Christmas Markets on the Danube- Vienna Markets

Christmas Markets on the Danube 2026 with Prague | Escorted |
on Emerald Destiny

10 Nights • Sails Nov 24, 2026 • 5 Countries • Budapest to Prague

You cannot image the magic and excitement of the Christmas Markets in Europe until you have experienced them yourself. It is akin to stepping back into your childhood: stalls with wooden toys, straw ornaments; sweets and cheeses, nutcrackers, pots of boiling chestnuts, ferris wheels, sparkling lights, and more. Enjoy the brisk November air while savouring a glass of glühwein and strolling through crowds of shoppers with their toddlers, eyes as big as saucers, watching for Saint Nicholas (if so lucky) . Every market you visit will be different as each concentrates on local traditions and crafts. Whether you purchase souvenirs or presents to take with you or just absorb the atmosphere, it will be a time you will never forget.

All this and Emerald’s regular excursions  exploring each town and city are available for your enjoyment and discovery as usual. Prague, your final point, is offered as as an extended land stay on this cruise but is optional. You’ve come this far, paid your international air, why not stay a few more days?
