Experience the deep-rooted traditions and heartwarming cuisine of Europe at the most wonderful time of year. Join friends and loved ones on a Christmas Markets river cruise and do what the Europeans have been doing for centuries – gather under the twinkling lights at the Christmas Markets, wrap your hands around a mug of glühwein (hot mulled wine) or cocoa, take in the aromas of cinnamon dusted almonds and gingerbread and sample local delicacies while shopping for one-of-a-kind handicrafts. Then, return each evening to the warmth of AmaWaterway's elegantly decorated river cruise ship where you will participate in joyous holiday traditions with your AmaWaterways family.
