If you’ve never been in Europe during the late autumn or winter holiday season, prepare for a truly memorable experience guaranteed to enchant people of all ages. AmaWaterways offers you an unforgettable holiday season experience with four very special land-and-cruise itineraries on the Danube River, the Rhine, and the legendary canals of Amsterdam.
There’s a special spark in the air during the holidays in Europe, starting when hundreds of Christmas markets spring up in city and village squares in late November. The history of these beloved street markets goes back to medieval times....today, millions of people flock to Christmas markets throughout Europe, eager to wander through stalls brimming with ornate Christmas tree decorations, old-fashioned toys and dolls, carved nutcrackers, delightful handmade crafts and other one-of-a-kind gifts. Equally tempting are the food vendors selling sizzling hot sausages, traditional Christmas cookies, candied fruit, fragrant roasted chestnuts, mulled wine and freshly baked gingerbread.
Traveling during the holidays is a romantic and magical way to celebrate the season and spend quality time with your family and friends. There may be no better time of year for a European river cruise!
