The elegant interior design and superior furnishings add to the warm atmosphere onboard this ship. Even Santa Claus makes an appearance (Friday, Saturday and Sunday cruises only) to add to the festive ambiance on board. Experience the most beautiful stretches of the Rhine with its stunning landscape and fairytale castles, and capture the true essence of Christmas in style, and see Cologne highlights such as Kolner Dom (Cologne Cathedral) and Hohenzollernbrücke.  Your cruise concludes at your original departure point after two hours.
