THE BEST CHRISTMAS MARKETS CRUISE IN 2011!

Come and join us on this fantastic 5 night Christmas Markets cruise on the luxurious MV Elegant Lady! This is a real ‘house party’ not to be missed and will include the renowned ‘Cruise In Christmas Party’ on the second night as we sail from Koblenz to Wiesbaden. The itinerary this year has not changed. It was so successful in 2010 we have kept everything the same, including our own Cruise In Band from the UK.

KOBLENZ

In 2010, the town was split to 3 different Market areas. This added a wonderful Christmas spirit to the main shopping streets. Pay a visit to the Koblenz Löhr-Centre. The centre piece Christmas decorations and tree are absolutely stunning! An optional coach excursion will visit Cochem on the Moselle for those that have been to Koblenz before.

WIESBADEN

‘The Twinkling Star Christmas Market’ is delightful. Set around the cathedral and market square, this could be described as the ‘locals’ own brand of Christmas. You’ll love the shopping streets around and you mustn’t leave town without having morning coffee in Maldaner!

RÜDESHEIM

The jewel in the crown! Such a beautiful place, even better with the stalls set in the lanes of Rudesheim, the Christmas lights bringing a glow of Christmas to everyone. In the evening, the chance to venture out for a drink and enjoy the entertainment of Lindenwirt hotel.

BONN

A superb array of stalls set around the cathedral and surrounding streets bring the city into fairytale life. You can even watch the ice skaters enjoying the chance of skating in the city on their own Christmas ice rink!

COLOGNE

24 hours to see any or all of the five Christmas markets that will be open! A chance to see the famous Dom Cathedral on an optional tour, shop till you drop in the pedestrianised centre and savour the wonderful Christmas atmosphere that is Cologne.

So there we are! One of the finest ships of the Rhine. The finest Christmas Markets. English entertainment onboard throughout. Come and join the party, one that we hope you’ll never forget!

OUR COACHES

This promises to be not just Cruise In's best Christmas Markets trip ever, but also the best to be offered by any cruise or travel agent in the UK! We're proud, in fact we're over the moon, to be presenting a trip that's so special it has little chance of being repeated! In cruising terms, this is a 'back-to-back', joining two perfect cruise experiences together, one after the other, and adding a wonderful night in Reims - actually a 24-hour break - between cruises. Think about it. One moment you're cruising on the Rhine for five nights, then changing countries to experience one of the finest northern cities of France and finishing with three superb nights in magical Paris, no less! You get to try two different types of river vessels, including a line new to us, CroisiEurope. CroisiEurope is one of France's major river cruise lines. They have a fleet of 27 'Prestige' category recently-built vessels, all with Veritas certification, and all maintained and renovated each year. The ships are spacious, light, welcoming and refined. They operate on the most beautiful rivers and coastal waters in Europe. Before we get to Paris, there's another treat. Every year, the vibrant city of Reims holds one of the largest Christmas markets in Europe. The locals really know how to celebrate. So they should.

Reims reputedly was the site, in the year 496, of the very first French Christmas celebration! Since then, apart from a few intervals for world wars and what not, Reims has laid on a huge Christmas party. Reims' Christmas Village market combines street entertainment, magicians, carol singers, and decorated wooden chalet stalls selling everything you can think of: presents and gifts of every kind, tree decorations, cards, wrapping papers, baubles, bangles and beads, more reindeers than you can shake a stick at, and a vast selection of wonderful, mouth-watering foods and drinks. The market is held in the tree-lined, pedestrianised streets of the city centre, complete with open-air skating rink, all lit with thousands of lights. Naturally Santa will be well in evidence with no doubt the usual fireworks, chef demonstrations and other delights. Unmissable! It will seem a shame to leave, but leave we must by 3pm. Yet we're only an hour from magical Paris, with your CroisiEurope cruise ship moored right by the Eiffel Tower! Here you will have the chance to unwind with two days in Paris at your leisure, or shop 'til you drop including yet more Christmas markets. What more could you ask for? It wouldn't surprise us if you're not coming home for a rest. Don’t delay, book today!
