Yuletide Markets River Cruise for solo travellers

Day 1 – You fly to Budapest, where a coach takes you to your cruise ship.

You fly to Budapest, where a coach transfers you to your five-star cruise ship moored in this beautiful city straddling the banks of the glorious Danube. As you step on board you will be greeted by your professional, five-star crew who are on hand to help you settle in as you familiarise yourself with the layout of this splendid ship.

Day 2 – Budapest

Guided tour of the city’s main sights such as the iconic Parliament Building and the ancient Castle District. We are moored overnight so you may fancy a wander ashore to start exploring this charismatic city, so full of atmosphere at this special time of year. This afternoon we witness a cruising highlight as we navigate the Danube Bend, where the river spectacularly winds its way through a narrow twisting valley, flanked by high mountains and snow covered hillsides.

Day 3 – Bratislava

Enjoy seeing the main sights of the baroque restored city and visiting some of the churches to view their traditional Christmas cribs.  Wander the maze of streets, admiring the Christmas decorations until you reach the main square and the market with its cosy atmosphere; the sweet fragrance of cinnamon wafts on the air and hundreds of fairy lights twinkle amongst the branches of the Christmas trees. Optional excursion to Slovensky Grob.

Day 4 – Vienna

There are few places that can so delightfully evoke the spirit of Christmas than here – where the elegant imperial facades, their decorations glittering in the glow from a thousand Christmas lights, the sound of classical carols floating on the crisp air and the irresistible smell of candyfloss and roasted chestnuts is truly reminiscent of Christmas from a bygone age. Guided tour seeing the main sights such as St Stephen’s Cathedral and the former royal court, now home to a collection of museums.

Day 5 – Budapest

From the boat, watch this lovely winter wonderland scenery effortlessly gliding by, later you may wander to the Vorosmarty Square in the heart of Pest.
