Christmas Market
River Cruise
on the AmaSofia
Picture this: you're wandering cobblestone streets strung with twinkling lights, a warm mug of glühwein in hand, market stalls overflowing with handmade ornaments and the smell of roasted chestnuts in the air. Now imagine doing that in five different cities — without ever packing a bag in between.
That's the magic of a Christmas Markets river cruise. Think of the ship as your floating hotel — it carries you gently overnight from market to market, so you wake up in a new town each morning, ready to explore, with your suitcase already unpacked and waiting in your cabin.
Rhine River Cruise on the AmaSofia
Amsterdam to Basel
This isn't a rushed, checklist kind of trip. It's slow mornings with coffee on balcony as the ship glides past snow-dusted villages. It's afternoons getting delightfully lost in market stalls, and evenings coming "home" to a warm cabin instead of hunting down another hotel.
Over ten days, you'll drift through Germany, France, and Switzerland, docking in the heart of towns most travelers only dream about — each one dressed in its holiday best.
The ports along the way:
Trip Highlights
Round-trip flights not included, but door-to-ship service starts the moment you land in Amsterdam
Unpack once — your floating hotel does the driving, mostly overnight, so your days are free to explore
Visit iconic Christmas markets in cities along the Rhine, each with its own regional charm and ornaments
All meals on board, plus a curated wine and beer package
Included excursions in every port, with a mix of guided and go-your-own-pace options
Small-ship intimacy — this isn't a floating city, it's a cozy, personal way to travel
Is This Trip For You?
If you've always wanted to see Europe's Christmas markets but the thought of packing and unpacking in five different hotels sounds exhausting — this is your answer.
This trip is built for women and couples who want a slower, richer kind of holiday travel.
No rushing, no logistics headaches — just wonder, one port at a time.
Cologne, Germany
Picture the towering spires of Cologne Cathedral rising above a market square packed with wooden chalets, the smell of mulled wine drifting through the crowd. This is the market most people picture when they dream of Christmas in Europe — and you'll be steps away, not a bus ride.
Strasbourg, France
Known as the "Capital of Christmas," Strasbourg has been hosting its market since 1570. Half-timbered houses glow with lights, canals reflect the twinkle overhead, and the scent of bredele cookies and spiced wine follows you down every lane.
