Fly to Nuremberg & Embark
Fly to Nuremberg and board the AmaReina. The Christkindlesmarkt is right outside.
The Christmas markets cruise is the most elegant way to experience the markets — the ship ties up in the center of each city, and the market is literally at the bottom of the gangway. You warm up aboard ship with dinner and wine, then step back into the cold and the lights whenever you like. Nuremberg to Budapest in seven nights, arriving home well before Christmas. The AmaReina is a beautiful small ship, and the Danube valley in December is fairy-tale material.
