With its growing popularity, river cruising is a very special holiday experience. Typically accommodating fewer passengers than ocean cruises, it offers a more intimate and personalised experience.
Sailing through picturesque landscapes, you can enjoy stunning views of riverside towns, historic landmarks, and natural wonders along the way. Passengers can enjoy the ever-changing scenery right from the comfort of the ship. The cruisers are small enough to sail right into the heart of cities and towns, offering local entertainment, culture, and cuisine.
Sampling the Christmas markets is one of the more popular river cruises available. Originating in Germany, this celebration of Advent is now being replicated all over the world. The towns and cities along the Rhine have been celebrating the run-up to Christmas time with markets since medieval times.
Typically beginning in November and running to Christmas Eve, Christmas markets create a winter wonderland with festive lighting and outdoor stalls offering traditional foods, warm beverages and local handicrafts. What better way to start your Christmas shopping with something very special, explore several locations on a short river cruise, visiting historic Rudesheim, Koblenz, Bonn and Cologne.
Riviera Travel offers a five-star experience where you can enjoy fine dining (full board ) with a superior drinks package, daily escorted tours with an expert cruise director, return flights and transfers, all for €1,299 per person sharing ex Dublin.
