Christmas Markets along the river Rhine - a 2 nights river cruise

Country forums / Western Europe / Germany

Hello Christmas Market lovers!

I just found an advertisement for a very nice way to discover the Christmas Markets along the river Rhine:

It is a 2 nights river cruise from Cologne (Köln) to Ruedesheim (Rüdesheim) and back in December for 189,- € per person incl. full board.

Because I do not want to be blamed for covered advertising, please send me a private message and I will let you know where you can book this trip.

ruhrbuerger, PM's are, unfortunately, not possible anymore. I think someone with 48 posts should not be considered as trying to push a thing like this for his own good. I suggest that you just publish where to book a trip like this. I don't plan to use it, but feel there are certainly people who might be interested.

OP do you mean this? http://www.eurorivercruises.com/Destinations/christmasmarkets.htm

OK - thank you guys.

I found this offer in the current ALDI reisen travel brochure. Have a look here: http://nord.aldi-reisen.de/html_nord/kreuzfahrten/13674.htm

I assume you can also book it from outside Germany.

Im not sure I want to be stuck on a boat for 2 days with all the other ALDI customers.

Also, Rüdesheim is sort of a tourist trap.

I'd rather go by train to the Christmas markets in Hattingen, Neviges, Soest...
There are so many to choose from.

klaush, the question can be if all the other Aldi customers would like to have you on bord.
