🚢✨ So excited to be cruising on the beautiful A-Rosa River Cruise!

This week, I’m visiting some amazing ports: Rüdesheim, Frankfurt, and Koblenz.

Each stop is full of charm, history, and festive vibes, especially with the Christmas markets in full swing.

Here are the highlights:

🌟 Rüdesheim
This charming wine town is a delight! A must-visit is the Drosselgasse, a quaint cobblestone street lined with shops, wine taverns, and live music. Don’t miss the Siegfried’s Mechanical Music Cabinet, a unique museum showcasing intricate music boxes. The Rüdesheim Christmas Market of Nations is magical, with over 100 stalls representing traditions from around the world. Make sure to try the famous Rüdesheimer Coffee, made with local Asbach brandy!

🌟 Frankfurt
A mix of modern skyline and old-world charm, Frankfurt is buzzing with activity. Stroll through the Römerberg, the heart of the old town, with its stunning timber-framed houses. The Frankfurt Christmas Market is one of Germany’s oldest and largest, filled with lights, crafts, and delicious food. Grab a mug of hot mulled wine and enjoy traditional treats like Bethmännchen marzipan cookies!

🌟 Koblenz
Nestled at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle Rivers, Koblenz is a picturesque town with a rich history. Visit the Deutsches Eck (German Corner) for amazing views of the rivers and the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress for a glimpse into history. The Koblenz Christmas Market is spread across several squares, offering handcrafted gifts, festive decorations, and local delicacies. Don’t miss the live music and the enchanting atmosphere!

Feeling so lucky to soak up the holiday spirit in these gorgeous towns. 🎄🎁 Stay tuned for photos and updates!

Whether you’re strolling through Stanley Park or dining at one of the city’s Michelin-starred restaurants, you'll find elegance at every turn. Don’t miss the opportunity to take a luxury yacht cruise through the scenic harbour, or perhaps book a private tour to the nearby vineyards of British Columbia’s wine country.

# # # # **Set Sail on an Alaskan Cruise: An Elegant Voyage to Untouched Wilderness**

Conclude your Canadian adventure with an Alaskan cruise—an unforgettable way to see the untamed beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Whether you're embarking from Vancouver or another port, an Alaskan cruise offers the perfect combination of adventure and luxury. With elegant staterooms, world-class dining, and an abundance of on-board activities, the cruise promises relaxation and excitement in equal measure.
