DAY-BY-DAY ITINERARY
DAY 1: WELCOME TO VIENNA
Your festive adventure begins in Vienna, the imperial heart of Austria and one of
Europe’s most dazzling holiday destinations. Upon arrival, transfer to your charming
hotel and take some time to settle in. This evening, gather with your fellow travelers for a
warm Welcome Meeting—an opportunity to connect with your Tour Manager and new
friends who share your love of seasonal sparkle and cultural discovery. Afterward, you may
wish to explore your 昀椀rst Christmas market: the one nestled at the foot of the Schönbrunn
Palace, where baroque architecture meets twinkling lights, local crafts, and the scent of
roasted almonds drifting through the winter air.
DAY 2: SPANISH STALLIONS & STITCHES – VIENNA RIVER CRUISE EMBARKATION
After a hearty breakfast (included daily), begin your day with a visit to the legendary
Spanish Riding School† to observe the Lipizzaner stallions during their morning
exercise—an elegant tradition dating back centuries. From there, enjoy a special stop at
Das Handarbeitsgeschaeft, Vienna’s most cherished quilt shop, beloved for its curated
selection of fabric, notions, and old-world charm. This afternoon, board your luxurious
river cruise ship and settle into your stateroom. As you meet the crew over a festive
Welcome Cocktail, prepare for an unforgettable voyage down the fabled Danube.
Tonight’s Austrian-inspired dinner sets the tone for the delicious experiences ahead. B D
