The Scenic cruise is Dec. 12-19 and starts in Basel. It goes to Strasbourg, Mannheim, Rudesheim, Koblenz, Cologne and ends in Amsterdam. The Crystal cruise is Dec 13-20 and starts in Budapest. It goes to Bratislava, Melk, Linz, Krems and ends in Vienna. The dates are similar and the price difference is only about $200. So if anyone has any suggestions on which trip would be better at that time of year and for a first river cruise they would be very welcomed.

I am looking at two different Christmas Market cruises with two different companies. One is with Crystal traveling from Budapest to Vienna. The other is on Scenic traveling from Basel to Amsterdam. Which would you recommend and why? This would be my first river cruise and would welcome any recommendations.
