Discover the best of Germany’s magical Advent markets and get exclusive tips on special seasonal gifts, food and wine from the two expert guests on board your four-star ship

Cruise Germany's Christmas Markets

While atmospheric festive markets are becoming increasingly popular in the UK, nowhere does them better than Germany. And if you're a fan of twinkling lights, mulled wine, cute wooden chalets, nostalgic nativity scenes and charming squares that look like winter wonderlands, then Ideal Home’s new German Christmas Markets Cruise is for you.

Our fantastic-value five-day Christmas river cruise will take you along the River Rhine to explore the markets of Bonn, Koblenz (one of Germany’s oldest cities), Cologne (which boasts seven glittering markets) and romantic Rüdesheim, where stalls from 12 countries line the famously pretty shopping street of Drosselgasse. You’ll also cruise the stunning World Heritage-listed Rhine Gorge on the four-star ship, the MS Serenity, with our travel partner, The River Cruise Line.

Plus we’ve invited The Great British Bake Off winner Jo Wheatley and TV wine expert Ewan Lacey on board to give you some exclusive Christmas masterclasses that are not to be missed! So come with us and experience the magic of Christmas in Germany this year.
