Why not celebrate Christmas quite differently, on board a first-class ship gliding along the wintry Danube. Vienna is the starting point for this Christmas cruise - you embark here and let the brilliant illuminations of the big city get you into the right mood to have an equally sparkling, but also idyllic Christmas.
You then spend Christmas Eve in the picturesque Wachau district. After a traditional Christmas dinner on board you then have a unique opportunity to attend vespers in the beautiful collegiate church of Dürnstein. On the afternoon of Christmas day itself the Amadeus ties up for a while at the enchanting border city of Passau, and on Boxing Day you have a chance to stroll through the picture-postcard Danube city of Regensburg. This Christmas cruise ends up in Nuremberg, the Christmas city par excellence. For whenever Nuremberg is mentioned you invariably think of its world renowned Christmas market and its no less legendary Christmas gingerbreads.
