Why we love Christmas Markets river cruises with Riviera Travel: A river cruise during the holidays is a chance to experience Europe at its most magical—twinkling lights, mulled wine, and that cosy festive feeling everywhere. Along the Rhine, you can wander through Cologne’s famous market beneath its towering cathedral or browse the fairy-tale stalls of Strasbourg, the ‘Capital of Christmas’. On the Danube, you’ll find Vienna’s grand squares transformed into winter wonderlands, while Budapest’s market is packed with handmade crafts and delicious chimney cakes. It’s the perfect way to soak up the season’s charm.
Your river cruise line: Riviera Travel makes the experience even better with their modern, comfortable ships and relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Everything’s taken care of—guided tours, delicious meals, and even a glass of wine or beer with dinner—so you can enjoy the festive magic. The ships are small enough to feel personal but spacious enough to unwind, whether you’re admiring the wintery riverbanks from the lounge or wrapping up for a stroll on deck. With Riviera, Christmas shopping has never been so scenic (or stress-free!).
