    • Cologne, Germany
    Cross the German border and arrive in the vibrant city of Dusseldorf this morning. With its innovative architecture, high-end art scene, and passion for fashion, it's one of the country's most intoxicating cities. It also has a proud tradition of elaborate Christmas decorations, festive celebrations, and various themed Christmas markets. Later, cruise to the 2,000-year-old city of Cologne, where the largest Christmas tree in the Rhineland can be found during the holiday season. The city is home to many Christmas markets, and the most spectacular one sits in front of the twin spires of the Neo-Gothic Cologne Cathedral. Look for stalls selling traditional lebkuchen, a beloved round or heart-shaped type of gingerbread that usually includes honey, cardamom, or candied fruit. ...

    Koblenz, Germany
    • Koblenz, Germany
    • Rhine Gorge, Germany
    Today, arrive in the heart of Koblenz, an ancient city that seems pulled from the pages of a German fairytale. Once a Roman stronghold, Koblenz was established around 8 BC for its strategic value. It's now a modern park- and flower-filled city with a unique blend of historic and contemporary architecture. Later, cruise through the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Rhine Gorge, exemplifying the extraordinary beauty of an area that left the philosophers and artists of the German Romanticism movement entranced. Look out for the iconic Lorelei Rock, where a beautiful siren is said to have lured sailors to their death with her song. Feel inspired by an insightful EmeraldPLUS lecture, where you'll learn more about Christmas traditions in Europe. ...
