Europe becomes a completely different world during the festive season, with the aroma of gluhwein and roasted chestnuts providing a fragrant ambience and lifelong memories.
Santa Claus, Christmas trees, gift giving – these have all been a part of the seasonal tradition in Europe for centuries. In town after town you’ll have the opportunity to experience these rituals with new eyes. As a special highlight, celebrate Christmas on board your Scenic Space-Ship while cruising between Rüdesheim and Würzburg. Then, feel the anticipation for the last day of the year building up as we cruise to Vienna, where you'll ring in the New Year involved in the magic of one of Europe’s most beautiful cities.
