Tips & Advice
- Book your preferred cabin type early, as popular options like balcony cabins and suites often sell out quickly for these sought-after holiday cruises.
- Check the specific itinerary for each cruise, as port stops and the number of days spent at Christmas markets can vary significantly between different sailings.
- Consider booking an 'All Inclusive' package if available, as it often covers meals, drinks, and sometimes even excursions, providing better value and a more relaxed experience.
- Pack layers of clothing suitable for varying European autumn/winter weather, including comfortable walking shoes for exploring markets and cities.
- Inquire about pre-booked shore excursions for Christmas markets and city tours to ensure you don't miss out on key attractions and to potentially save time.
