Prague

Welcome to the Czech Republic and Prague, one of Europe's most magical cities. The enchanting Czech capital is especially renowned for its stunning Gothic and Baroque architecture.

Day 3

Prague > Vienna

This morning, after breakfast, you'll depart your hotel in Prague and be transferred by coach to Austria, arriving in the magnificent capital, Vienna. Here, you'll board your luxury Emerald Star-Ship.

Day 4

Vienna

This ornate cityscape was home to famous musicians and composers like Mozart and Beethoven, and the father of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. At this time of year, its squares become enchanting Christmas markets filled with the aromas of cookies, hot punch and roasted chestnuts. The Old City and shopping streets sparkle with festive lights.

Day 5

Bratislava

Gothic architecture and fascinating tales of a Communist past welcome you to Bratislava, a capital that has seen much turbulence over the past century. Set at the crossroads of ancient trade routes, this is a place where Baroque palaces, boutiques and cafés adorn medieval cobblestone streets. The Christmas season adds an extra layer to the city, where a blend of distinctive cultures comes together to showcase their handcrafted ornaments and delicious treats.

Day 6

Budapest

Offering an abundance of historical whimsy, Budapest is known for its architectural diversity and famed monuments that pepper both sides of the Danube. This World Heritage-listed city is a true delight at Christmas, when it becomes a magical winter wonderland of decorations, lights and festive cheer. The locals soak in the city’s many thermal baths to beat the crisp chill of the season. Today, your guided coach tour will introduce you to Andrássy Avenue and the neo-Renaissance façades of the townhouses found there, as well as a generous scattering of Christmas decorations.

Day 7

Budapest

After breakfast, it’s time to say farewell to your fellow guests. Disembark your Emerald Star-Ship for your transfer to the airport and take memories of colourful Christmas markets and crisp winter mornings with you
