The best festive river cruises

 

As we soak up the summer sun, don't forget that Christmas always comes around sooner than you think. And where better to celebrate than in the great cities of Europe?

A river cruise takes you to the heart of each city, where Christmas markets tempt you with the scent of glühwein. In pretty villages, fairy lights twinkle and cobblestones may well have a dusting of snow.

On board your luxury ship, dine in style and raise a glass among new-found friends.

Book an upper deck cabin on select 2025 festive river cruises and receive €100 of onboard credit, per cabin†.
