    Budapest, Hungary
    • Budapest, Hungary
    Located on opposite sides of the Danube, Buda and Pest each have their own distinctive character and allure. You'll get a taste of this dynamic capital city with your choice of tours, and visit Budapest's celebrated Christmas market-one of the largest in Europe. Christmas has been celebrated in Budapest for a thousand years, since the time of St. Stephen, the king who founded the nation of Hungary and encouraged the spread of Christianity throughout his realm, but the city began as a Roman encampment almost a millennium before that. Over the centuries it was controlled by Germans, Austrians, Ottomans, and Communists, all of whom have left traces. ...

    Cruising Danube Canal, Austria
    • Cruising Danube Canal, Austria
    • Bratislava, Slovakia
    Once hidden from the world behind the "Iron Curtain", Slovakia retains an air of mystery and intrigue, and its small capital city has an unexpectedly colorful history. You'll learn more about Bratislava's past from a local expert and also visit the local Christmas market-a relatively new (and thoroughly delightful) tradition for Slovakians. How do you say "Merry Christmas" in Slovak? "Vesele Vianoce!" The heart and soul of Slovakia, Bratislava is full of surprises. The city straddles the mighty Danube and has played a leading role in the politics and culture of the region for many centuries. Unlike cities with venerable Christmas markets, Bratislava just established its first holiday market in 1993. But the Slovakians have quickly embraced the seasonal traditions of their Austrian and Hungarian neighbors-and you'll get to embrace them as well. ...

    Krems, Austria
    • Krems, Austria
    • Melk, Austria
    One of the most beautiful abbeys in Austria is still an active Benedictine monastery, but a monastery the likes of which you've never seen-Napoleon himself once laid his head here in the lavish imperial quarters. With its 14th-century stained-glass windows, the abbey's jewel box of a church is the perfect setting for a soul-stirring concert of organ music. Both the millennium-old town and the valley itself have been designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. ...

    Your ship docks at Linz, a modern yet historic city that extends across the shimmering waters of the Danube. From there, you'll head to Mozart's birthplace of Salzburg, which is nestled in a glorious alpine setting that sparkles like a winter wonderland this time of year. Fans of "The Sound of Music" may recognize locations from the Oscar-winning film in the city's Old Town, the site of the grand cathedral and absolutely enchanting Christmas market. ...

    Passau, Germany
    • Passau, Germany
    Passau is a crossroads in more ways than one-three rivers meet here and three nations nearly do, making for a fascinating cultural mosaic. Get to know the town with a guided stroll, then visit the local Christmas market on the square in front of the cathedral. You'll find a lot to enjoy here-from miniature houses and blown-glass ornaments to spun-sugar confections-in more than 70 stalls. ...
