Great British Baking Show’s Mary Berry to join Emerald Waterways for a Christmas Market cruise on the Danube this December


On Your Marks, Get Set, Sail the Danube with Mary Berry this Christmas

Host of the Great British Baking Show to Join Emerald Waterways Christmas Market Cruise

Boston, MA (May 2018) – One of the greatest allures of the holiday season is the array of cookies, pies, cakes and other baked goodies that inevitably accompany it. This Christmas season, Emerald Waterways found a way to combine the delight of holiday baking with the adventure of a Christmas Market sailing through Europe with their newly announced Festive Delights of the Danube sailing, featuring Mary Berry, esteemed British baker and host of the popular Great British Baking Show.

The eight-day Festive Delights of the Danube sailing with Mary Berry will depart Nuremberg on December 1, 2018 and sail through Germany, Austria and Slovakia, visiting some of Europe's favorite Christmas markets before concluding in Budapest. Guests on this special sailing will have several opportunities to meet and sail with the beloved British Baking star: in Vienna, Mary Berry will join guests for a delicious afternoon tea and share tales from her storied career during an informal Q&A session; and enjoy a book signing the next day in Bratislava, where all guests will receive a complimentary copy of her latest publication. A special Christmas dinner gala feature courses specially chosen by Mary Berry.

All of this is on top of touring some of the most popular Christmas markets in Europe, including Vienna, where the market is held just in front of the city's "rathaus" (town hall), and Nuremburg's Christmas market, which dates to 1628 and reminds visitors that this town has a rich history of creating some of the finest toys in the world.

Pricing for the sailing starts at $2,295 per person based on double occupancy, and guests who book by May 31 will receive a $300 discount per person and 50% off all cabin upgrades, based on availability.

Emerald Waterways' river cruises offer contemporary, deluxe ships, outstanding service and an incredibly inclusive pricing plan. Cruise fares include all transfers; all port charges; all onboard (and some on-shore) meals; unlimited specialty tea and coffee, wine, beer and soft drinks with lunch and dinner; bottled water in the cabins replenished daily; continental breakfast, pre-dinner canapés and after-dinner sweet treats served in the top suites; complimentary Wi-Fi onboard the ship; most shore excursions as well as all onboard and excursion gratuities.

Part of Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, Emerald Waterways' seven Star-Ships offer river sailings in Europe and exclusive charters on the RV Mekong Navigator and Irrawaddy Explorer in South East Asia, the MS Rossia along the Volga River and the Adriatic Princess II in Croatia. Scenic's 15 Space-Ships offer truly all-inclusive, five-star river cruises in the same destinations as well as the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar and the Volga River in Russia.
