Scenic & Emerald Unveil 2026/2027 Europe Festive River Cruise Collections

Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours and Emerald Cruises & Tours have unveiled their 2026 and 2027 Europe festive river cruise collection.



Ken Muskat, President, Scenic Group USA & LATAM, said: “There is something truly special about experiencing Europe during the holiday season. Christmas markets aren’t simply places to shop, they’re where centuries-old traditions, local culture and festive celebrations come together in a way that creates lasting memories. River cruising allows guests to wake up in a new Christmas destination each day while enjoying the comfort and ease of unpacking just once. It’s one of the most immersive and rewarding ways to experience the magic of the season.”   



Robert Castro, Vice President of Marketing, Scenic Group USA & LATAM, said: “Today’s travellers are looking for experiences that feel authentic and emotionally meaningful, and Europe’s Christmas markets deliver exactly that. From twinkling village squares and centuries-old holiday traditions to seasonal cuisine and unforgettable scenery, these journeys create moments that stay with travellers long after the decorations come down. They’re the kinds of experiences that travellers talk about for years.” 



From wandering through twinkling Christmas markets and sipping mulled wine beneath glittering lights to discovering storybook villages blanketed in winter charm, these immersive itineraries capture the essence of a European holiday. 


Guests can browse handcrafted ornaments in Cologne, experience Vienna’s elegant Christmas markets, marvel at Strasbourg’s world-famous Christkindelsmärik - the oldest Christmas market in France - and enjoy festive traditions, local cuisine and seasonal entertainment throughout their journey.
