Christmas Markets of the Rhine 2024 Cruise Review

“As seasoned summer Rhine cruisers, we were totally unprepared for how very different this river is in winter. The landscapes were breathtaking, and the atmosphere in the cities was just magical. There were lots of Christmas markets to visit, packed with gifts and delicious food. The interactive maps and headsets were the perfect guide, meaning you could go where you wanted but always had plenty of information. The Spirit of the Rhine was luxurious as always. This mini break is the perfect start to the Christmas season.”

Christmas Markets of the Rhine 2024 FAQ

Are there medical services on board the ship?

The Spirit of the Rhine has one fully trained first aider for guests who need medical assistance during their holiday. If you take regular medication, keeping a written record of it – type and dosage – in your cabin in case staff need this information if you are taken ill is useful.

Do I need travel insurance?

Saga includes optional Saga Cruise Travel Insurance in your holiday price with enhanced cancellation rights detailed in the booking conditions. If you don’t want our optional insurance, we will offer an opt-out price reduction. In this event, Saga recommends that you take out your own fully comprehensive travel insurance to cover the total value of your cruise and the scheduled destinations.

When is the final payment due for my cruise?

You must pay the balance for your cruise no later than 90 days before you sail. You can call and pay over the phone or pay online by clicking on ‘Manage My Booking’ on the website. Saga does not retain card details, so the final payment won’t be taken automatically.
