Christmas Markets on the Rhine: Hosted Group Cruise 2027

There’s nothing quite like Christmas in Europe — cobblestone streets glowing with lights, steaming mugs of Glühwein warming your hands, and centuries-old squares filled with music and holiday cheer. Now imagine experiencing it all while sailing the legendary Rhine River with a group of fellow travelers who share your love of festive adventure.

In December 2027, I’ll be hosting a very special Christmas Markets on the Rhine group river cruise, and you’re invited to join us.

Why Christmas Market Cruises Are So Magical

Unlike visiting just one city, a Christmas Market river cruise lets you explore multiple markets in one seamless journey. Each port has its own traditions, crafts, and flavors — and your ship becomes your cozy floating hotel, decorated for the season.

Highlights include:

Basel, Switzerland – Over 150 stalls between Barfüsserplatz and Münsterplatz.
Strasbourg, France – The “Capital of Christmas,” with markets dating back to 1570.
Rüdesheim, Germany – The Christmas Market of Nations, with traditions from around the world.
Cologne, Germany – Germany’s most iconic cathedral as the backdrop to twinkling stalls.
Amsterdam, Netherlands – End your journey with canals, lights, and festive charm.
