The cruise starts in D\u00fcsseldorf on 23 December, and on Christmas Eve we celebrate with a Christmas dinner on board as the ship sails up the Rhine. On Christmas Day we gather for a traditional Christmas lunch. Over the holidays we visit Koblenz at the Deutsches Eck, the wine town of R\u00fcdesheim and the cathedral city of Cologne before returning to D\u00fcsseldorf. A calm and atmospheric way to spend Christmas, with time for both good company on board and experiences ashore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group c2g-highlights has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Highlights<\/h3>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list c2g-checklist\"><li>Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas Day lunch on board<\/li><li>Christmas Eve on the Rhine<\/li><li>Koblenz, R\u00fcdesheim and Cologne over the holidays<\/li><li>6-day river cruise on MS Leonora<\/li><li>All meals on board<\/li><li>English-speaking staff on board<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped c2g-gallery wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"131\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/jul4-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Julemarked foran det gamle r\u00e5dhus i D\u00fcsseldorf\" class=\"wp-image-131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/jul4-682x1024.jpg 682w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/jul4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/jul4.jpg 1446w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 682px) 100vw, 682px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"132\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/dusseldorf-1745334_1920-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Rhinpromenaden i D\u00fcsseldorf om aftenen med pariserhjul og Slott\u00e5rnet\" class=\"wp-image-132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/dusseldorf-1745334_1920-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/dusseldorf-1745334_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/dusseldorf-1745334_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" data-id=\"133\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/hohenzollern-bridge-2204898_1920-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"K\u00f6ln med domkirken og Hohenzollernbroen ved aftentid\" class=\"wp-image-133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/hohenzollern-bridge-2204898_1920-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/hohenzollern-bridge-2204898_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/hohenzollern-bridge-2204898_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/christmas-ornament-435408_1280-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Julekugle og grangren med et t\u00e6ndt stearinlys\" class=\"wp-image-130\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/christmas-ornament-435408_1280-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/christmas-ornament-435408_1280-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/christmas-ornament-435408_1280.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"128\" src=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/christmas-market-550323_1920-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Julepynt og glaskugler i en bod p\u00e5 et tysk julemarked\" class=\"wp-image-128\" srcset=\"https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/christmas-market-550323_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/christmas-market-550323_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/beta.cruise2go.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/christmas-market-550323_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"dagsprogram\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Itinerary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group c2g-itinerary has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary><span><strong>Day 1<\/strong>Embarkation, D\u00fcsseldorf<\/span><\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you arrive on MS Leonora, the ship&#039;s cruise manager welcomes you in the lounge and goes through safety procedures and practical information.
