Christmas Markets Along the Danube: A Rail and River Cruise Adventure

This once-in-a-lifetime, fully-escorted, 14-day rail and river cruise adventure will transport you to a time when Europe’s great cities glow with festive light, and the scent of spice, pine and roasted almonds drifts through old market squares on a wonderfully atmospheric route from Bavaria to Budapest. You’ll travel by regional trains through Bavaria, historic tramways in Munich and Budapest, a mountain railway into the snowy Alpine world of the Zugspitze, and a graceful river voyage through the heart of Central Europe. Along the way, you’ll be immersed in changing scenery, Alpine views, historic riverside towns, grand history, and cities that come to life at dusk under the glow of winter light; and visit some of Europe's most famed monuments, palaces and museums.
