What if the whole ship was your group? For one week in November 2027, it will be.
We've done something no big cruise line can offer: we chartered the entire AmaRudi - AmaWaterways' brand-new 2027 flagship and the widest, most spacious ship on the Danube - for a 7-night Christmas Markets voyage from Budapest to Vilshofen, November 21-28, 2027.
Here's what that week looks like: two days in Budapest with its glittering Advent markets, Bratislava's old town dressed for the holidays, Vienna's famous Rathaus Christkindlmarkt and a Vienna by Night tour, Riesling tasting in the Wachau Valley, Linz with an optional Salzburg excursion, and a festive finale in Passau and Vilshofen. We'll even celebrate US Thanksgiving together on board.
Every stateroom is a balcony room or suite (205-710 sq ft), and everything is included: all meals across four restaurants, w**e and b**r with dinner, daily guided shore excursions, port charges, and gratuities. Only airfare is extra. And on night one, a fellow guest will mysteriously "vanish" - solve the AmaRudi Christmas Markets Mystery by Vilshofen and you could win $10,000.
Fares start at $4,799 per person - roughly 30% below comparable market rates. Book and deposit by December 31, 2026 to save $500 per cabin. The $2,000 deposit is fully refundable until May 15, 2027. 73 of 98 staterooms remain.
