Additional information

Enjoy several Christmas markets in one day - and in two countries. Before you board the comfortably heated Christmas ship, a visit to the Bregenz Christmas markets - at Kornmarktplatz and in Oberstadt* - is a must. On the MS "Austria" there is a nativity scene exhibition, a model railway and a winter forest to discover, as well as a bar on the outside deck.

The beautiful trip to the island of Lindau finds a special highlight at the entrance there - with the festively illuminated skyline, the Bavarian Lion as well as the lighthouse. In Lindau, you have the opportunity to stroll in the shops on weekdays or take a romantic walk around the island on all days.
