What to expect

Unwrap the magic of a European Christmas on an unforgettable 8-day river voyage that transforms the holiday from familiar to extraordinary. Aboard the innovative Viking Longship, you'll glide through a winter wonderland where centuries-old festive traditions sparkle to life along the Rhine's enchanting riverbanks.

Picture yourself wandering cobblestone streets dusted with snow, breathing in the enticing aroma of freshly baked pfeffernüsse and warm mulled wine. From Cologne's cathedral-framed markets to Strasbourg's twinkling illuminations, each moment offers a sensory kaleidoscope of yuletide wonder. Local artisans will invite you to discover hand-carved ornaments, their stories woven into every delicate decoration.

This festive voyage will rekindle your childlike wonder, promising memories of twinkling lights, traditional melodies, and the pure magic of Christmas that will warm your heart long after you've returned home.
