Rhine Christmas Markets with Bruges & Switzerland

Trip Overview

Embrace the magic of the festive season as you sail along the legendary Rhine River. Explore Strasbourg’s 400-year-old Christkindelsmärik, the oldest market in France, and admire the city’s towering Christmas tree in Place Kleber, said to be the tallest natural tree in Europe. You’ll also sail through the spectacular Rhine Gorge; visit Heidelberg, the picturesque university city on the Neckar River; and enjoy an exclusive private concert in the grand Bruchsal Palace. Throughout your journey, experience the enchantment of the magical traditions of Christmas, from the fragrant aroma of gluhwein and roasted chestnuts to bustling markets bursting with festive excitement. Two extensions show you even more of Europe at its most magical. Take a four-day tour of Belgium, visiting medieval Bruges and the vibrant capital, Brussels, and spend five days marvelling at the snow-covered Alps through Switzerland. Luxury accommodation, included transfers and a Scenic Tour Director make for seamless travel.
