We took a Christmas Cruise to the Strasbourg Christmas Markets

[@chulita097]

This is by far the most amazing vlog produced. The commentary, scenery and food, simply stunning. I cannot wait to see the Black Forest. Thank you for taking us along.

[@Cruisewith]

Wow thank you! Such a wonderful comment.

[@marsha1963]

I agree

[@marjielalonde3875]

This trip just gets better and better! (Ben will never get over Rose leaving Jack..."plenty of room on that door!") lol

[@Pitsler]

That toasted French bread with cheese! OMG!!

[@ScottSingerCruises]

Looked like a fairytale! Thanks for bringing us along!

[@Cruisewith]

Thanks Scott! Hope you had a wonderful christmas

[@lindaroland8226]

These videos from your river cruise have been amazing! I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to take us along with you on your adventures. I’ve cruised many times, but mostly to the Caribbean and Canada, so I’ve never seen anything like what you’ve shared with all of us. I can hardly wait for the next video, from the Black Forest. I’m already starting to work on my husband to do this trip next Christmas. 🤞🏻

[@Cruisewith]

Thanks Linda!

[@deniseharrison7473]

Hello Ben and David from Northern California. Thank you for taking us on your many beautiful adventures. You are such a lovely couple. I have never cruised, but live through your adventures. Again, Thank you, Thank you, Love you both!!

[@marcialarson7059]

You will love the Black Forest. We lived in Lahr Germany for 6 years when my husband was in the forces, would love to go back and see the country again.

[@MencyNars]

lucky you, its not crowded. thats my favorite Xmas market sofar. went there Xmas 2023 and very crowded. Thank you for sharing this video

[@nicoleashley8235]

This cruise is going to be so booked up in the future because of you guys! Phenomenal vlogging!! Cant get enough 💕

[@nelsondeaton9271]

Truly a beautiful place!! River cruises offer so many wonderful options!! Thank you for a beautiful experience!!!

[@southerncaladygolfer8651]

A few years ago we ended up at that cathedral as mass was starting so we stayed…..absolutely beautiful!

[@brianb2837]

All of these video’s off your cruise have been so much fun to watch! Thanks Ben and David!

[@Cruisewith]

Our pleasure!

[@kamelhaj6850]

Strasbourg is just so...wow! I'm watching this two days after Christmas and I feel like a kid on Christmas eve. In a way, it brings back memories of Christmases past. Beyond beautiful! Of course, I would be remiss not to mention how many times I laughed at Ben's jokes!!

[@Cruisewith]

Thank you! Yes, Strasbourg was stunning

[@susie9893]

@@Cruisewith actually 1 of my favourite lines in this video was: "see Ben, I can do jokes too"

[@brookeg.3566]

I've watched all of your vlogs and they are all fabulous but this river cruise Christmas is in my top 3 without a doubt!

[@JeanW99]

Love your videos. Saw the one on the ugly Comments. Don't let the losers sway what to do. They have always been there, just have a platform nowadays to be heard.

[@kathewright5619]

You brought back wonderful memories of our Christmas visit to Strasbourg. Loved it so much we are going back again next year--this time I will be sure to visit the gingerbread shop! Thanks so much guys!

[@happytraveller2122]

River cruises are the best. Christmas is the icing on the cake. Looks amazing.

[@Cruisewith]

Couldn't agree more!

[@MegaDeano72]

"be still my beating mouth"!! 😂😂🤣🤣brilliant, you two crack me up!

[@annesoper911]

I am watching this on December 30th, my 75th birthday. I started cruising at age 4 and a half traveling to Australia from England. These were 4 and 5 week excursions and I loved them. I resumed cruising in 2008 when my late husband and I owned a small mobile home very near Orlando and we cruised every year till he passed in 2019.I then took my daughter with me in October of that year. Watching you lovely men document your cruising at this scary time is so comforting. Thankyou and a very Happy New Year.

[@marygorden2334]

Thank you so much for your fun videos!!!! Love you two!

I have enjoyed the videos from this river cruise so very much! I have felt like I'm exploring the cities/ towns right along with you. Sadly, without the delicious pastries. 🥐🥧🍰 😊🎄🎄

So happy you have enjoyed it! Maybe we should advertise a list of food you need to watch our videos in future. Eat with Ben & David. LOL

wonderful to experience this amazing trip with you both, makes me want to do this river cruise

[@Cruisewith]

You should!

[@djt_Art_Travel]

There is something divinely fascinating watched the two of you 'wax lyrical' when you are eating or drinking. A joy. Like children in a toy shop. The cruise looked wonderful. Thank your for taking us with you

[@candytoo3729]

Newfoundland subscriber here. You should take a cruise that circumnavigates Newfoundland. You would love it I think, Totally different experience.

[@luzziann1524]

The places in Strasbourg where you've been is called " Petit France " and belive it or not, 2 years ago they had a lot more ChristmasDekoration especially in the small streets and it was much more crowded with people from all over the world. The bakerys and cafes have fantastic food,good you tried some,i am a little jealous but looking forward to go back there 2022 . Have a nice start into the new year🥂 and stay healthy 🙋‍♀️

[@ericleszkowicz898]

Booking my tickets for next year…..Amazing video

[@kerrycurtis9418]

Thank you for such a wonderful and fun video of the Christmas markets in Strasbourg ! I'm headed there in a week. Can't wait!

[@CoolMommyC]

“And I’m really into method acting.”😂😂😂 You two are the best. Loved the video.

[@MissCharliechop]

Omgosh! I just adore Ben and his Beauty and the Beast references and singing. So cute!

[@pandorad3427]

Thank you both so much for this !!! What an absolutely enchanting video. It was so beautiful in some bits, that I was tearing-up 🥲 with happiness !!! All the best to you two !

That candy Ben ate is called Divinity in the states. America. It is a sweet candy.

[@terrimallozzi903]

Thank you so much for putting out such wonderful vlogs of your adventures. This river cruise visiting these Christmas festivals are by far my favorites and I have already watched them multiple times. I told my son today this trip has been added to my bucket list. He and his husband need to take me so start the planning lol!!

[@allisonabbott-kline4765]

I so enjoy traveling vicariously with you both! A joyous trip indeed. Happy Christmas from California....

[@soshiangel90]

I'm so glad I'm watching this in the Christmas season cuz it's reminding me/making me excited/interested to actually go to my local German Christmas. I went last year with my now ex so I didn't have any eagerness to go this year...but now, after watching this and remembering how pretty and fun it is and the great food I didn't get to try and the shops I couldn't afford....I think I have to go back after all

[@jennybogue8244]

You GUYS! I had absolutely NO IDEA something like this existed in the real world! I might need to add this cruise to these ports to my bucket list!

[@ivandouglas-happyhealthyli3405]

Wow! You guys are so fun to watch! Excellent filming and great commentary! Thank you!

[@ravenstormchild6491]

I’m so jealous! It’s -30C where I am right now…

This certainly was a fantastic holiday. Can't wait to see the rest but I am sold on Strasbourg, France as the best of the rest. I can almost smell that gingerbread!

[@mannydeluca6485]

What a great trip so far. Germany and France really know how to celebrate Christmas with such beautiful decorations and all the wonderful food!!! This cruise looks so spectacular and even better than some of your previous cruises. Great job as usual guys!!!

Thanks Manny!

[@eileenliebel4132]

Absolutely have loved your river cruise and the various christmas markets!! I have to do one!!! David, love your anchor shirt!!!

Thanks Sally

[@jancatperson8329]

If I ever get to take a river cruise, it will be at Christmas. Looks so festive! This vlog especially interested me. My German great-grandfather was born in Baden and raised in Alsace when it was part of Germany, and I watched thinking that he lived in towns like those right along that same river. Very nice!

[@jillk8291]

I haven't read all the comments, but in French, hot wine is pronounced 'van showed", glue vine in German or in Norwegian Glugg. (all spelled phonectically, not correctly 🙂! Drink them, enjoy them!

[@barbaralazier8352]

I look forward to my Viking Christmas cruise later this year. Thank you🎉

[@barbarap5278]

Loved watching this series, brought back so many good memories. I enjoyed Strasbourg Christmas Markets the best... but had a great time in all of them... I still make Gluhwin to this day at Christmas time... did you ever see a upside Christmas tree in any of the restaurants? So fun..

[@vickyb5935]

I really think you guys would enjoy doing more River cruises! We`ve done 2 now and absolutely love them. Even tho I also love BIG cruises, I think you have more of a cultural experience and also see alot of great scenery while cruising. I highly recommend cruising on the Duoro from Porto, Portugal!

[@ameliaerin1544]

So Glad you had a great time. Ben, luv to watch you eat, made my day! Happy New Year to you both!😀

[@MaliMorgan-g5i]

Pinocchio is Italian. The wooden Christmas decorations are German made. An authentic French market. A bit like the Christmas markets in the UK….😂

Loved the video as always!! Hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas!! I must say though wearing masks outside seem to be a bit much, I know different places require different things. I feel the world needs to realize Covid is here to stay, we know what to do to help ourselves, but life needs to get on without so much panic over it.

Happy new year to you two One question will you make a news video about the actual situation in the cruise sector because of COVID at the Moment There are so many rumours about lots of passengers on Ghost Ships because the ports are closed or even passengers which are a kind of hostage on an AIDA cruise in Lissabon Yes this are all rumours and lots of fake news around so please make a video about it with your deep inside knowledge of the industry

[@chrishaffer9880]

Hey David- the jacket you're wearing in this video looks lightweight, easily packable, and warm. I've been looking for something similar. I see it's a Regatta. Do you happen to recall the name of the style/model? Thanks!

Hey Chris, I don't remember unfortunately. It bout it a few years ago from Debenhams before it closed down.

[@christinerees6275]

I know you are both busy xx But could i ask a question please ? x My husband has had a stroke , I am thinking of a saga cruise with him ? Or which ship would you reccomend ? I know you both too yong for saga lol ,But you have had a nose around x
