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 and the majestic city of Cologne with its grand cathedral. As you sail the 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.
