Railbookers runs this 12-day, 11-night rail package as a Christmas Markets journey aboard the Golden Eagle Danube Express, starting in Basel. The operator's description sets the city's Christmas markets against the backdrop of the Rhine River, before the route continues to Stuttgart for more Christmas markets and cultural sights, then on to Munich and finishing in Budapest. It is listed as an Independent rail package rather than an escorted tour, so travellers move between stops on their own. It suits travellers who want a named luxury train combined with an independent, multi-city Christmas markets holiday through Germany, Switzerland and Hungary.
