Many cruise lines relegate winter cruising to warmer locales, but this is not so with river cruising. On a river cruise, you can enjoy the winter chill while cruising between European Christmas markets or while looking at the passing landscape in Spain. While you can find them worldwide, luxury river cruises around Christmas are most prominently featured in Western and Eastern Europe. Luxury river cruise boats have hotel-style staterooms and a variety of amenities, such as fitness rooms, libraries and spas. - Viking River Cruises offers a wide variety of Christmas river cruises on luxury river cruise ships that feature boutiques, bars, a sun deck, a library and laundry service.
