Holiday magic on the
Your Rhine River holiday cruise aboard ms Swiss Sapphire So many of our river cruise guests tell us that it’s often the little extras they enjoy aboard their Tauck riverboat that make every day of their cruise that much more memorable... and that’s before they even step ashore for their first excursion! Your cruise to the Christmas Markets along the Rhine River aboard ms Swiss Sapphire will be no exception. You’ll enjoy complimentary soft drinks, beer and wine with lunch and dinner aboard ship, and snack baskets available
Tour the Kurhaus – Baden-Baden’s Belle Èpoque casino complex, next to the Black Forest spa town’s Christmas Market
from 10:00 AM to midnight... special on-board holiday touches like a tree-trimming party, caroling and other festive gatherings... visits from local artisans who demonstrate traditional skills aboard the riverboat... a traditional European Christmas dinner with all the fixings... special evenings of holiday-themed entertainment, and much more!
Learn holiday cookie- making secrets during a demonstration in Rüdesheim – and try the town’s famed coffee
Special experiences ashore add to the magic... We’ve planned a weeklong celebration of time-honored yuletide traditions along the Rhine that’s second to none... and your guided city tours and visits to the region’s Christmas Markets are only the beginning! We include markets in cities like Aachen and Colmar that you won’t visit on cruises from other companies. What’s more, you’ll enjoy special experiences sure to make your holiday journey along the Rhine even more magical – in Heidelberg, a visit to Heidelberger Schlöss, one of Germany’s most famous medieval castles, and a special Christmas lunch at the Hotel Zum Ritter St. Georg... walking in the footsteps of celebrities at the famed Kurhaus casino in the spa town of Baden-Baden... attending a lecture on Alsatian storytelling traditions in Strasbourg... a cookie-making demonstration and a visit to the fanciful Siegfried’s Mechanisches Musikkabinett in Rüdesheim...
Your Tauck team makes your holiday cruise extra special!
See and hear fanciful music machines spring to life in a 16th- century castle at Siegfried’s Mechanisches Musikkabinett
Mix, mingle and be merry! Our riverboats allow you to easily visit many beautiful towns and meet new friends at a great time of year; it’s the best way to enjoy the magic of the Christmas Markets. We can’t wait to welcome you aboard!
