Imagine sailing the Rhine with a mug of mulled wine in your hand, snow-dusted castles drifting past, and a new storybook Christmas market waiting each evening. 

Join us for a festive travel presentation with Avalon Waterways and your local Expedia Cruises travel experts, and find out how you can experience it in person.

THE HIGHLIGHT: CHRISTMASTIME ON THE ROMANTIC RHINE

Our exclusive Expedia Cruises group departure is an 8-day Avalon Waterways cruise, November 23 to 30, 2027. 

You’ll visit:

  • Cologne’s Cathedral Market, set right beside the famous cathedral
  • The Rhine Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage stretch with more castles than anywhere else in the world
  • Rüdesheim’s Market of Nations, in the heart of the Rhine wine region
  • Strasbourg, the self-styled “Capital of Christmas,” with festive markets across several squares

WHY AVALON WATERWAYS

  • Small Suite Ships with a maximum of 166 guests, so it never feels crowded
  • Panorama Suites with a wall-to-wall window that opens like an open-air balcony, plus a bed that faces the view
  • Included shore excursions with local guides in every port
  • Gourmet regional meals, with beer and wine at lunch and dinner
  • Complimentary Wi-Fi, onboard entertainment and lectures

WHAT YOU’LL GET AT THE PRESENTATION

  • A look at the ship, the suites and the day-by-day itinerary
  • Time to ask questions of your group hosts, Katrina and Kirsten
  • Limited time event only offer

This is a small, popular departure, and suites tend to go quickly. 

Reserve your spot at the presentation and come ready to get into the holiday spirit.
