Christmas Markets on the Rhine on AmaSiena
Cruise, Small Ship/Yacht, Cruisetour, River cruise
Schöni Wiehnachte, Joyeux Noël, Froehliche Weihnachten and Zalig Kerstfeest-mean Merry Christmas in Swiss, French, German and Dutch, so get ready to hear these sincere greetings as you experience the deep-rooted traditions of the Christmas season in the most idyllic and historic settings. Brimming with seasonal spirit, cities and towns dazzle. Strasbourg, the oldest and largest Christmas Market in France, delights with fairytale half-timbered houses dressed in giant red-and-white hearts. Heidelberg with its romantic backdrop of a castle offers a warming glow of light along one of the longest pedestrian zones in Europe. Zurich glitters even more with a spectacular 50-foot-tall Christmas tree decorated with thousands of sparkling Swarovski crystals, and Gengenbach is the setting of the world's biggest Advent calendar. Join together with friends and loved ones, and do what the Europeans have been doing for centuries-gather at the timeless Christmas Markets, warm up with a mug of steamy vin chaud in France or glühwein in Germany, shop for one-of-a-kind handcrafted treasures and celebrate the true spirit of the season.
Sister ship to the award-winning AmaLea and AmaKristina, the elegant 156-passenger AmaSiena brought with her a sense of joy when she was christened in 2021. Vivid shades of red create an air of confidence throughout the Main Restaurant while bold floral patterns are sprinkled throughout the ship, from her spacious twin-balcony staterooms to her Main Lounge, with its floor-to-ceiling windows offering exceptional views of the castles along the Rhine River and the iconic windmills and pastures of Holland and Belgium. Her airy Sun Deck offers a walking track, pool with swim-up bar and ever-changing views of the scenery – even as you participate in a complimentary fitness class. And her Chef’s Table specialty restaurant offers a subtle elegance that allows each dish of its exquisite regionally-inspired tasting menu to shine. Discover all of these delights and more on board AmaSiena.
