This wacky cruise ship will be returning to Europe for the holidays to visit Germany!
Food has always been a major part of German culture. Even the well-known German fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel, makes reference to food. Hansel and Gretel, brother and sister, discover a house in the forest made of gingerbread and candies.
Christmas in Germany is celebrated with many delicious dishes, including Christstollen - fruitcake with bits of candied fruits, raisins, walnuts and almonds and spices, sprinkled with confectioners sugar; Pfefferkuchenhaus - a gingerbread house decorated with candies, sweets and sugar icing; Weisswurst - sausages with veal and bacon; Springerle - sweet biscuits; Weihnachtsplätzchen - Christmas cookies; Roasted goose; and of course ... Feuerzangenbowle - a traditional German drink for which a rum-soaked sugarloaf is set on fire and drips into mulled wine!
This is a dessert stop! We will provide Christmas cookies, Stollen, hot chocolate, Feuerzangenbowle, and craft supplies. If you would like to share your favorite Christmas cookies or other snacks, please feel free to bring them.
