European Christmas Markets

13 December 2023 | Southampton | 8 Nights | Balmoral | L2327

Our itinerary planners have carefully crafted your cruise to coincide with traditional Christmas Markets in three European cities. Hamburg’s markets – which you can enjoy by day and night on this sailing – feature decorated wooden huts brimming with unique wares. You can sample Glühwein and wurst as you mingle with locals and fellow travellers, soaking up the festive atmosphere. Oslo’s city centre and Copenhagen’s colourful quayside, Nyhavn, boast even more markets for you to explore. Your journey also includes a scenic sailing along Oslofjord, passing the Olsen family home in Hvitsten, and navigating the iconic Kiel Canal – a feat only possible on a smaller ship.

Classic Christmas Markets

14 December 2023 | Liverpool | 8 Nights | Borealis | S2325

With calls into three cities timed to coincide with the Christmas Markets, this is the perfect getaway before the arrival of the big day. Charming wooden huts adorned with twinkling lights and selling food, confectionery and handicrafts make for a cosy setting in Hamburg. Perhaps enjoy a mug of steaming Glühwein as you browse for unique gifts. An overnight stay means you can experience the markets by day and night, too. En route to Hamburg, Borealis will cruise the River Elbe, presenting you with views of the city’s shipyards and drydocks. UNESCO-listed Bruges (from Zeebrugge) features festive shopping delights too, from traditional markets to Belgian chocolate shops.

In Search of the Northern Lights

21 December 2023 | Southampton | 14 Nights | Balmoral | L2328

This adventure into the Arctic wilderness includes chances to spot the colourful ribbons of the Northern Lights. You will cruise past the Seven Sisters mountains and Torghatten, a mountain with a hole through its centre, before crossing the Arctic Circle – all while enjoying Christmas Day festivities on board. Ashore you can get closer to nature on a dog sledding tour, connect with the local Sami culture, or perhaps visit the Sorrisniva Igloo Hotel, where an ice sculptor will explain how they helped shape the interior. Balmoral’s smaller size makes it possible to take a scenic shortcut through the Tjeldsundet Strait, before reaching Ålesund for New Year’s Eve fireworks.

Christmas Celebrations in the Canaries

22 December 2023 | Liverpool | 14 Nights | Balmoral | S2326

You can enjoy a memorable Christmas Day on board Borealis, with everything taken care of, as you head for warmer climes of the Canaries. Hopping between islands presents chances to explore the volcanic landscapes of Lanzarote, ascend Tenerife’s Mount Teide via cable car, learn how to make traditional Mojo sauce with a local family, and relax on the golden dunes of Maspalomas Beach in Gran Canaria. Your journey includes a call to Madeira on New Year’s Eve, which our team has timed to coincide with the annual Funchal firework display. Joining a tour with a local orchid specialist is a great way to find out more about the ‘Garden Island’s’ famous floral blooms.
