Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Strasbourg

    You'll board at 3:00 p.m. and head right into the Christmas market around the cathedral and Place Broglie, which ranks among Europe's largest holiday markets. The crowd and decorations make for a good atmosphere to walk around and grab something if you're hungry. Back onboard, there's a welcome cocktail where you'll meet the crew, then dinner follows. The evening has Christmas-themed entertainment lined up, so you won't need to venture far.

    Meals
    Dinner (Welcome dinner onboard)

    Included Activities

    • Christmas market exploration around the cathedral and Place Broglie
    • Welcome cocktail
    • Onboard entertainment - Christmas-themed evening
    Landmarks/POIs
    Cathedral of Notre-Dame de Strasbourg
    Place Broglie
  2. Day 2

    Breisach

    An included excursion takes you into Colmar, a town with serious art and culture credentials, so you'll have time to check out galleries and historic areas at your own pace. You'll return for Christmas Eve dinner onboard, and later there's a Midnight Mass happening in Breisach if you want to attend. It's a quieter day compared to the market crowds from before.

    Start with a final buffet breakfast and lunch while the ship sails toward Strasbourg, arriving between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. Once the ship docks, you'll disembark and that marks the end of the tour. Pack the night before since you'll be heading out after lunch.

Customer Reviews

    · September 27th, 2025
    Our cruise on MS Symphonie was excellent. The boat and our cabin in particular were comfortable and well equipped. The food was very good, tasty, beautifully prepared and presented, with well-sized portions, and a wide variety of French cuisine including many regional specialities. The included wines were varied, delicious and demonstrated an interesting range of French varieties. The range of the other drinks on offer was also very satisfactory. We did not feel it was necessary to try any of the paid drinks but it was nice to know they were available. Service was excellent in all categories: efficient and friendly. We only took two of the optional excursions (Strasbourg and Colmar) and both were well organised and very interesting. We would happily take another cruise with CroisiEurope.
