The Most Beautiful Christmas Markets in Alsace
Experience the magic of Advent in Alsace and enjoy relaxing days on board the MS Serenade 2, festively moored in Strasbourg. From here you can discover the region's loveliest Christmas markets – from the famous Christkindelsmärik in Strasbourg to the romantic lanes of Riquewihr.
Trip details
Day 1: Switzerland - Alsace
Journey to Colmar. Arrival at approx. 10:30 am. During Advent, Colmar is transformed into an enchanting winter wonderland. The historic buildings and narrow lanes of the old town are festively decorated and glow in a warm light. In the afternoon, continue to Strasbourg, the "Capital européenne", the "Capital of Europe". Hardly any other city embodies a fascinating history and the idea of a united Europe more than this metropolis on the Rhine. After arrival and embarkation, you can convince yourself of the superb cuisine of the MS Serenade 2 at your first dinner on board your "floating hotel".
Day 2: Strasbourg
The coach takes you to the centre of Strasbourg and back again.
Use the day for a leisurely visit to the Strasbourg Christmas market – the highlight and a true historical sensation at Christmas time, as the market has been held since 1570. It is regarded as one of the most beautiful and elaborate Christmas markets in France. The streets of the old town are magically decorated and try to outdo one another in sophistication.
It feels like a city of gingerbread and lights, where the anticipation of Christmas can be felt everywhere. As you stroll through the lanes, let yourself be enchanted by the treats that the market has to offer at its various locations. In the heart of the city, on the "Place Kléber", a giant Christmas tree draws amazed "oohs" and "aahs". Return to the ship. After dinner, you can round off the day in a relaxed atmosphere in the panorama bar.
Day 3: Alsace - Switzerland
After disembarkation, journey to Obernai. Discover the charming town of Obernai with its atmospheric Christmas market, which invites you to linger around the historic market square with Alsatian specialities and lovingly decorated stalls. In the afternoon, the picturesque Riquewihr awaits you, whose winding lanes and festively decorated half-timbered houses provide a particularly romantic backdrop for one of the region's most beautiful Christmas markets. Return journey to Switzerland.
The MS Serenade 2 combines stylish elegance with the relaxed atmosphere of an exclusive river cruise, inviting you to enjoy days of indulgence. With spacious cabins and tastefully designed lounge areas, the ship provides the perfect setting for a stay full of comfort and wellbeing.
The tastefully furnished cabins offer a comfortable retreat with a stylish ambience and thoughtful amenities. The cabins feature a shower/WC, TV, safe, air conditioning, hairdryer and cosy beds, and – depending on the deck – offer windows or French balconies.
