Experience the Schönbrunn Palace & Christmas Market
Day 3 | Vienna
$158.00 pp
Travel from the port to one of Vienna's most beautiful buildings, the Schönbrunn Palace, which was modeled after the palace of Versailles, the residence of Louis XIV (Le Roi Soleil). Here you can view the state apartments of the Habsburgs' summer residence for many years. The Schönbrunn Palace is one of Austria's treasures and a sight to be seen! After, enjoy a delightful visit to the amazing Christmas market.
The Palais Thurn & Taxis and Its’ Christmas Market
Day 6 | Regensburg
$140.00 pp
Experience the beauty and magic of the romantic Christmas market at Thurn and Taxis Palace in Regensburg. Begin your tour by visiting the state rooms of the princely palace and the palace courtyard, then stroll the royal gardens and take in the festive atmosphere of the enchanting Christmas market. Make your way through the stalls of festive wooden huts and explore artisan crafts and culinary delicacies.
The reason I wanted to take a Christmas market tour was to visit the markets, particularly at night when they're all lit up and festive. This did not happen other than a quick walk through on our first stop. Our stop in Vienna was during the day, seeing all the holiday decorations that would have been amazing to see in the evening, but that was not an option for us...so very disappointing! Also, the ship was dated and the hallway carpets were filthy along the edge. The evening entertainment was nice, but it was the same every evening. Our guide was nice, but not really that engaged with our group. She also made it very clear she was expecting a nice tip from all of us, and how much she depended on her tips. I think everyone planned on tipping her and the staff (they were amazing), but it was very close to pandering regarding her tips. Dinner tables were reserved for seating along the windows...Any particular reason why those groups had the windows every evening??
I would not recommend this tour based on my comments.
I have traveled with Collette previously with great experiences, but this trip was a total disappointment.

I want to share with you some of the challenges, difficulties, and disappointments my group and myself experienced on Collette’s December 12 Christmas Markets River Cruise. First of all, Collette changed the dates of the trip and the ship - which should have been a red flag to bail.
The ship and the flights are the center of all the complaints:
•Power Outages: The power went out many times the first two days and once after we had left Regensburg. We even had a power outage on the day they announced the power problem had been fixed!
•Unusually high step down to ship: The concrete step down to board the ship in Regensburg was unusually high and very painful for my guests to navigate even with help. I expected the crew to who witnessed people having problems to resolve it so stepping up from and down to the ship wasn’t so dangerous. It didn’t happen.
•Elevator Out of Service: It was out of service the first three days
•Charging for ice water at the bar and coffee at lunch: I was under the impression from the initial details of the trip that coffee, tea, and water would be complimentary during lunch and dinner. It was only complimentary at breakfast. Eventually this issue was resolved but in my view, it shouldn’t have been a problem from the start.
•Overall: The Swiss Crown, a very old ship was a poor replacement for the Amadeus Brillance.
As for the flights booked by Collette, there was tremendous confusion before the trip because several people were assigned the same location reservation number, meaning no one could go on line without making changes for the other people grouped with them.
I worked hours straightening this mess out with Collette and my group. I don’t understand why each stateroom didn’t have its own airline reservation location number.
Also, it turns out the information I was given from Collette that my guests would be able to select their seats on our British Airways flights 8 days before the trip was incorrect. After many phone calls and complaints from people, I found out the window for picking seats was only 24 hours before the flight. Many were forced to sit separately, which is not how you want a big exciting expensive vacation to start.
As for British Airways, they’re a disaster. Everyone reported a bad experience from very little leg room, rude attendants to not being able to get water. Both ways, it was the worst overseas flights I have experienced in my 30+ years of traveling the world.
Fortunately, the tour manager, Daja, was fantastic.

The tour manager was excellent! Prague was the best town - safe and easily walkable.
The cruise line was average, but since it was switched AFTER we booked, the book we booked was subpar - a suite on the 2th floor (not top) and didn't even have a French or real balcony - just a window - really??

Tour was good. Activity level needs to be re-evaluated as our group were mostly 60s-70s and the walking speed was to fast. Would have liked more time seeing historical sites.
Worst part, the airline was very bad. Collette should have nade the flight two-legs, not three with 2-4 hour layovers.
