Itinerary

Strasbourg
Boarding at 3pm. Excursion included: Strasbourg Christmas Market. Coach transfer to downtown... more+ Strasbourg. Discovery of the Christmas markets on foot with the animation team. The emblematic "Christkindelsmärik" unfolds its magic in the heart of Europe's capital. More than 300 wooden chalets in various squares around the city invite you to make enchanting discoveries in a magical atmosphere. Let's start with the Petite France district, the most picturesque part of old Strasbourg. Fishermen, millers and tanners once lived and worked in this waterfront district. The magnificent half-timbered houses date from the 16th and 17th centuries. Their sloping roofs open onto attics where hides were once dried. Then it's on to Cathedral Square (outside). With its 142-metre spire, the cathedral and its pink sandstone lace dress dominate the entire Alsace plain. Don't miss the Kammerzell house (1589), decorated with carved beams and half-timbering. Return on board.

Visit Marksburg Castle in Braubach
The medieval town of Braubach, surrounded by vines, is dominated by Marksburg Castle. Set off by coach for a guided visit of Marksburg Castle. Built in the 13th century, it sits high on a cliff overlooking the Rhine from a height of more than 160 meters and... more+ towers over the narrow and winding alleyways of Braubach's historic old town. Marksburg is the only castle in the Rhine Valley never to have been destroyed. Beginning with the construction of the keep in the 13th century, the castle grew into its present shape throughout the succeeding centuries. The castle evolved and developed due in no small part to its defense system which was exemplary; a tunnel was constructed and strengthened with impressive vaults, cannons were added as were wooden gates and drawbridges that could be raised or lowered, to act as a defensive shield. This proved to be a recipe for success, providing an excellent far-reaching defense system for the castle. You will be able to visit some quite remarkable rooms in the castle such as the impressive kitchen with its imposing open fireplace, the ladies' quarters, the knights' hall, the armory, the small tower bedrooms, the chapel, the wine cellar, the paths along the top of the walls and many other sights which will transport you back through time to the Middle Ages. There is a little free time before returning by coach to the boat. PLEASE NOTE The order of the visits can change. Times are approximate.
