Basel to Cologne - 8 Day

Switzerland, France, and Germany provide the perfect backdrop for this true connoisseur's Christmas Markets cruise. Visit the delightful Christmas Markets of Basel, Switzerland, and Strasbourg, France.

Then continue on to Germany-where many of our signature holiday traditions began-with stops in lovely Medieval villages such as Heidelberg, Mainz, Rudesheim, and Koblenz, as well as the majestic city of Cologne, with its UNESCO-listed Gothic cathedral. As you sail the legendary Rhine, especially the 40 miles along the Upper Middle Rhine Valley (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), you'll be captivated by ancient fortresses, Medieval castles, and half-timbered villages-all set in a winter wonderland.

This cruise offers so much! The personality of each country shines even brighter at this time of year because of each area's special holiday traditions. Share the joy and magic of the season and enter into a festive mood as you enjoy the cozy holiday atmosphere onboard your exquisitely decorated boutique hotel cruise ship.
