Imagine cobblestone streets lined with twinkling lights, steaming mugs of glühwein, and the scent of roasted chestnuts in the air — this is the magic of a Rhine River Christmas Market cruise.

In this episode of Europe Unveiled, I’m sharing what makes these holiday sailings so special and why the Rhine is one of the best rivers to experience them.

We’ll cover:

• The must-see markets along the Rhine, from Cologne’s cathedral market to Strasbourg’s Christkindelsmärik
• What to expect on a Christmas Market river cruise — food, shopping, and festive traditions
• Insider tips for making the most of your time ashore (and what to pack for chilly evenings)
• Details on our exclusive 2027 hosted Rhine Christmas Market group cruise, including a $1,000 per person discount available through September 30, 2025
