Yesterday, we had an incredible time hosting our 2027 Christmas Markets on the Rhine River Cruise webinar, and if you joined us, you now know just how magical this trip is going to be!
We answered your questions, shared the stunning itinerary, and gave you an inside look at our home for the week, the brand-new AmaSofia with AmaWaterways. Now, there’s just one thing left to do… reserve your stateroom before they’re gone.
Why Now Is the Time to Act
The European Christmas Markets river cruising season only lasts six short weeks each year, and the AmaSofia carries just 76 staterooms and 156 guests. That means this trip is already in high demand, and we expect our block of cabins to sell out quickly.
Even better, when you book by September 30, 2025, you’ll save up to $1,250 per person, a $1,000 Early Booking Discount plus a $250 per person group discount, exclusive to Dapper Dreams Travel by The Geddings.
And here’s the best part: you can lock in your cabin with just a $400 per person deposit (only $800 per stateroom), and your final payment isn’t due until September 5, 2027. That’s more than two years to spread out the cost!
Here is a link to our our webinar we had to promote this amazing journey. The passcode is @AjXUZ79.
The Journey – December 4–11, 2027

Every port offers included guided excursions, from walking tours and tastings to bike rides, and each one ends right in the heart of a Christmas market.
