You do your Christmas shopping, taste the treats at the markets and enjoy a Christmas lunch on the water, while the crew of the festively decorated ship takes care of the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We follow the current along the Main to the Rhine and on via Mainz and R\u00fcdesheim. The cruise ends with the most beautiful stretch of the river, the Romantic Rhine, before we moor in Koblenz, where the Moselle meets the Rhine. There is plenty of time in each port to visit the Christmas markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cruise is also available in the opposite direction \u2013 from Koblenz to Frankfurt \u2013 and the two can be combined into eight nights on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group c2g-highlights has-global-padding is-layout-constrained
