From Sweden\u2019s Christmas gnome, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swedishpress.com\/article\/genealogy-swedish-tomte\">Tomte<\/a>, to Sauna-smoked ham in Finland &#8211; the Nordic nations come alive with their own unique festive traditions.

The Maldives have an uncanny knack of banishing stress &#8211; the festive period is no exception. A winter retreat to this paradise is all about outstanding service, impeccable cuisine and spending the day reclined at 45 degrees.

This exclusive trip starts with the charms of Vienna, Melk and Durnstein, before floating down river to the Christmas markets of Budapest. Our luxurious full board tour then heads 20 miles northwest to Esztergom, one of the oldest cities in Hungary.  The cobbled alleyways and quaint cafes of Gothic Bratislava, bring this exclusive trip to an end. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This enchanting eight-day cruise is an idyllic way to savour the festive traditions of Europe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Iceland\"><\/span>Iceland<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.exoticca.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/BLOG-FOTOS-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3161\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The land of fire and ice astounds with its breathtaking mountains, sky blue lagoons, and geysers shooting up into star-laden skies.

Awash with Oriental tradition and truly unique culture, Japan is for those yearning a change of scenery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted that only one percent of the population is Christian. The lack of tradition has allowed the Japanese to meld this celebration with other facets of western culture. For instance, many locals wouldn\u2019t dream of spending Christmas without<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/worklife\/article\/20161216-why-japan-celebrates-christmas-with-kfc\"> a large festive bucket of KFC<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start your adventure in the heart of Buddhist Japan in Kyoto.

Don&#8217;t miss out on a trip to the beautifully preserved Higashiyama District, to immerse yourself in the country&#8217;s imperial past. After, return to the centre to meander through the glowing avenues, or even join the queues at KFC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In spite of not having Christian celebrations on the 25th, thousands flock to the Chion-in temple for the annual O-minugui Shiki (Wiping Ceremony) &#8211; a spectacular musical tribute to the birth of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/religion\/religions\/buddhism\/subdivisions\/pureland_1.shtml\">Pure Land Buddhism<\/a>.
