How late do we stay at each of those cities? Are we able to see the Christmas Markets at nights?

At the moment, we are unable to give you the specific time on each day as this will be confirmed when it's closer to departure. I can see that you will have the chance to see the Christmas Markets during the day, however, usually at night, you will be spending your time sailing to another destination.

good overall. the day spent in heilbronn was disappointing. we had no local guides, which I understand is a violation of European regulations which state at all local stops there will be a qualified local guide. also, we spent over 3 hours in a restaurant there, time which would have been better spent exploring the town. specifically, we should have gone back to Heidelberg earlier in the day. I don't understand the Heilbronn stop or what happened.Show more
