Riverside Luxury Cruises: Christmas Market River Cruises, Refined

Fri, 12 Jun 26 14:25:26 +0000

River cruises are one of the best ways to experience Europe’s historic Christmas markets, and Riverside Luxury Cruises makes it not only easy to explore multiple destinations without re-packing or hotel hopping – they also elevate the holidays to help you get into the spirit of the season.

SPACE STILL AVAILABLE ON SELECT 2025 AND 2026

RIVERSIDE LUXURY CRUISES

RHINE AND DANUBE CHRISTMAS MARKET RIVER CRUISES

Riverside Luxury Cruises is redefining luxury river cruising during the Christmas market season. With all-suite accommodations, butler service for all guests, and a culinary program that rivals the finest restaurants ashore, Riverside brings a new level of luxury, intimacy and personalization to the festive season on the rivers.

The river cruise line’s holiday sailings on the Rhine and Danube rivers are rooted in regional tradition, but delivered with Riverside’s signature personalized service and curated excursions to cuisine that reflects the flavors of each port along the rivers.

LET US HELP MAKE 2025 OR 2026 YOUR BEST HOLIDAY SEASON YET
WITH A RIVERSIDE LUXURY CRUISE

Flexible Itineraries That Fit the Season

With so much taking place on the home front, finding time for an extended vacation during the winter holidays can be challenging. Riverside is one of the few lines to offer 3- and 4-night sailings, making a European Christmas market experience surprisingly accessible. For travelers with more time, the line offers itineraries ranging from 7- 16 nights. Whether it’s a quick holiday escape or a longer celebration, guests can see more in less time without sacrificing comfort.

All-Inclusive, No-Stress Luxury

Riverside keeps holiday travel refreshingly effortless, with fine dining, top-shelf beverages, guided excursions, and wellness amenities all included. With no surprise costs or added planning, it’s luxury that feels intuitive—just when travelers need it most.

A Culinary Program That Rivals the Destinations

While the gingerbread and glühwein on shore are certainly worth sampling, the cuisine on board is just as memorable. Riverside’s award-winning culinary program emphasizes seasonal ingredients, local inspiration, and restaurant-quality execution—served in beautifully designed spaces with panoramic river views. A sommelier on board every ship ensures guests will always find the perfect wine pairing.

Iconic Markets, Intimate Moments

Riverside’s holiday cruises strike a rare balance: guests visit iconic markets in grand capitals like Vienna and Budapest while also discovering the storybook beauty of lesser-known towns like Koblenz, Germany and Krems, Austria. Each market brings its own regional flair—from bratwurst and roasted chestnuts to delicate pastries and spiced sweets—offering a delicious and immersive taste of local culture at every stop.

Spacious, Serene, and Designed for Fewer Guests

With one of the highest space-to-guest ratios on Europe’s rivers, Riverside ships offer a relaxed atmosphere more akin to a private villa than a cruise ship. Elegant lounges, a chic atelier space, and expansive top decks allow for quiet moments between bustling market visits. Each suite features a river-view French balcony, king-sized bed, and dedicated butler, delivering personalized service shaped to every guest’s preference.

More About Riverside Luxury Cruises

Riverside Luxury Cruises is Europe’s newest and most luxurious river cruise line, offering distinctive vacations on the Rhine, Rhône, Danube, Moselle, and Main rivers. The all-suites Riverside Mozart, Riverside Ravel, and Riverside Debussy offer the largest average suite size, all with king-size beds, the highest staff-to-guest ratio, and up to five onboard restaurants.

Guests can choose active tours from a menu of Riverside Choice excursions; take out a pedal- or e-bike, stored on board, for self-guided exploration; and bask in a rejuvenating treatment in the onboard FEHI Spa. On all itineraries, the ships stay late or overnight in some of Europe’s most captivating towns and cities, so guests can immerse themselves in authentic cultures and the destination’s social life. Throughout, every member of Riverside’s exceptional staff and crew delivers intuitive and personalized service for an all-inclusive and luxurious experience.

On board, guests enjoy butler service in every suite; gourmet cuisine made with high-quality, fresh ingredients a la minute; included premium wines and spirits; complimentary StarLink broadband Wi-Fi; unlimited shore excursions to immerse in Europe’s history, cultures and landmarks; prepaid gratuities; and complimentary ground transfers.

Spain’s Most Luxurious Train’s New Madrid-Seville Weeklong Journey

Fri, 12 Jun 26 14:25:26 +0000

Spain’s historic Al Andalus train, described as one of the most glamorous in the world, is celebrating its 40th anniversary. To celebrate, it’s debuting a new, 7-day itinerary between Seville and Madrid beginning in spring 2026. It’s the first time the Art Deco-inspired rail journey, evoking the golden age of train travel, will journey from Spain’s capital city. Operated by Renfe, Spain’s national rail carrier, the journey includes onboard accommodation, excursions, UNESCO sites, cultural visits, haute cuisine, and a wide range of exclusive services.

It's another example of a renaissance of, not just train travel, but luxury and overnight travel by train in Europe.

The seven-day route includes stops in Córdoba, Cádiz, Jerez, Mérida, Alcázar de San Juan, Toledo, and Aranjuez.

An Itinerary Through History and Culture

The rail adventure operates in both directions, beginning in Madrid or Seville with the other city as the terminus of your journey.

In Seville, Moorish and Renaissance treasures set the tone for a week steeped in culture. From there, the Al Andalus glides to Córdoba, home to the dazzling Mosque-Cathedral, then on to Cádiz, the oldest city in the Western world.

Guests will sip sherry in Jerez, explore Roman ruins in Mérida, taste artisanal cheeses in La Mancha, and wander the windmill-dotted landscapes said to have inspired Don Quixote. By the time the journey reaches Toledo and the royal gardens of Aranjuez, travelers will have collected a lifetime of stories—and one glamorous gala dinner caps it all off before arrival in Madrid.

Travel via the Al Andalus

Once back on the train, the journey is no less magical. The 1930s carriages—originally designed for the British royal family—envelope guests in velvet, silk, and polished wood. Evenings bring live music, dancing in the ballroom, and cocktails in the lounge, while regional Spanish cuisine shines at every meal.

At night, rest in elegant cabins with ensuite bathrooms and panoramic windows in Grand Class rooms with twin beds or Deluxe Suites with queen beds, lounge areas, and a touch of royal indulgence. And because the train never travels overnight, you’ll sleep soundly and enjoy every view in daylight.

Visit a range of cultural and historic landmarks, including UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Roman ruins dating back to 25 BC, and towns tied to Spain’s Moorish and Renaissance past.

Highlights of the journey include Córdoba’s Mosque-Cathedral, Cádiz—considered the oldest city in the Western world—Jerez’s equestrian ballet and winery tours, and Mérida’s Roman amphitheater. In La Mancha, travelers will see the windmills of Campo de Criptana, said to have inspired Cervantes’ Don Quixote. The penultimate stop in Toledo offers access to the city’s Gothic cathedral, a 10th-century mosque, and synagogues, before concluding at the Royal Palace of Aranjuez.

Onboard Experience

The Al Andalus train dates to the 1930s and was originally modeled after the British royal family’s carriages. Its interiors feature wood paneling, velvet and silk furnishings, and a ballroom car. The train does not travel overnight, allowing passengers to explore destinations after hours and ensuring that all travel is by daylight.

Accommodation ranges from Grand Class rooms, with twin beds and ensuite bathrooms, to Deluxe Suites with larger layouts and queen beds. Onboard service includes meals showcasing regional Spanish cuisine and live evening entertainment.

MORE ABOUT AL ANDALUS TRAIN - 40 Years of History

The Al Ándalus train is part of the national Spanish train carrier Renfe’s portfolio of Luxury Tourist Trains. With four decades of history, it offers a journey through time aboard historic, fully restored carriages once used for major trips in the early 20th century.

Quickie Cruises and Themed Voyages on Windstar

Fri, 12 Jun 26 14:25:26 +0000

Small- and sailing-ship cruise line Windstar is changing up how you cruise, with “Quick Getaways” in Europe and a collection of themed cruises in Europe and the Caribbean, with departures from fall, 2025, through 2027.

“Quick Getaways”

Breaking from its own tradition of longer cruises, Windstar is introducing a series of new mini-cruise itineraries. With departures in 2026 and 2027, they are designed to give you a taste of its style of cruising in Europe over 3-5 nights

These short but sweet cruises let you enjoy a mix of iconic cities and tucked-away ports that rarely fit into one itinerary and take you places most cruises can’t, all with the same relaxed, friendly atmosphere you'll find on every Windstar voyage.

Why Take a Quick Getaway Cruise:

Overnight flight from the East Coast, board the same day in Europe
Add a mini vacation to your work trip or tag it onto a longer land adventure
Compact itineraries that mix iconic cities with postcard-worthy hidden gems – think sailing under London’s Tower Bridge!
The perfect taste-test of Windstar’s relaxed, yacht-style cruising
Pair with a longer voyage for the ultimate European sampler

Quick Getaway Itineraries:

St. Malo Getaway (4 nights) – Sail through London’s Tower Bridge, then dive into the windswept beauty of France’s northern coast, Mont St. Michel, and beyond.
A Taste of Southern France (3 nights) – Kayak near Sète, wander Collioure, and ride to the storybook citadel of Carcassonne.
La Dolce Vita in Italy & France (3 nights) – Sail past seaside villages, roam Corsican markets, and raise a glass in Tuscany.
Belgium: A Sweet Getaway (3 nights) – Discover Bruges’ canals, snack on Belgian chocolates, and admire fairytale architecture.

New Themed Voyages Collection

Another new collection of cruises from Windstar – with sailings beginning in fall 2025 and continuing into 2026 - is designed to make your passions come alive at sea. Whether it’s swapping brushstrokes with celebrated artists, taking the helm on a tall ship, or flowing with daily yoga on deck, these intimate, yacht-style journeys bring immersive fun from bow to stern.

Sip, Sketch, and Sail

Bring home a memory painted at sea on Windstar’s Masterpieces at Sea voyages. Elevate travel into a living canvas of creativity, with artists sharing presentations about the inspirations behind each piece.

On select sailings, an acclaimed Fountainhead artist will be on board creating a mural or large installation in real time, transforming the ship into a floating gallery, such as Samara Ash on the November 14th, 2025 Masterpieces at Sea: Brushes and Tapas voyage. A second artist also joins each voyage as an instructor, transforming The Screening Room into a hands-on art studio with intimate painting workshops, lively Paint & Sip classes, and more. Adding depth to the experience, an onboard Art Historian will deliver a series of enrichment talks, tying the destinations’ artistic heritage to the creativity happening at sea.

Beyond the ship, Windstar enhances the journey with curated art-focused excursions—think Gaudí’s playful architecture in Barcelona or Picasso’s legacy in Málaga— led by the guest artists on board. See all Masterpieces at Sea sailings below:

Brushes & Tapas, November 14, 2025
Europe Winter Riviera, February 20, 2026
Mediterranean Island Mosaic, August 13, 2026
Gems of the Leeward Islands October 28, 2026

An Ocean Crossing That’s Anything but Ordinary

Windstar’s Knot Your Average Crossing voyages celebrate the romance and tradition of life under sail. On these one-of-a-kind crossings – setting sail beginning November 2025 – guests can step up to the flying bridge and take the helm, learning age-old seamanship skills from the crew. Days at sea are filled with engaging enrichment programs: bridge and deck officers lead hands-on workshops in knot tying, chart reading, and star mapping, while distinguished guest speakers bring maritime history to life.

On the upcoming sailing, Knot Your Average Crossing (Lisbon to St. Maarten), historian and journalist Joseph Novitski will deliver a lecture series on piracy, naval order, and the origins of the U.S. Navy.

More 2026 sailings will continue this tradition, with enrichment speakers still to be announced, offering fresh perspectives on maritime heritage. Whether you’re steering the ship, tracing ancient constellations, or raising a toast to pirate lore, these crossings promise a seafaring adventure unlike any other.

Sun Salutations and Sea Breezes

Windstar’s Mind, Body, Spirit Collection itineraries take wellness beyond the spa, blending serene days at sea with transformative experiences designed for guests to nurture their whole selves.

Renowned yoga teacher and life coach Debbie Dixon leads daily sessions of yoga, meditation, and breathwork on open decks where the horizon becomes a peaceful focal point. Guests can sip their way to vitality at the pop-up Elixir Bar, offering fresh, nutrient-rich juices, and go deeper with guidance from an additional onboard wellness coach for personalized, one-on-one attention. It’s the perfect balance of small-yacht intimacy, expert-led rejuvenation, and Windstar’s knack for pairing mindful moments with unforgettable destinations.

About Windstar Cruises:

On a fleet of eight all-suite and sailing yachts serving up to 350 guests, Windstar Cruises’ guests can explore enchanting destinations across Europe, the Caribbean, Costa Rica, the Panama Canal, Alaska, New England, Canada, Japan, Asia and the South Pacific.
