Jackie Jones from House of Travel Dunedin City shares why a river cruise along the Danube makes experiencing Europe's Christmas markets so magical:

"Waking up and opening the curtains to somewhere new each day, was like opening a Christmas present.
What a better way to celebrate Christmas wrapped up sipping Mulled wine with the twinkling lights of Budapest across the river. When I hang up my white Vienna Christmas ball on the tree this year, I will remember the feeling of being swept up in the magic of the Christmas markets on the Danube. The smells, lights and nostalgia... memories to make every Christmas so special"

Jackie's HOT tips:

Pack layers as it's hot inside and freezing outside!
Always read the tips for the following day (on the evening news slipped under your door) all things from the temperature to local foods to try and handy translations. Oh and make an effort to stay up late and watch the ship transition through the lock system, it’s fascinating!

Jeff, our House of Travel General Manager Cruise Australasia, was one of the first to step onboard Trafalgar’s inaugural river cruise sailing aboard the Trafalgar Verity 🚢 (One of the perks of working in travel!)

From charming riverside towns to slow scenic cruising through Europe, the experience gave an exciting first look at Trafalgar’s newest way to explore.

One of Jeff’s top tips? Make the most of the bikes onboard 🚲 With flat riverside paths and guided city bike tours, it’s a fun and easy way to see even more along the journey.

Would you try a river cruise through Europe?
