A viking holiday river cruise is pure magic. From nuremburg to vienna germany and austria light up with christmas markets offering hand carved toys and ornaments spicy glühwein and aromatic gingerbread. Nothing better than wandering a new market every day with a steaming mug of gluhwein in hand. I really enjoyed joining fellow visitors and the town residents in soaking up the singing dancing and decor in the town squares and along the cobblestone streets of great destinations like nuremburg and vienna.

A festive speyer germany. November 21 2018 some of the most popular river cruise itineraries are those that make port stops at europe s christmas markets. I ended up going on viking s rhine getaway which sails down the rhine between amsterdam and basel making stops in both germany and france you can book this same cruise at any time of year but in december the focus is almost entirely on the region s christmas markets. We too are great fans of european christmas markets and like you have been on several viking river cruises to experience them.
