Cruise along to the Thorn Christmas market

Back to overview

Sail along and visit the most charming Christmas market in Limburg

On December 8, we will sail from Maasbracht to the white town of Thorn. From the ship, you can walk just 200 meters to the entrance of the Thorn Christmas Market. You will receive your entrance tickets for the market on board.

Highlights of Thorn Christmas Market

The Christmas market features more than 70 stalls and starts at Kasteelhoeve De Grote Hegge (near the docking area), stretching into the historic center of the white town. Enjoy freshly baked waffles and delicious Dutch doughnuts while immersing yourself in the world of Dickens and Scrooge in the streets of Thorn. Additionally, there will be an exciting bird of prey show at 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM at the Kasteelhoeve. Between 12:30 PM and 5:00 PM, visit the magnificent Abbey Church and enjoy several mini concerts. At the Kasteelhoeve, children can take a picture with Santa Claus during a meet and greet. More information about the market can be found on the Thorn Christmas Market website.
