The 1st week sold out in less than 20 hours so we are adding a second week!

Get ready for the most festive European Christmas market trip ever!! You've asked, and we listened; it's one of our most requested trips!

So we are renting out an ENTIRE RIVER CRUISE BOAT just for Wanderlust Group Trips and taking you to 4 different European countries: Germany, Austria, Slovakia, & Hungary!

When I did this route with Viking Cruises, we loved it, but the entire boat was 80+ years old.

Ever since, I've been dreaming about putting together a Christmas market cruise for our community! It's truly the best way to see the Christmas markets!

This is an all-inclusive trip: all your meals, all your transfers, all your accommodation, all your excursions, all your drinks (cocktails, wine, beer, specialty coffees/hot cocoa), and professional photos are all included in the price!

Onboard the ship, we will have nightly events like an ugly sweater party, Secret Santa & so much more!!

This is your chance to reunite with all your Wanderlust Group Trips friends & have the most festive Christmas season EVER! Can't wait to celebrate with you!!

Welcome to Munich, the city of rich history, world-famous beer gardens and enchanting Christmas markets! 

In the morning, you can explore the Munich Christmas markets (I'll be onsite with my camera offering photos!!)

Our transfer will be leaving from Sofitel Munich to Passau at 1pm to board our river cruise. This will allow you time in Passau to explore the Christmas Markets there as well.

We'll have our first dinner onboard and kick off the celebrations! All your food & drinks are included for the entire trip. (Yes even cocktails and specialty coffees!!)

It will be so fun reconnecting with travelers from past trips and meeting other Wanderlust Group Trip alumni :) We have a lot of fun things planned for onboard!

Today we arrive in Vienna, Austria's capital & truly an iconic city for Christmas markets in Europe!

We will have an included excursion then you'll have plenty of time to explore.

Countless markets fill the city, so be ready to shop, drink mulled wine, and enjoy the decorations everywhere! You are going to love Vienna!

Mooring: 12:30 Casting off: 20:00

Today we will be exploring one of my favorite European cities!!

Your excursion will start with a walk through downtown Budapest, then Fisherman's Bastion to see some of the best views of the Hungarian Parliament. 

After the included excursion, the day is yours for Christmas markets and Budapest has some of the best!

In the evening, the whole city will be lit up! It's sure to be a highlight of our trip!!

We'll have a front-row seat to the lights as we sail through Budapest!

Enjoy a slow morning, visit the spa, or come play games in the common area! We have a scenic sail to begin the day.

After lunch, we arrive in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia & a city I personally love!

Bratislava is incredibly charming! As with every stop, we will have an included excursion followed by free time in the Christmas markets. You can visit the castle, try the local street food, visit a historic cafe or shop.

When you're done exploring the very traditional Christmas markets here, we'll have an included dinner onboard.

Mooring: 13:00 Casting off: 18:00
