Imagine sailing through winter wonderlands, visiting storybook European villages adorned with thousands of twinkling lights, and shopping for unique handcrafted gifts—all without the hassles of packing and unpacking at each destination you visit. This vision can become a reality when you embark on a Uniworld Holiday Grand River Cruise.
A tradition since the Middle Ages, Europe’s Christmas Markets will definitely get you in the holiday spirit. And one of the most pleasant and cost-effective ways to experience these festive holiday celebrations is onboard a modern Uniworld ship. Airfare, all transfers, deluxe outside staterooms, all meals and entertainment onboard—plus exclusive shore excursions—are included in the price of your cruise. Choose from the following four itineraries visiting the celebrated Christmas Markets in Austria, France, Germany, Hungary, Slovakia, and Switzerland. The 9-day Rhine Holiday Markets cruise, which begins in Basel and ends in Cologne, enables you to celebrate the holidays in Switzerland, France, and Germany. You’ll cruise through Strasbourg, viewing Petite France, which is especially picturesque during the holidays. Then it’s on to the Heidelberg Christmas Market that spans over five town squares. Next, you’ll go to Mainz and Rudsheim, followed by a visit to Koblenz, known for its Christmas Market featuring spicy mulled wine and sweet Christmas cakes. The cruise ends in Cologne, where you’ll stroll the narrow streets of Old Town, passing by tiny squares and little churches on your way to the Cologne Cathedral’s Christmas Market. Four countries await your arrival on Uniworld’s 9-day Budapest to Passau cruise, which takes you to Bratislava, Vienna, Linz, Salzburg, and Passau. Yet another option is the 11-day Cologne to Nuremberg cruise, which features Cologne, Rudesheim, Mainz, Wertheim, Wurzburg, Bamberg, and Nuremberg, or a 9-day Nuremberg to Vienna voyage. Regardless of the itinerary you choose, you’ll enjoy the comfortable ambience onboard and the special holiday menus featuring local ingredients. In your stateroom, you’ll find high thread count linens, warm comforters, and a plush terry robe—along with large picture windows that enable you to take in the ever-changing scenery.
