Christmas Markets – like this one in Vienna, Austria – are all about unique crafts, local food and traditions. Photo \u00a9 2012 Aaron Saunders<\/p><\/div>\n
Shortly after boarding AmaBella, I knew that the journey ahead was going to be a memorable one. Everyone on the ship seemed to adopt the Christmas mentality to “eat, drink, and be merry.” There were many late nights spent in the lounge where we danced, shared stories about our own holiday traditions back home, sang, and more.<\/p>\n

It is hard to say what stood out more – the beautiful towns and markets that we visited on this trip, or the time spent aboard with my fellow passengers. Both complemented each other so well. In fact, a large group of us made sure that we were in the same tour group for most excursions so that we didn’t have to part ways throughout the day.<\/p>\n
This was easily my favorite river cruise that I have ever taken, but enough about my Christmas cruise, let’s take a look at pricing as well as some of the Christmas Market itineraries offered in 2023 so that you can choose a sailing to give you the same wonderful experience that I had.<\/p>\n
