ICONIC CHRISTMAS MARKETS OF EUROPE Dec. 14 - Nuremberg, Germany: Embarkation. Board your luxurious river cruise ship, the Avalon Envision. The ship will moor overnight in Nuremberg.

Dec. 15 - Nuremberg, Germany: Christkindlesmarkt is a Christmas market that is held annually in Nuremberg, Germany. The most famous of all Europe’s Christmas Markets is at Nuremberg. It takes place during Advent in the Hauptmarkt, the central square in Nuremberg’s old town, and in adjoining squares and streets. The tradition of Christkindlesmarket, gingerbread, and bratwurst made this Bavarian city famous. The Christmas Market is located in scenic “Old Town” with music, entertainment, food, mulled wine, and shopping everything Christmas.

Dec. 16 - Regensberg, Germany: Enjoy “Christmas Magic” in ’s Medieval Miracle city. In addition to Regensburg’s unique Christmas Market you have an opportunity to visit Altes Rathaus in Old Town and Porta Pretoria, the entrance to the Castra Regina fortress built in 179 AD. Regensberg is known for its well-preserved medieval core. The 12th-century Stone Bridge, a 1,000 foot-icon with 16 arches, crosses the river to the Old Town. The 13th-century Regensburg Cathedral, a twin-spired Gothic landmark, is home to the Regensburger Domspatzen choir.

Known as the Three Rivers City, it's overlooked by the Veste Oberhaus, a 13th-century hilltop for- tress housing a city museum and observation tower. The old town below is known for its baroque architecture, including St. Stephen's Cathedral, featuring distinctive onion-domed towers and an organ with 17,974 pipes. At Christmas time, the Old Town is festively decorated - especially the Cathedral Square, the home of the Christmas Market located in front of the St. Stephan Cathedral in the Old Town center of Passau. Holiday stalls show and sell special Christmas goods, presents, arts and crafts, and Christmas specialties like Lebkuchen, gin- gerbread, Glühwein and a lot of others are offered to the visitors. Every day of- fers different concerts of music groups and choirs. Artists and craftsmen of Passau will present and exhibit their handcraft at the Christmas Market. An optional tour to Salzburg, is available to see the setting of “The Sound of Music” and learn the story behind the beloved Christmas hymn, “Silent Night.”

Dec. 18 - Passau, Austria: Melk is an Austrian town on the River Danube, west of Vienna. It’s known for the 11th-cen- tury Melk Abbey, a vast monastery built high above the town. Gold statuary adorns its domed Abbey Church, and the huge library houses medieval manuscripts. The Marmorsaal is a baroque hall with a ceiling fresco and red marble walls. Visit the splendid Wachau Valley. Tonight, an optional tour to a Royal Waltz concert is available.

Dec. 19 - Vienna, Austria: Vienna, Austria’s capital, lies in the country’s east on the Danube River.
