Rick Braun's River Cruise at Christmas - December 2024

Join us for a cruise that combines your favorite music with wine and the wonders of the Christmas Markets of Europe!  From romantic cities to foodie havens and artistic epicenters, this up close and personal small ship experience, along with the unique musical  experience never seen at any concert or festival. 

We will cruise between Nuremberg and Budapest leaving on Monday, December 9, 2024 for seven glorious days.

Rick and Peter will be performing for four nights in the lounge (you will be touring the markets at night the other nights!)…and to hang with during the day and at meals. This is an up-close experience you cannot have anywhere else!
