uniworld river cruise - rhine and main holiday markets

Rhine and Main Holiday Markets River Cruise

Enjoy this leisurely paced cruise along the majestic Rhine and meandering Main rivers during the most magical time of year, and discover the origins of centuries-old traditions at illuminated Christmas Markets. Relish the charm of Bamberg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its Nativity Walk, and seek treasures at Rothenburg’s Medieval-themed Christmas Market.

Admire Nuremberg’s Christmas Angel who presides over Christmas Market activities in her white and golden dress, and delight in the unusual collection of musical instruments at Siegfried’s Mechanical Music Museum in Rüdesheim. Visit Germany’s most pristine example of Baroque architecture – the stunning 18th-century Würzburg Residenz, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stroll through the bustling stalls of cosmopolitan Frankfurt’s grand marketplace, and while in Cologne enjoy several Christmas Markets, including the memorable market front and center outside the awe-inspiring Cologne Cathedral.

Delight in a unique and joyous holiday celebration in the countries where many of our Christmas traditions began.
