Advent Cruise to Prague

An Enchanting European River Journey

Embark on a magical 8-day Advent river cruise that weaves through the storied landscapes of Germany and the Czech Republic, starting from the vibrant metropolis of Berlin and culminating in the timeless beauty of Prague.

Your voyage begins in Berlin, a city rich in history and culture, offering a blend of modernity and historic landmarks.

Cruise next to Magdeburg, where medieval architecture and Christmas markets create a festive atmosphere.
As you sail to Wittenberg, step into the world of Martin Luther and experience the town’s unique heritage.

The journey then takes you to Meissen, renowned for its porcelain, and Dresden, a city that rises in baroque splendor, offering enchanting Christmas markets and breathtaking sights. Spend a day exploring Dresden's cultural treasures before heading to Bad Schandau, a gateway to the natural wonders of Saxon Switzerland.

Sail onwards to the picturesque town of Litoměřice in the Czech Republic, where cobbled streets and historic charm await. The cruise continues to Melnik, known for its wine culture, before reaching the final destination: Prague. This city of a hundred spires boasts an incredible array of Gothic and baroque architecture, and its Christmas markets are a dazzling display of festive spirit.
