Amsterdam, Netherlands

Amsterdam is a wonderful destination all year-round, but during the Christmas period, the entire city sparkles with fairy lights and Christmas cheer. Snow blankets the narrow-cobbled streets, and the Dutch indulge in oliebollen and appelbeignets, deep fried sweets that can be purchased from stalls that look like the traditional alpine huts in one of Amsterdam's many Christmas markets. Today, you'll have the opportunity to take to Amsterdam's UNESCO World Heritage-listed canal system during a glass-top canal boat cruise, passing areas that are covered in white powdered snow and watching people relax with drinking warm cups of traditional hot chocolademelk. ...

Cologne, Germany

The wafting aroma of freshly roasted chestnuts and mulled wine welcomes you in Cologne, where the largest Christmas tree in the Rhineland can be found during the holiday season. Today, enjoy a walking tour of Cologne and visit the colorful Christmas market that sits underneath the shadows of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Cologne Cathedral, a Gothic masterpiece that effortlessly creates a striking backdrop to the nativity-like scene below. More than a hundred half-timbered stalls are swathed in light, streaming down from the twinkling canopy of bulbs that criss-crosses above. In Cologne's many Christmas markets, you'll find glittering ornaments, artisans creating handcrafted goods, and freshly baked produce, including lebkuchen, a beloved round or heart-shaped type of gingerbread that usually includes honey, cardamom, or candied fruit. Enjoy drinking mulled wine from a festive mug as you soak in the views of what is arguably one of the best Christmas markets in Europe. ...

Rudesheim, Germany

Today, take a step into the UNESCO World Heritage-listed historical landscape of the Rhine Gorge, where the beams of Rudesheim's half-timbered houses are covered in fairy lights. Rudesheim hosts the 'Christmas Market of Nations', where more than a hundred stalls effortlessly represent more than a dozen nations, each showcasing their own Christmas specialities, customs, and celebrations. While in Rudesheim, enjoy an excursion to Siegfried's Mechanical Music Museum, and perhaps indulge in some Rudesheim coffee, a famous drink made with locally distilled Asbach Uralt brandy, served with whipped cream, and sprinkled with vanilla sugar and chocolate flakes. This festive drink is certain to warm you on a frosty winter's day. Later, return to the plush surrounds of your Star-Ship for a special onboard performance. ...

Miltenberg is home to one of the oldest pubs in Germany, and its delightful boutique market features stalls full of local arts, crafts, and delightful treats.

A traditional mug of Gluhwein, a hot red wine infused with spices, is the best way to fight off the chill of a cold day. The Wurzburg Residence is a true icon, built by the prince bishops centuries ago, and the opulence that it displays is truly breathtaking.
