Christmas Markets River Cruise

The highlight of our 2022 cruise adventures was the Avalon Imagery II - 7-Night Festive Season in the Heart of Germany with Prague - Westbound (Prague to Frankfurt) river cruise. This cruise was originally planned for 2020 but got rebooked twice due to the pandemic. We flew to Frankfurt, Germany, took a train to Prague, spent two nights there and then sailed from Nuremberg, Germany back to Frankfurt. We visited several Christmas Markets during the trip.

Catalina & Baja Mexico


We looked for a short cruise on the west coast right before our Alaska cruise out of Seattle. We hadn't sailed on Carnival Radiance or been to Catalina Island, so this was the perfect match.
