Christmas Markets

Surrounded by a spectacular firework display, Queen Victoria finally set sail on her Maiden Voyage on Tuesday 11 December to make her glittering debut in Europe´s Northern Waters, visiting five festive cities on one truly memorable voyage.

Bound for Amsterdam´s Museumplein´s Christmas stalls and glistening ice rink then to fairytale Copenhagen for an overnight stay full of festive spirit. Browse the delightful handicraft markets in Oslo before heading to Hamburg´s shopping district scented by cinnamon and gingerbread with beautifully crafted decorations. The festive markets are in full swing in Bruges too, where the medieval canals are woven as intricately as the lace.
