Avalon river cruise ship in Budapest

Clemente Travels and Avalon Waterways Present: Festive Season on the Legendary Danube.

Dan and I are thrilled to announce this European River Cruise for 2024. Read on for further details!

December 15 - December 22, 2024

This Danube River cruise at Christmastime delights with the shining sights and sounds of the holiday season. Experience the beautiful traditions of the festive season amid 14th-century architecture and towns virtually unchanged since Roman times. Walk down narrow cobblestone streets lined with beautiful patrician houses and Christkindlmarkt stalls alight with glowing atmosphere of three beautiful countries. Sail through a winter wonderland and revel in the Advent season as each town is festively decorated, offering holiday wares and delicious fare to warm the heart.

Highlights

  • Browse Nuremberg’s Christmas market—one of Europe’s oldest. Be sure to try the city’s traditional gingerbread!

  • Regensburg—the only German city not bombed during WWII. Here, you’ll taste some of Germany’s famous beers and sausages.

  • Passau- known for its narrow winding streets lined with patrician houses, and the magnificent Italian baroque St. Stephen’s Cathedral which forms a perfect backdrop for the delightful Christkindlmarkt.

  • Melk- visit Austria’s majestic Benedictine Abbey, and enjoy a traditional Austrian cookie tasting as you cruise through a winter wonderland from the Wachau Valley to romantic Vienna. Here, where Christmas markets are scattered around the city, enjoy a culinary walk through the markets to taste some of the local traditional specialties.

  • Budapest- the capital of Hungary, with guided sightseeing and free time to explore one more Christmas market and buy one-of-a-kind gifts.

A Final Note

While I only showcased a few highlights and benefits of joining this cruise, there are many, many more. One of which is that I will personally be escorting this group to ensure you have the smoothest trip possible from start to finish. Additional nights, airfare, and travel insurance can be arranged with the assistance of Clemente Travels.

I look forward to sailing with you!
