My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed Globus' Avalon Waterways Christmastime Cruise along the Danube. We sailed from Budapest, Hungary, to Nuremberg, Germany, and then spent two nights in Prague, Czech Republic. The snowy mountaintops and valleys we saw in between our ports of call were absolutely beautiful.

Our ship was very comfortable, and we appreciated our top-deck room with a French balcony, where we could open the doors to get fresh air, take photos or just enjoy the scenery. The staff was very fun loving and accommodating; when we came back on board from daily sightseeing, they always had hot drinks ready for us.

My favorite port was Melk, where we toured the beautiful Benedictine Abbey. If you want to visit as many Christmas markets as possible, book your cruise as close to December 1 as you can; some of these open-air events don't begin until late in the month of November.
