- Join us in Strasbourg, France for a French Fairytale River Cruise! We explore this incredible city as well as visit some French Christmas Markets - they are slightly different from the ones in Germany. Walking through the picturesque streets is like being in a Disney movie! Plus we see beautiful Christmas Decorations and lights all around the city!

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.
Wow thank you! Such a wonderful comment.
I agree
This trip just gets better and better! (Ben will never get over Rose leaving Jack..."plenty of room on that door!") lol
Yet another fun episode, you two make me laugh every time… thanks for taking us along.
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. 🤞🏻
Thanks Linda!
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.
Looked like a fairytale! Thanks for bringing us along!
Thanks Scott! Hope you had a wonderful christmas
That toasted French bread with cheese! OMG!!
Ben and David, I love you guys, you are so gorgeous together, you make my day and I so look forward to your vids, You are my favourite vloggers, I am from Australia , I would love to meet you both on day, but it’s very unlikely given this current pandemic. Please don’t stop recording , I can’t wait to travel again to Europe, my las trip was in 2015. Love love love you both, Rose.
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!!
I just love you two and you infectious enthusiasm.....would be fun to travel with you!
We can meet them at the port, next time😀
A few years ago we ended up at that cathedral as mass was starting so we stayed…..absolutely beautiful!
How Absolutely Wonderful!!! How are you guys not constantly falling into food comas??? So good to be back watching you 2 after my travels!!! A Christmas cruise in Europe must happen for me soon! Maybe 2022!!! ❤️💚❤️
Truly a beautiful place!! River cruises offer so many wonderful options!! Thank you for a beautiful experience!!!
All of these video’s off your cruise have been so much fun to watch! Thanks Ben and David!
Our pleasure!
Thank you for this video! I have always wanted to go on a Christmas market river cruise, and I think your wonderful video has helped convince my husband this is something we need to do!
Newfoundland subscriber here. You should take a cruise that circumnavigates Newfoundland. You would love it I think, Totally different experience.
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!
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.
I could hear the crunch on the ham and cheese bagette. Oh yum!!!
" For The Love of...." 😀 I love those, Ben!😍haha!
"be still my beating mouth"!! 😂😂🤣🤣brilliant, you two crack me up!
Ben and David, you are the BEST!! And so are your videos. You have made the past two years better for us all, and we appreciate you. Happy, Healthy, Wonderful New Year to you, your families, and all your fans.
Hope you had a wonderful christmas.
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!!
Thank you! Yes, Strasbourg was stunning
@@Cruisewith actually 1 of my favourite lines in this video was: "see Ben, I can do jokes too"
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!
Strasberg is outstanding! We were there in November of 2019 on Viking and loved it! The cafes are great.
Your timing was terrific!
Everytime I see videos like this, I feel proud and happy for Strasbourg being my hometown.
I Always feel like there is a magical atmosphere here at Christmas and with all the architectural and cultural particularities due to the proximity to Germany !
Merry christmas (a bit late) to y'all :D
Your beautiful city was charming, filled with lovely people, and the Gewurtaminer was magnificent. ❤❤
"for the love of Jacques Chirac".....these comments are priceless. . where does Ben come up with these???..so beautiful and a perfect Christmas trip.
Hey guys - myself and my wife have been devouring your videos for many months - we were due to cruise last year for the first time with Celebrity for our 30th Wedding Anniversary (which bit the dust - obvs..) So, so disappointed - but we are booked again for July next year. We were saying last week how brilliant it would be to board our ship to find you two on it, we owe you many cocktails for all the brilliant content we have both enjoyed. THIS cruise however - has us totally sold, it looks absolutely fantastic. Great videos as always chaps - Happy New Year ! (Yeah bit early but whatever...) :D
River cruises are the best. Christmas is the icing on the cake. Looks amazing.
Couldn't agree more!
We were in Strasburg this March and we'd go back in a heartbeat!!
I'm sold on a Avalon Christmas cruise. Delightful to watch you enjoy. Thanks for sharing
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.
Still with you on the trip lads, and we are sat at home, loving every minute,
Thanks john
This cruise is going to be so booked up in the future because of you guys! Phenomenal vlogging!! Cant get enough 💕
Thank you for this. This ends my day. Last thing I watched before I went to sleep. Long day learning to be a trucker in Chicago and needed something light and fun before shutting off the light. Again, thanks.
GORGEOUS footage!!! Omg, I felt like I was right there with you!
Great video. You are sleeping a lot because you are walking around in the COLD all day long. This is totally normal, but being in the cold all day long is pretty exhausting. Also, you should drink extra water because it’s easier to get dehydrated in the cold. Stay healthy guys!
This was fun. Plus, I didn't get cold or eat too much or even spend any money. Yay!!!
I was in Strasbourg 15 years ago for the Christmas markets and it was an amazing experience. Thank you for bringing back the memories! 💕🎄
Happy we could bring back some wonderful memories for you
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..
Amazing bucket list river cruise.
Ben & David, Thank You! You’ve made my day once again! Fabulous video of this amazing trip. A river cruise is now on my bucket list for sure. And David has jokes; loved it! ❤️
Wauw what a beautiful place 😍 love all the decorations. Teddy bears every where
Christmas markets looked stunning 🤩 .
It was. Such a pretty place.
Thank you guys. Lovely trip.
I look forward to my Viking Christmas cruise later this year. Thank you🎉
Merry Christmas, festive Yule, fellows! Much love.
What a beautiful place. It’s going on my list
That candy Ben ate is called Divinity in the states. America. It is a sweet candy.
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 🙋♀️
Great. That’s what I’m talking about- seeing shops, merch. Thanx
Lol! Have you two ever met a food you didn't like?
Booking my tickets for next year…..Amazing video
“And I’m really into method acting.”😂😂😂 You two are the best. Loved the video.
Thank you so much for taking us along!
Thank you for coming with us!
Go for the head David. You guys are too much!!!!!! I can't. You have me laughing over here. Ben and Davidisms. Love this channel! What type of room are you in? I went on the site but they don't explain the room type. Thank you and post Merry Christmas!!
Ben and Davidisms - so true 😄
Pure magic. Thanks for sharing 🎄
So lovely. Thank you!
I envy envy envy you guys!!!
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
@@Cruisewith Lol! (But I love it - almost like tasting notes "to accompany this video we suggest....") 😄
Hi Ben and David, thanks so much for your video. Loved it!!! A Merry Christmas and a great 2022 to you both.
Thanks for sharing your trip
We have a city close to SanAntonio Texas
Castroville.. settled by Alsatians
Thanks again. Good and safe travels home
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!
Thank you guys for all your great videos, only recently discovered your channel, so lots of videoes to watch 💖💖🍾
WOW! WHAT A CRUISE...THE SIGHTS! Thank you for your excellent coverage ...as usual! *hugs*
Our pleasure!
wonderful to experience this amazing trip with you both, makes me want to do this river cruise
You should!
That was an amazing town there in Germany/France!! Thanks for bringing all this to us!🥰🥰
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much Ben and David. It has been so chaotic with the omicron virus and having to adjust holiday plans again ! I was feeling so down yesterday and then I saw you had a video and it just made my day . I opened some wine, added appetizers and watched this last video and it turned my day around .
So enjoyed your video tonight, and the humor. Thank you so much, bon voyage and all that other stuff
Looks like a great time. Thank you all for sharing. Woof woof from Cali
Really enjoyed the video, it brings back memories. I lived in Germany for 3 years in the 70’s and miss the Christmas time there.
So glad you guys are having the best time. Happy holidays 🎄🎁
Watching this video made me hungry! lol
Looks incredible. Thank you for sharing. Happy Holidays to you both.
Hi Guys, after seeing these river cruise videos, my wife and I booked this cruise in 2022. Thanks so much!
Fromage! ❤
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
Fantastic video...such beautiful buildings and really shows Christmas spirit. You both do so much good with your videos. The enjoyment you share with your viewers brightens my day.
Love your videos, you do an excellent job with the photography and editing! Happy Holidays!!🎄🛳🥂💕
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!
Another great video. Love watching you guys especially when you eat. 💜
I’m so jealous! It’s -30C where I am right now…
-30C... that's about -30F ( no conversion needed - lol).
What an amazing river cruise , Christmas at its best enjoy xx
Happy holidays!
Omgosh! I just adore Ben and his Beauty and the Beast references and singing. So cute!
Magnificent! Thank you.
Thanks for taking us along with you to these beautiful places! Appreciate how you show and tell details. When you describe the food, we can almost taste it. Magnifique!!
Love your episodes and enjoy the travel information. Have you been to the Dutch cheese markets or the plant markets in holland. Amazing and they give you tasters of the different cheese.
You can never go wrong with more treats. Just don't eat them all at one time.
Hi Ben and David. Hope you had an amazing Christmas. Wow. 20,000 to 30,000 steps a day. That’s like a day of walking at an amusement park. Literally just across the river. Omg. The cathedral is stunning. It looks so quaint. Teddy bears everywhere. Christmas shops are the best. Ben. 🤣. For the love of Jack Sharaq. I doubt I spelled that right. Don’t know who that is. Gotta look him up. Omg. My mouth is watering at your reactions of the gingerbread bites. The cakes and pastries in that bakery as you walk by. 😳😩. Glad they were delish. Looked amazing. Those wooden handmade villages are gorgeous. The ham and 🧀 baguette. It looks divine. 🤔. Not sure about the nougat. Too much nuts. Amazing day. Let’s go🤣. Not David with the one liners. Salad in your mouth. 🤣. These first courses are very scant portions. But I guess after bread and 6 courses, you would be satisfied I hope. Surprise dessert? I’m waiting. Oh my. Ben is momentarily speechless with dessert. Glad your meal was a success. Awesome Vlog as usual. Thanks for sharing and see you next video.
I think he was referencing a former president of France, Jacques Chirac.
@@mpb3481 oh my. I knew I was off with the spelling. Thanks so much.
@@mpb3481 Yes!
Hi Ben and David!
Merry Christmas! 🛳🎄🌊
This is absolutely wonderful ❤️
i am so enjoying this trip with you wishing you both a merry xmas and thanks for the fun
Thank you for taking us along on your cruise, you two are brilliant!
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!
What a fantastic cruise at a fantastic time of the year. We are not keen on guided tours so I assume you can bypass that and take off on your own? You have to admit no matter what you think about Europe the architecture in Europe is incredible. I know what you mean about the food especially the sweets in France. When we were in France, we planned our eating based on the desserts. The saving grace of French food is portion size, they are smaller thank God, more room for desserts. Great video. I have to say you guys would be a blast to cruise with.
If this is your first river cruise I will assure you our included excursions on Viking were exceptional. The river cruise experience is geared for the educational and cultural learning so our small groups had excellent local guides. We usually took the walking city tour and then went out on our own, being sure to let your guide know.
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 !
OMG we love your videos and these Christmas market ones… the food! 😂.
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
28:23 Ben's face is so funny!
Ikr! Looks like he couldn't think of anything to say!
Jacques Chirac and Julie Andrews! You kill me Ben. So funny 🤣🤣🤣
So Glad you had a great time. Ben, luv to watch you eat, made my day! Happy New Year to you both!😀
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!
Thank you Ben and David ❤️I am definitely booking this river cruise…..how spectacular your review of Strasbourg! I can’t wait! 😊🎄
Beautiful.
Love how natural your videos are!!❤❤❤
