If you’re the kind of woman who lights a pine-scented candle in October and dreams of strolling hand-in-hand through a snow-dusted European village, then this blog post is for you, friend.
💫 Imagine this: You’re sipping mulled wine as snowflakes fall gently on your coat. You’re surrounded by twinkling lights, charming wooden stalls, and the scent of roasted chestnuts…
This isn’t a scene from a holiday movie — it’s real life on a Christmas Market River Cruise down the Danube… and you’re invited to join me in December 2026.
Bring your hubby, your mom, or your BFF — this is your Hallmark moment. ✨
🌟 WHAT IS A CHRISTMAS MARKET RIVER CRUISE?
A Christmas Market River Cruise is like stepping into a holiday postcard — with gourmet meals, luxury accommodations, and zero stress.
Here’s the vibe:
You board a luxury river ship. Your stateroom is like a boutique hotel on water. Each day, you glide into a charming new European town. You explore, shop, sip, snack, laugh, and return to your ship — where gourmet meals, holiday cheer, and hot cocoa (with a little something extra) are waiting.
Over 7+ nights, you’ll sail through Europe’s most magical holiday towns — exploring storybook villages and iconic markets on the Danube River.
- Explore Europe’s most magical Christmas Markets
- Enjoy included tours, local cuisine, and cultural experiences
- Unpack once — your floating hotel does the work
- Travel with a group of fun, fabulous people (hosted by ME!)
No airports. No rental cars. No “Where should we eat tonight?” stress.
And the best part?
You’re doing it all with GG Mack Luxe Travel and a fabulous group of likeminded women (and a few husbands and moms too!).

🛳 Why First-Time Cruisers Will Love River Cruising
If you’ve only done ocean cruises — or never cruised at all — river cruising is going to blow your mind in the best way.
Here’s why women like YOU fall in love with it:
💡 No crowds, no chaos
River ships only hold 150-ish passengers, not 4,000. That means:
- No long lines
- No loud lobbies
- No feeling lost or overwhelmed
- Just peace, beauty, and personalized service
💡 You dock right in the heart of town
No tenders. No long transfers. Just step off the ship and you’re there — walking into the historic old town, sipping cocoa in 5 minutes.
💡 It’s social if you want it to be
You can join our group for tours, meals, and market fun. Or slip away for solo time with your travel buddy. It’s flexible and zero pressure.
💡 You don’t lift a finger
This is true vacation — no decisions, no stress. I handle the planning. The crew handles the pampering. You just show up and enjoy.
💎 What’s Included in Your Christmas Market River Cruise
Let’s talk VALUE. Here’s what you get with your river cruise fare — much of which you don’t get on big ocean ships or when booking things à la carte:
- ✔️ Your stateroom (many with river views or French balconies)
- ✔️ Daily excursions with local guides
- ✔️ All onboard meals, including local dishes and festive treats
- ✔️ Wine, beer, and soft drinks with lunch and dinner and specialty coffee drinks all day!
- ✔️ Special holiday-themed activities and market tours
- ✔️ Daily tea time, happy hours, and entertainment
- ✔️ Airport transfers (when booked with air)
- ✔️ Concierge-level service every step of the way
PLUS: You’ll be part of my exclusive group, meaning I’ll be there with you to handle anything that comes up. You’re never alone — and never overwhelmed.
🎬 THIS CRUISE = YOUR OWN HOLIDAY ROM-COM
Cozy coat, mulled wine, fairy-lit cobblestone streets — sound familiar?

Your days are filled with:
