German Christmas Market

Hello, I'm Elizabeth Kimmel, your trusty guide to Europe’s vibrant and enchanting Christmas Markets.  I can help you explore these magical marketplaces, from the quaint corners of Germany, right down to the lively lanes of France, and the serene squares of Austria and Belgium.See the decorated wooden stalls in Germany, baked traditional Christmas Stollen in Dresden, ornate glass baubles in Krakow, and watch candles take shape in Strasbourg. Each helps to create shared grand memories shared with friends and family.

A river cruise presents the best possible way to experience these lands in a cozy, relaxed fashion. It’s not just about viewing stunning landscapes glide by, it’s about docking right into the heart of Christmas Markets and indulging in their charm.  I know that choosing the right river cruise line can elevate the entire experience.
