When you think of July, snowflakes and spiced mulled wine probably aren’t top of mind. But if you want a front-row seat to Europe’s most magical winter scenes—from twinkling lights on centuries-old streets to steaming mugs in cozy market squares—you need to start planning now.
European luxury river cruises during the holidays are one of the most unforgettable ways possible to experience the season. And perhaps the most refined, engaging, and relaxing way to do it is with Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours. Cruises during the holiday season sell out quickly—so delay may come at the expense of the winter holiday of a lifetime.
Imagine This
You’re sailing along the Danube or Rhine on a Scenic Space-Ship, where every single detail—right down to your butler service—is attended to. Fairytale villages and Gothic cathedrals twinkle outside in a layer of snow. You disembark into a centuries-old town square that’s abuzz with the sound of carolers, the scent of roasting chestnuts, and stalls laden with handmade presents and festive goodies.
You sip hot chocolate in Vienna. You sample gingerbread in Nuremberg. You toast in Budapest in the warm hum of holiday revelry. This is no mere travel—a tradition, in luxury, is what it is.
