Creator's Key Takeaways

I have so much to tell you. Today is only Tuesday. We got on the ship on Sunday, but you would not believe everything I have to share.

AmaWaterways has exceeded our expectations with their tours, organization, and onboard experience.

We pull up to the ship here and immediately takes your breath away.

It is that fantastic.

Book pre-cruise or post-cruise extensions separately if you want to add extra days.
Have your luggage outside your door by 6:30 AM for transfer to the ship.
Use the provided coupons for glue wine or non-alcoholic punch at Christmas markets.

YouTube Video Description

We are officially aboard the beautiful AmaWaterways AmaMagna for our Christmas Market cruise on the Danube!

AmaWaterways has exceeded our expectations with their tours, organization, and onboard experience. I talk through how the pre-cruise extension works, how luggage and transfers are handled, what happens during check-in on the ship, and what our first evening on board was like. I also share what the Christmas markets have been like in Prague, Regensburg, Vilshofen, and Pasau—each one magical in its own way. If you’ve ever wondered whether a Christmas market river cruise might be for you, I hope this helps give you a clear picture.
