Christmas markets have been popular in Southern Germany for over 700 years, providing opportunities for local craftsmen to show off their wares  in  atmospheric settings when towns and villages lie under a carpet of snow. This is a cruise is offered on MS Amadeus, one of the most modern and comfortable river cruise ships. Visits to traditional Christmas markets provide opportunities for Christmas shopping while you encounter sleepy villages and romantic towns adorned in magical Christmas decorations emitting aromas of ginger breads, hot ciders, toasted almonds  and other flavors and sounds of  romantic Old Europe.
