Who better to explore Europe’s historic Christmas markets with?

Unveiling your perfect Christmas market experience

Indulge your senses in the scents of cinnamon and roasted chestnuts, as you explore a different magical market each day. From the snow-dusted stalls in Vienna to the medieval charm of Nuremberg's Christkindlesmarkt, every market promises unique treasures and heartwarming moments. If you want to embrace a true local tradition, you can collect the one-of-a-kind Gluwhein mugs from every market you visit as a lovely souvenir!

Unravel Hidden Gems beyond the markets

While the markets steal the spotlight, our itineraries are designed to unveil hidden gems beyond the market stalls. Venture into charming villages, explore medieval castles adorned in seasonal splendour, and engage with local artisans whose craft has been passed down through generations. Every moment holds the promise of discovery, and with Uniworld, you're guaranteed a front-row seat and behind-the-scenes access throughout.

A symphony of local flavours for your palate

Christmas markets are a feast for the senses, and the onboard dining experience is no exception. Indulge in gourmet delights that mirror the essence of the markets themselves. Savour delectable dishes inspired by regional flavours, all meticulously prepared by our culinary artisans. And, of course, no Christmas market experience is complete without the warming embrace of glühwein!

There's a unique camaraderie that forms among fellow travellers during the holiday season. As you explore the markets together, share stories over candlelit dinners, and partake in festive activities, you'll forge connections that go beyond the cruise itself.
