November 30, 2027 for 7 nights, hosted by Jane* (Max 16 guests) on the Avalon View. Southbound journey from Frankfurt, Germany to Basel, Switzerland.
Imagine gliding along the Rhine River as snow-dusted villages twinkle past your window, the scent of mulled wine drifting through the crisp winter air. That’s not a fairy tale, that’s Avalon Waterways’ Christmastime on the Romantic Rhine.
This 8-day southbound river cruise from Frankfurt to Basel winds through Germany, France, and Switzerland, where Christmas isn’t just a holiday, it’s a way of life.
Walk Heidelberg’s sprawling Christmas markets beneath a glittering ice rink. Wander Strasbourg’s legendary 16th-century market and marvel at its stunning Gothic cathedral. Venture into the Black Forest, where cuckoo clocks, cherry cake, and curling chimney smoke make every moment feel like a storybook. All of it from the comfort of an Avalon Suite Ship, where fewer passengers means more space, more comfort, and more of the moments that matter.
Christmas only comes once a year. Make 2027 the year you celebrate it right on Avalon Waterways.
*Hosted after 16 confirmed guests. If the minimum is not met, the trip will be managed by Avalon’s cruise director and team.
