🎄It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

🛳️This Christmastime river cruise is a unique and unforgettable way to celebrate the season! Board your Avalon Suite Ship® in Frankfurt, Germany🇩🇪 , then sail up the Rhine River to Basel, Switzerland 🇨🇭 , passing beautiful views and quaint villages festively lit and decorated.

🎁 This one-of-a-kind Christmas river cruise through France 🇫🇷 and Germany takes you on an excursion to Heidelberg, Germany, to visit the fascinating ruins of Heidelberg Castle 🏰 , towering magnificently over the city. At this time of year, an ice rink ⛸️ at the foot of the castle glistens with good cheer where a very special Christmas market spans more than five town squares!

Delight in the holiday cheer with Glühwein (hot mulled wine)🍷 , bratwurst, and other local specialties. You’ll also find an array of crafts, Christmas decorations, and gifts to carry the festive charm home.

🎄Strasbourg, home to one of the oldest and finest Christmas markets in Europe—dates back to the 16th century. Breathe in the aromas of mulled wine, spice cake, and biscuits as you bask in the holiday atmosphere, including a visit to Strasbourg Cathedral⛪️. Marvel at the Gothic masterpiece made of red sandstone, ancient murals, and fascinating astronomical clock .

🌳This Christmas river cruise along the Rhine River also takes you to Breisach—the the gateway to Germany’s Black Forest. Discover its unrivaled natural beauty and signature Black Forest ham , cherry cake, and the cuckoo clock 🕰️ . Storybook Christmas charm doesn’t get better than this as smoke curls from the chimneys of traditional Black Forest houses. 🏠

🇨🇭Your delightful holiday cruise ends in Basel, Switzerland with timeless Christmas traditions of European winter markets wrapped in your memories to last a lifetime!
