Check off one of your Bucket List items and come with me as I celebrate this magical time of year with a delightful Christmastime river cruise through the beautiful views of the heart of Germany, on the Main Danube Canal, and the Main and Rhine Rivers. We will board our ship in Nuremberg, Germany, host to one of the oldest Christmas markets in the country. We stop each day to learn about holiday traditions, stroll through Christmas markets, and sip on some of Germany's delicious hot chocolate. Our delightful holiday cruise ends in Basel, Switzerland.
This is where you get my take on what's fun and what needs improvement. I'll share my observations, thoughts and opinions.
