Nuremberg ↔ Vienna · 7 days
Availability checked Oct 11, 2026. Our October 11 check found 11 departures across both directions with at least one bookable cabin category. Entry-level rooms were sold out on many dates; the lowest fare we saw was a Deluxe Stateroom on the December 14 eastbound sailing. Fares and cabin space can change until a deposit is made, so we will verify the exact room and total before you book.
Why this sailing
A focused Christmas-market route between Nuremberg and Vienna, with bookable 2026 cabins still showing in both directions. It covers the essential Bavarian and Austrian stops without adding hotel nights, making it one of Avalon's simplest late-season choices.
