Have You Lost That Holiday Feeling?

12/10/2020

0 Comments

 
   Just like the Righteous Brothers said about losing that loving feeling I am losing that holiday feeling this year!  
  If you are like me and just cannot get that holiday feeling this year  or you just want something really festive to look forward to you might want to join me next year on a holiday markets cruise.   I chose one that goes through Austria and Germany but there are many wonderful options to choose from.  You can see them on our site - https://www.travelwithoutstress.com/festive-season-river-cruises.html 
I have always been wanting to do this cruise but have put it off because I usually end up with too many trips already planned each year.  After this year I will never think it is possible to have too much travel planned!   If 2020 taught us anything it is not to put off doing those things you have always wanted to do!

If you are not feeling the holiday spirit right now check out he highlights of this cruise and I have a feeling it might help:
This holiday river cruise takes you to many beautiful and historical cities of Germany and Austria. And the views along the way can’t be outdone—towns and villages decorated for the holidays and beautiful views as you cruise along the Danube and Main Rivers, and the Main Danube Canal. Your Christmastime river cruise begins in Vienna, the capital and treasure of Austria, and ends in Frankfurt, Germany. In Vienna, see the sights with a Local Guide, or opt for a culinary walk through the Christmas markets to taste some of the traditional fare. Cruise through the picturesque Wachau Valley to Melk, and visit the Benedictine Abbey, one of Europe’s most architecturally-breathtaking monasteries—sure to be truly magnificent during the holiday season. In Regensburg, one of Germany’s best-preserved medieval cities, see the sights with a Local Guide and savor local sausages and beer at one of Germany’s oldest restaurants, Historiche Wurstkuche (Old Sausage Kitchen). On to Nuremberg where, after your guided tour, you are free to visit the Christmas market, one of the most famous in the world. A full-day excursion to Munich shows you the Bavarian capital. The traditional Christmas market is located on the Marienplatz, with aromas of toasted almonds, roasted chestnuts, and gingerbread filling the air! Continue your Christmastime river cruise to Bamberg, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where the many nativity scenes exhibited throughout the town are sure to delight. In Würzburg, on the River Main, visit the ornate Bishop’s Residence—home to the largest ceiling fresco ever painted, then stroll through the Christmas markets while you sip Glühwein (hot mulled wine). Your last stop is at one of the charming small towns dotted along the river—sure to be even more appealing illuminated with Christmas lights and decorations.

Here are some links to check out that relate to this cruise and could also help you get that holiday feeling:
