastronomy that reflects the flavors of each port of call, we have reinvented the Christmas market cruise for the most discerning travelers.”
Riverside Christmas Cruises:
– Flexible itineraries to suit the season. With 3- and 4-night cruises, and itineraries ranging from 7 to 16 nights. Whether it's a short holiday getaway or a longer celebration, guests can discover a lot in a short time without sacrificing comfort.
– Stress-free, all-inclusive luxury. Featuring fine dining, premium beverages, guided excursions, and wellness services. No surprise costs or extra planning required.
– A culinary experience worthy of the destination. While gingerbread and mulled wine on land are tempting, the onboard cuisine is equally unforgettable. Riverside's award-winning gastronomic program features seasonal ingredients, local inspiration, and execution worthy of the finest restaurants, all served in thoughtfully designed spaces with panoramic river views. Each ship has an onboard sommelier who ensures the perfect wine pairing for every meal.
Riverside's Christmas cruises strike a rare balance: they allow you to visit iconic markets in major capitals like Vienna or Budapest, while also discovering the charm of fairytale towns like Koblenz (Germany) or Krems (Austria). Each market reflects the spirit of its region: from bratwurst and roasted chestnuts to delicate pastries and spiced sweets, offering a flavorful and immersive journey through local culture at every port of call.
With one of the highest space-to-guest ratios on European rivers, Riverside's ships offer a relaxed atmosphere, more akin to a private villa than a conventional cruise ship. Elegant lounges, a studio- , and spacious decks allow for moments of tranquility between market visits. Each suite features a French balcony overlooking the river, a king-size bed, and a dedicated butler, ensuring personalized service tailored to each traveler's preferences.
