Okay, gentlemen… and friends, family, travel lovers, and anybody who just wants a little magic in their life…
I’m seriously considering putting together a very special group trip for Christmas Market season in Europe in late November or early December 2027, and before I go reserving space on the ship, I want to see who might actually be interested.
This would be a little different from our usual GoNaked adventures.
Because, darling… it’s Europe in winter. Nobody wants frozen nipples on the Rhine River. 😄
So this trip would be open to:
• Nudists
• Non-nudists
• Friends
• Family members
• Couples
• Solo travelers
• Basically anybody wonderful who wants to experience Europe at its most magical
(Just no children for this one.)
Yes! I'd Consider Going!

The Cruise
We’d be sailing with Avalon Waterways on their beautiful Christmastime in Alsace & Germany river cruise.
Think:
✨ Snow-dusted villages
✨ Medieval towns glowing with Christmas lights
✨ Hot mulled wine and roasted chestnuts
✨ Giant Gothic cathedrals
✨ Cozy cafés
✨ Gingerbread everywhere
✨ Tiny wooden market stalls filled with ornaments, candles, handmade gifts, and enough carbohydrates to make stretchy pants a spiritual experience
This is one of those trips that feels like you accidentally wandered into a Hallmark movie… except with better wine and fewer emotionally unavailable bakers.
The Route
The cruise begins in Basel, Switzerland and winds through Germany and France along the Rhine River.
Stops include:
🎄 Breisach & the Black Forest
🎄 Strasbourg, France and its legendary Christmas markets
🎄 Heidelberg Castle and its holiday markets
🎄 Frankfurt, Germany
And Avalon’s ships are gorgeous. Their suites are designed so your bed faces giant panoramic windows, meaning you can literally stay under the covers while castles and snowy villages drift by outside.
Honestly? Dangerous levels of cozy.
2027? Christmas Markets? Count Me In!
The Timing & Pricing
This would likely happen in:
📅 Late November or early December 2027
Estimated pricing right now appears to be roughly:
💶 Around $3,000–$5,000 per person depending on cabin type and current promotions.
That pricing typically includes:
✔ Your luxury river cruise accommodations
✔ Most meals onboard
✔ Guided excursions
✔ Entertainment onboard
✔ Transportation between ports
Flights would likely be separate.
IMPORTANT:
Right now, I am ONLY gauging interest.
No commitments.
No deposits.
No pressure.
I just need to get a feel for whether enough people would want to do this so I can potentially reserve group space before cabins disappear into the wintery European abyss.
If this sounds like your kind of magic, let me know:
🎄 “I’m interested.”
🎄 “Tell me more.”
🎄 “I want the cozy castle cruise.”
🎄 “Feed me gingerbread and point me toward Europe.”
You get the idea. 😄
Yeah! I think I'd go!
