Christmas markets along the Danube

7 nights from £2,495 per person based on 2 sharing

Sailing from Regensburg to Budapest with Viking, this Danube River journey links a series of Central Europe’s most established cities, with a route that follows both historic trade paths and vineyard-lined valleys. Along the way, you’ll sail the scenic Wachau Valley and watch stunning landscapes unfurl, visit Krems and Vienna, and enjoy guided tours included in almost every port. Travelling in December, the itinerary also coincides with the Christmas market season, making it the perfect festive escape.
  • The route follows one of Europe’s most recognisable river corridors, connecting cities shaped by the Danube over centuries. Highlights include Vienna’s grand architecture and Budapest’s riverside landmarks, with the Wachau Valley offering a quieter stretch of scenery defined by terraced vineyards and historic villages.

  • Guided tours are included in almost every port, offering a structured way to explore each destination. Experiences may include walking tours through historic centres and visits to significant sites, giving context to the places you pass through while still allowing time to explore independently.

  • Make the most of the festive fun with the beautiful and famed Christmas Markets -  particularly in Vienna and Budapest, where seasonal stalls, local food, and traditional crafts begin to fill the main squares. It’s a more local, seasonal perspective on these well-known cities.
