Mulled wine. Snow on your shoulders. The Danube doing its thing.
Next December, trade crowded airports and holiday chaos for glühwein, twinkling market stalls, and seven unforgettable days on the Danube.
Make Your Holiday plans for NEXT YEAR NOW.
I'm taking a group to Europe's Christmas markets. By river. Next Year: December 1–7, 2027. Nuremberg to Vienna. Seven days, one ship, zero compromises.
Picture yourself with a group of fabulous folks in Early December on the Danube. Wooden market stalls, hot mug of glühwein in your hands, snow landing on your shoulders, the whole scene looking like somebody color-graded it for a movie. That's the trip.
This is my first winter market cruise, and I refuse to do it small.
We're sailing the Avalon Impression — 443 feet of luxury, panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows in 80% of the cabins, a crew of 47 taking care of 0 of your problems. Open-seating four-course dinners with regional menus. Wine and beer poured free at every lunch and dinner. Happy Hour every single night.
You unpack once. You wake up somewhere new every morning. The river handles the commute while you sleep.
Five cities. Seven days. Nuremberg, Regensburg, Passau, Melk Abbey, Vienna. Every one of them lit up with Christmas markets in full swing. Every one prettier than the last.
Our ship offers a range of room categories to match different travel styles and budgets.
For those who want to wake up to uninterrupted river views, our Panorama Suites feature floor-to-ceiling glass walls that transform your room into a front-row seat to Europe drifting by.
Prefer a more cozy experience or looking for a lower price point? Our comfortable staterooms offer all the same thoughtful service and access to the ship’s amenities, with options designed for guests who don’t need sweeping views outside their window to enjoy an unforgettable journey.
Pricing:
- Deluxe Stateroom — $4,065/person
- Panorama Suite — $5,865/person (most popular)
- (Need a roommate? Let us know!)
Every price covers all meals, all excursions, onboard gratuities, Starlink Wi-Fi, port charges, taxes. Nothing buried in the fine print.
I'm Ready To Put Down My Deposit!
To hold your spot? $500. That's it.
And that $500 isn't a fee — it goes straight toward your balance. Once you're in, I connect you personally with our Globus sales manager and your payments run through them. Clean, simple, no surprises.
A year and a half out means you've got room to breathe. But the spots are real-world limited, and those two Royal Suites won't last.
Quick word on who's coming. We're not buying out the ship — we're bringing a curated group of GoNaked travelers into a larger sailing, so we'll share the Impression with other guests.
And here's the new thing: this is the first-ever co-branded Dorothy Travel voyage. Which means it's open to everyone. All genders. All backgrounds. You don't have to be a nudist. You don't have to explain a single thing to anybody.
- That fabulous female friend you keep meaning to travel with? Bring her.
- The married couple who won't shut up about "someday doing Europe"? This is someday.
- Your best friend who calls nudism "interesting but not for me"? He's going to lose his mind over a luxury river cruise through Austrian Christmas markets.
This one runs on class, sophistication, and wit. The Danube doesn't care what you wear at home. It just wants you to show up.
Many of you have traveled with me before. So you know exactly what I mean when I say it: this one's worth it. Life's short and the markets only happen once a year.
Take care, stay bare,
