2027 Festive Cruises

There’s something unmistakably enchanting about Europe in the festive season – cities glowing under twinkling lights, riverside squares alive with markets, and the gentle rhythm of winter sailing carrying you from one storybook moment to the next. Our 2027 festive collection brings together the very best of these seasonal journeys: the romance of the Rhine, the magic of the Danube, and the charm of Paris and the Seine – each cruise thoughtfully crafted to reveal the warmth, flavours and traditions that make this time of year so special.

And for 2027, the celebrations grow even brighter with two brand‑new solo‑exclusive festive cruises: Christmas on the Danube for solo travellers and New Year on the Danube for solo travellers. These dedicated sailings offer the delight of experiencing winter’s highlights along with the ease, company and confidence that our solo guests value most.
