Uniworld River Cruise – European Holiday Markets River Cruise 2010
European Holiday Markets River Cruise
Discover where many of our signature holiday traditions — Christmas trees, gingerbread, nutcrackers, St. Nick, and candy canes — came from as you sail through Germany and Austria on a magical cruise.
Be spellbound by the Medieval atmosphere of Nuremberg’s main Christmas Market, and sample its famous holiday gingerbread. Stroll through Regensburg’s romantic Christmas Market, savoring fresh dumplings with vanilla sauce. In Passau, shop for unique crafts like hand-painted porcelain and Bohemian glass ornaments. In Linz, “The Town of Christmas Crèches,” marvel at the small clay figurines that represent the people of a typical village — the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker. And hear a Mozart and Strauss concert while in the “City of Waltzes,” Vienna.
All this and more, in two countries of culture and elegance, will surely make for a joyous start to your holiday festivities.
