There's nothing like a river cruise to the Christmas markets of Europe. Ask anyone who's taken one. The setting is about as sentimental and old-timey as it gets when you explore these quaint locales brimming with the spirit of the season.

Now's the ideal time to book a Christmas market cruise on AmaWaterways, with fares starting at $2,049 per person. Enjoy a gondola ride, visit centuries-old cathedrals, explore villages on a bike ride or do some wine tasting. See below for the two best ways to experience the holidays on AmaWaterways.

Jean-Michel Cousteau

Spend 10 memorable days sailing the South Seas to Tahiti and Bora Bora aboard the five-star Paul Gauguin, the flagship of one of our favorite cruise lines.

Why this cruise is special: This is my fifth sailing to Tahiti, and I cannot wait! If you choose the June 1 itinerary, I'll be serving as your host and guide, and world-renowned ocean preservationist and filmmaker Jean-Michel Cousteau will be joining us. This 10-night itinerary is ideal for those who want to experience the best French Polynesia has to offer, at a good rate and with free air fare.
