I’m excited to invite you to join my hosted group river cruise! Step into the magic of the holiday season with Magic of Advent on the Rhine aboard the AMADEUS Aurea — a river cruise designed to immerse you in Europe’s most enchanting winter landscapes. As we sail along the breathtaking Middle Rhine, we'll pass storybook castles, vineyard-covered hills, and the legendary Loreley Rock—all dusted in the soft beauty of winter.
Our journey takes us through the festive cities of Cologne, Koblenz, Speyer, and Strasbourg, where twinkling lights, Christmas markets, and seasonal traditions create an unforgettable holiday atmosphere. With flexible excursion options, you can personalize your experience with guided tours, cultural experiences, market visits, or free time to explore at your own pace.
As part of this hosted group experience, you’ll enjoy the ease of traveling with like-minded travelers while still having the freedom to make the journey your own. Onboard, cozy up with mulled wine, indulge in seasonal cuisine, and take in panoramic views of Europe’s winter wonderland drifting by.
Over five unforgettable days, we'll discover the perfect blend of culture, comfort, and Christmas magic—from the heart of Germany to the charm of France.
