Inspired by the Destination

For 90+ years, the Tauck family has had a passion for sailing — aboard small ships and yachts at sea, riverboats along great inland waterways, and at home on the rivers and lakes of Connecticut and New York. When we began blending our land experience with our strong passion for cruising in our first European river cruise back in 1992, we knew that no "ordinary" river cruise experience would do for our guests. We wanted them to travel Europe's rivers in the same beyond-the-ordinary Tauck style they experienced on our land trips. With that in mind, we searched to find a company to partner with that would share our values and our commitment to "do the right thing" by our guests... and found it in another family-owned company, Scylla. Together, we crafted a river cruise experience that was ahead of its time and inspired by the destinations we explore.

The 8 best Christmas market river cruises for 2024 and 2025

Imagine sailing down one of Europe's iconic rivers as picturesque villages, castles and landscapes pass you by, all while twinkling lights from nearby Christmas markets dance on the water. While this might sound like a fairy tale, it can be a reality on a Christmas market river cruise.

From late November through December every year, most river cruise companies with Europe-based ships take excited passengers to idyllic towns to learn about Christmas traditions, shop at local Christmas markets and try tasty seasonal treats.

These river cruises only run seasonally while the markets are open, so they tend to book up quickly with passengers ranging from older adults to all types of families looking for a winter holiday filled with festive fun.

Here, we list the eight best Christmas markets river cruises to take in 2024 and 2025, along with tips to get the most out of each sailing and highlights not to miss.

Best for short cruises: Riverside Luxury Cruises' Christmas on the Danube

If you're looking for a short sailing to tack onto the beginning or end of a trip, Riverside Luxury Cruises offers several three- and four-night Danube River itineraries into and out of Vienna, Austria. The majority of the line's four-night Dreaming of Christmas on the Danube sailings is spent in Austria, with port days in Vienna, Krems, Mauthausen and Linz before a final day in Passau, Germany.

In Vienna, you can visit one of the city's 100-plus museums or the iconic Opera House before heading to the Christmas market for a glass of mulled wine and shopping. For those interested in wine, Krems is a must-see destination known for some of the best wines in the country. Mauthausen brings a sobering stop; it was home to Austria's largest concentration camp in World War II. Linz is known for its historic old town and main square, as well as its jammy treat, the Linzer torte.

In Passau, be sure to explore the Christmas market, but don't miss St. Stephen's Cathedral. Its impressive organ is the biggest cathedral organ in the world, with almost 18,000 pipes.

Each Riverside Luxury Cruises ship is all-suite and comes with butler service. Vessels also feature an indoor pool and a Jacuzzi for use before or after trips ashore.

Riverside Luxury Cruises' Dreaming of Christmas on the Danube cruises depart in late November and December in 2024 and 2025. Fares start at $1,732 per person, based on double occupancy.

Your cruise fare includes all meals, one excursion per destination, gratuities, Wi-Fi, butler service and transfers. Alcoholic drinks are only included with the Premium All-Inclusive Package, which you can select at booking.

Best for Francophiles: CroisiEurope's Christmas in the Seine Valley

France is known for some of the most photogenic Christmas markets in Europe, and you have the chance to see some of them on a five-night Christmas in the Seine Valley river cruise with CroisiEurope Cruises. These shorter cruises are great if you'd like to spend a few days in Paris before stepping onto the cruise ship and sailing to three other beautiful towns.

The river cruise starts in Paris, where you can spend the day exploring the city, seeing the Christmas markets in Montmartre or Saint-Germain or shopping for high-end gifts along the Champs-Elysees before the 5 p.m. all-aboard time.

Day two will bring you to Rouen, where you are invited to join Christmas Eve dinner and midnight Mass. You'll also get to see more of Rouen on day four with a guided tour. If you have free time, be sure to stop in at La Couronne, the oldest operating restaurant in France and the place that inspired Julia Child to start cooking.

Spend Christmas Day in Honfleur, one of the cutest cities on the voyage. Be sure to get the town's specialty, a steaming bowl of moules frites (mussels with fries), for Christmas lunch. After three days of touring smaller towns, you'll return to Paris, where the Eiffel Tower is visible from the banks of the Seine.

CroisiEurope's Christmas in the Seine Valley cruise departs Dec. 23 in 2024 and 2025. Fares start at $1,560 per person, based on double occupancy.

Best for families: Adventures by Disney's Rhine River Christmas Markets

Families looking to explore Christmas markets through Switzerland, France, Germany and the Netherlands will enjoy Adventures by Disney's Rhine River Cruise: Christmas Markets sailing. The eight-day cruise allows kids as young as 5 to join, though Disney's suggested age is 8 or older.

What really makes Adventures by Disney stand out is the Adventure Guides, Disney-trained leaders who are experts in each destination. Each Adventure Guide travels with the group throughout the cruise, so your family really gets to know them, and they get to know you. This allows them to make personalized recommendations about activities and meals. As you walk through each town, they share the history, culture and legends of the destination.

The weeklong trip starts in Basel, Switzerland. You'll then visit Breisach, Germany, the home port from which you can choose to visit Europa Park in Rust, Germany, or head to Colmar, France, which is famous for its Christmas markets and the Cheese Museum. You'll have the next day to enjoy Strasbourg, France, via boat and tourist train rides.

Day four brings the group to Mannheim, Germany, where you can enjoy a funicular ride to Heidelberg Castle or go ice skating at Heidelberg's Christmas market.

In Rüdesheim, you can take part in a coffee and hot chocolate tasting, marvel at one of the largest mechanical music box collections in the world, enjoy a wine tasting or explore the city on your own. You'll spend the evening sailing through the Rhine Gorge, passing 30 castles along the shore.

The last day in Germany is spent in Cologne, where you can visit the beautiful Christmas markets that dot the city landscape, as well as lace up some skates to glide around an open-air ice rink. The cruise ends in Amsterdam, where you can visit the Rijksmuseum, the Rembrandt House Museum or the Van Gogh Museum, along with taking a scenic canal cruise through the city.

Adventures by Disney's Rhine River Cruise: Christmas Markets cruise departs Dec. 19, 2024. Fares start at $8,299 per adult and $7,499 per child under 11, based on double occupancy. Plan ahead for better rates. Fares for the Dec. 18, 2025, cruise start at $6,599 per adult and $5,899 per child under 11.

Fares for the once-a-year cruise include most meals, drinks at lunch and dinner (plus a nightly cocktail hour where a range of mixed drinks are complimentary), excursions in each port of call, porter service, transportation in port, Wi-Fi, gratuities for onboard staff and Adventure Guides, and onboard entertainment.

Best for couples: Viking's Danube Christmas Delights

Couples looking to get away for the holidays should consider Viking 's Danube Christmas Delights river cruise. The seven-night cruise takes passengers to four countries: Hungary, Slovakia, Austria and Germany. The trip combines opportunities to explore the ports of call with lectures and cultural performances on board the ship.

In Budapest, you'll spend two days exploring the city at places like Castle Hill and the Grand Market Hall before shopping and dining at the Christmas market in front of St. Stephen's Basilica. Then, in Bratislava, Slovakia, the group will attend an organ concert and shop at the Old Town Christmas market.

In Vienna, the whole city comes alive with lights and a festive spirit. One thing not to miss here is the extra-charge excursion to a local winery, where you will celebrate the year's harvest and vintage.

Another highlight of the cruise is Krems, where the group will visit Gottweig Abbey and get exclusive access to the chapel in the inner courtyard to see the Nativity scene. (The chapel is usually closed to visitors.) Finally, in Passau, you can watch an Advent wreath demonstration or take a flight to see the landmark Neuschwanstein Castle, which inspired Walt Disney's Sleeping Beauty Castle at Disneyland Park.

Viking offers Danube Christmas Delights river cruises from late November through mid-December in 2024 and 2025. Fares start at $2,799 per person, based on double occupancy.

Fares include shore excursions in every port; free Wi-Fi; all meals; beer, wine and soft drinks with lunch and dinner; port taxes and fees; and visits to UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In select ports, passengers can sign up for optional excursions that are an added cost. These could be worth the upcharge, depending on the type of experience you want to have.

Best for old-world charm: Uniworld's Belgian Holiday Markets

Travelers looking to explore all of the Old World historic charm of Belgium will want to book Uniworld's Belgian Holiday Markets cruise. The seven-night cruise visits Belgium and the Netherlands, with port days in iconic cities like Ghent, Bruges and Antwerp.

The cruise is a closed loop, starting and ending in Brussels. On day one, take time to explore the city on your own after dropping your luggage off at the ship. On day two, you'll need to decide whether to visit Ghent or Bruges, both of which have beautiful architecture, a Christmas market and offer opportunities to try local food.

The cruise continues to Hasselt, where you can take a guided walking tour of the city or head to the French-speaking town of Liege, which hosts the oldest Christmas market in Belgium. Day five brings you to Maastricht in the Netherlands, where you can explore the city and its Christmas market or head to Aachen, Germany, for festive fun. Alternatively, you can visit Valkenburg's underground Christmas market, located inside a cave.

The following day in Antwerp, Belgium, you can enjoy a concert, a walking tour and time to enjoy the city at your leisure. Then it's back to Brussels for a full day in the city, where you can indulge in your favorite vices with city tours that include chocolate tastings or a trip to the Belgian Beer Museum, plus a visit to the Christmas market.

Uniworld offers its Belgian Holiday Markets cruise on four departure dates from late November through mid-December 2024 (and three December dates in 2025). Fares start from $3,999 per person in 2024, based on double occupancy, and $3,689 in 2025.

Best for solo travelers: Tauck's Yuletide Spirit

Solo travelers looking to enjoy a river cruise without the hassle of a single supplement should check out Tauck's Christmas market itineraries. On all European river cruises, including the seven-night Yuletide Spirit: Amsterdam to Brussels cruise, the line waives the single supplement on Category 1 river-view cabins.

If your cruise starts in Amsterdam, you don't have to be on the ship until 4 p.m. so use the morning to walk around town or get tickets to tour the Anne Frank House. On your second day in Amsterdam, visit the Rijksmuseum and take an evening canal cruise with the group. Foodies will love it when the cruise heads to Gouda to explore the history of the city, plus get a tasting of stroopwafels, which are cookie sandwiches invented in the city.

The midpoint of the cruise will bring you to the decision to visit either Ghent, which is one of the oldest cities in Belgium, or Bruges, known for its medieval architecture and beautiful canals. The cruise also visits Antwerp, where you can explore the various Christmas markets that are spread throughout the city. Your trip ends in Brussels, with a whole day to explore the cute squares and charming markets and try local fare.

Tauck offers four December departures of its Yuletide Spirit: Amsterdam to Brussels cruise in 2024 and 2025, meaning the last cruise sets sail after Christmas. The 2024 sailings are either entirely sold out or have limited availability; fares for 2025 cruises start at $4,190 for solo travelers in a Category 1 room, but the majority of those cabins are booked. Your best bet is to wait for Tauck to announce its 2026 departures and book those popular river-view rooms as soon as they become available.

Solo travelers should know that these cabins don't have a balcony and are the smallest on the riverboat at 150 square feet, but you likely won't be spending much time in your room on this sailing. The cruise fare includes all gratuities, private shore excursions, meals, unlimited drinks including premium spirits and basic Wi-Fi, plus airport and train transfers.

Best for an extended cruise: Avalon Waterways' Festive Time on the Romantic Rhine

Travelers looking for a longer cruise that sails deep into the southern part of Europe will want to consider Avalon Waterways' Festive Time on the Romantic Rhine river cruise, which includes one night in Lucerne and three nights in Lake Como paired with a weeklong sailing. If you prefer a shorter trip, alternative Festive Time on the Romantic Rhine itineraries don't include the land-based post-cruise days.

For the longer 12-night cruise and land-based trip, your trip will begin with a three-night, precruise bus tour to Italy's Lake Como. You can take a boat ride around the lake, explore the city on your own and marvel at the Duomo. You'll then have a day in the beautiful city of Lucerne. Travel to Mount Pilates, where you will ride 7,000 feet up the mountain in a gondola for incredible views before continuing on to Basel, Switzerland, to board your river ship.

Your first stop will be in Germany to visit the Black Forest, where you can learn about local traditions and German winemaking. The next day brings the cruise to Strasbourg, France, where you can tour the La Petite France District and wander through the warm glow of the Christmas market.

Back in Germany, travelers can enjoy Mainz and see the Gutenberg Museum or travel farther on a bus to Heidelberg to explore Heidelberg Castle. Peruse the Christmas markets in Cologne and Rudensheim during the days that follow. The last stop is Amsterdam, where you can enjoy an Amsterdam canal cruise on day two or an optional excursion to Zaanse Schans for scenic views of historic windmills and Dutch houses.

Fares include meals, drinks during meals and happy hour, Wi-Fi, a library, excursions, bike rentals and a fitness center. Gratuity is not included for hotel stays and meals during the land portion of your trip.

While many river cruises traverse the waters around France, Germany and Austria, AmaWaterways ' Gems of Southeast Europe itinerary takes guests to Bulgaria, Croatia, Hungary, Serbia and Romania. The seven-night cruise sails between Budapest and Giurgiu along the Danube River.

Day three is split between Vukovar and Novi Sad, where you can explore the historic towns and enjoy the holiday cheer with live music, artisan crafts and delightful bites of food.

The final stop is Rousse, where you can venture farther into Romania to Bucharest, which is known as the "Little Paris of the East," for a city tour and Christmas market.

AmaWaterways' Gems of Southeast Europe departs on multiple dates between mid-November and late December in 2024 (2025 dates run mid-November to mid-December). Fares start at $2,723 per person, based on double occupancy, in 2024, with 2025 fares starting at $3,939.

Fares include Wi-Fi, wellness activities, daily entertainment and cultural performances, all meals, drinks at lunch and dinner, plus a daily cocktail hour, excursions in each destination and access to knowledgeable guides.
