Christmas Market River Cruises & Escorted Tours
A festive holiday is a great way to celebrate the winter season. Walking around the beautifully decorated markets with family, friends, or as a solo traveller, and trying all the delicious treats on offer is perfect for those wanting something different to your average holiday. We currently offer two Christmas Market cruises, which give the chance to see exciting cities and towns along the Rhine or the Danube, while you explore and shop for that perfect yuletide souvenir. There are also three escorted tours, with departures available in December, where you can experience the Christmas atmosphere in your free time.
Walking amongst the unique market stalls with a chimney cake and a hot chocolate really make an evening special, and bringing home unique gifts can make Christmas morning more magical. During your festive celebrations at home, you'll also be able to relive the marvellous memories by telling friends and family about your travels, and the amazing things you saw in the many towns and cities you visited.
We also have brand new departures for the 2020 New Year's period. Discover the Danube or the Rhine on a river cruises, or visit Krakow or Madeira on departures exclusive to solo travellers.

Christmas and New Year Destination Ideas
Solo travel provides a wonderful way to experience a range of different cultures – and this is especially true over Christmas and New Year. Instead of enduring cold and wet winter weather at home, give in to the lure of Christmas destinations for solo travellers such as the Bay of Naples, Krakow, Madeira, and Venice for a more diverse and memorable festive holiday.
