Thanks to the renditions of beloved melodies by our entertainer Dana Hammett, the beauty of these imposing landscapes gains even more intensity. We’ll take you to see idyllic Christmas markets and fabulous scenic overlooks that will make the children’s eyes glisten – and yours, too.

On this full-day tour, our entertainer and your personal chauffeur will pick you up at your hotel in the morning.

Shortly before St. Gilgen, a breathtaking view of the idyllic winter landscape surrounding Lake Wolfgangsee will open up before you.

A Christmas market that will make the kids‘ eyes sparkle– and yours too!
Afterwards, we’ll stop at the Christmas market in St. Wolfgang, where the ingenious decorations and romantic lighting ensure an extraordinary experience. Fragrant “Vanillekipferl” (vanilla crescent cookies – a traditional Christmas cookie here), “Bauernkrapfen“ (“farmer’s doughnuts”) and the region’s strong, warming winter drinks like mulled wine, Christmas punch and “Jägertee” (Hunter’s Tea) are not to be missed. The Advent market delights visitors of all ages with lovingly designed market stalls, extraordinary decorations and a wonderfully festive atmosphere. And with her singing interludes, Dana adds a very special flair as well.
Enjoy the sunset aboard ship as we steam toward the Nativity village in Strobl
As the sun sets, we’ll take a short boat ride to the idyllic village of Strobl on the opposite side of the lake.

There’s even a small petting zoo, where you can pet sheep, goats and other small animals.
