Treat Yourself to an Unforgettable Festive Season!
The spirit of Christmas and cherished traditions are set to illuminate the world for an extraordinary end of year! In the weeks leading up to the festivities, entire cities are transformed, draped in dazzling lights and festive cheer.
Join us during this magical time of year as we visit some of the most beautiful Christmas markets in France and Europe, with one goal in mind: to offer you an exceptional festive season experience.
Christmas Markets
The air is filled with the scent of spices, Christmas carols echo through the streets, and twinkling lights fill the night: it's Christmas market season in Alsace and across many European cities and capitals!
To help you capture the enchantment of the festive season, we've crafted a variety of itineraries centered around the best Christmas markets in France and Europe.
In France, Strasbourg, the iconic Capital of Christmas, has been enchanting visitors for over five centuries. All across Alsace, from Ribeauvillé to Colmar, you can wander through festive chalets nestled in illuminated alleys, each offering a magical setting. But in each of these towns, Christmas is celebrated in its own unique way, with distinctive traditions, customs, and specialties. In Germany, the birthplace of Christmas markets, local folklore is woven into the fabric of the festivities.
Along the Rhine, Elbe, and Neckar rivers, you'll find some of Europe's oldest and most famous Christmas markets. From Heidelberg to Berlin, allow yourself to be charmed by the timeless beauty and magic of traditions that embody the Christmas spirit.
Along the Danube, from Vienna to Budapest via Bratislava, the charm of Central European markets radiates from the heart of these majestic capitals.
Wherever your destination, embark on a magical journey aboard a river cruise that will take you to the heart of Europe's most iconic cities, well-known for their Christmas markets and festive traditions.
Christmas Cruises
Christmas is one of the most enchanting times of the year, a season of warmth, joy, and togetherness. Why not celebrate the holidays with us aboard a magical Christmas cruise?
On our Christmas cruises, our dedicated crew will ensure you enjoy an unforgettable Christmas Eve beneath a glittering tree, as shimmering reflections of festive lights on the water lead you to breathtaking views of France and Europe's most beautiful cities.
