Christmas Cruising with Susan Calman: comedian discovers the festive delights of the Danube river

By Claire Benktander | 21 Dec 2022

The second series of TV programme Christmas Cruising with Susan Calman sees the Scottish comedian explore the festive delights of the river Danube, from Christmas markets and ice skating to carol singing, on an AmaWaterways cruise

Following Susan’s adventure through Norway last year, where she witnessed the Northern Lights, went husky sledding and cruised through icy fjords, the new series sees her embark on a cruise along the famous Danube river to showcase its festive delights.

Discovering everything from Christmas markets and medieval villages to enchanted castles and historic palaces, Susan explores the cities of Prague, Salzburg, Vienna and Budapest in the two episodes.

Set on board AmaWaterways’ double-width AmaMagna, which launched in 2019 , it is the first time a river cruise has been featured in the series.

Susan Calman’s Danube cruise

“This is lovely and Christmassy,” said Susan as she boarded the 200-passenger ship, greeted by crew wearing festive Santa hats and decked out with wreaths and festive decorations.

Her stateroom – one of 98 on board the ship, which is larger than most river-cruise vessels – was also given a few festive touches.

“This is incredible, it’s like my own little grotto with twinkly lights – nothing screams Christmas like a twinkly light! It’s like one of those four poster beds you get in a fancy country house, but my curtain is made out of twinkly lights.

“There’s hardly any noise, it’s super gentle, sunlight gleaming off the water. It’s that perfect stately way of travelling.”

Danube’s Christmas markets

The Danube flows through four European capital cities – Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest and Belgrade. In Vienna, enchanting Christmas markets feature among grand buildings like the Schonbrunn Palace, Belvedere Palace and City Hall, with the latter featuring free performances from international choirs.

Visiting the Christmas market in Salzburg, which dates back to the 16th century, Susan said: “I’ve been to a market before, but not one this big.

“I’m always quite wide-eyed when I come to these places. There are Christmas trees absolutely everywhere and it’s just so gorgeous.”

Foodie highlights along the journey include seeing Susan tuck into a traditional cinnamon-dusted ‘chimney cake’ in Prague, gingerbread made to a centuries-old family recipe in Passau, and a steaming mug of spiced fruit-and-rum punch.

In Salzburg, Susan tasted gluhwein and Mozartkugel, also known as ‘Mozart balls’, a local speciality sweet.

Christmas Cruising with Susan Calman Review

Just when you thought it couldn’t get more festive than cruising the Norwegian Fjords in search of the Northern Lights, Christmas Cruising with Susan Calman returns for a Christmas Market cruise on the Danube. 

Last year, Scottish comedian and Strictly contestant Susan Calman replaced Jane McDonald on Channel 5’s Cruising with … sailing from Dover into the Arctic Circle with Hurtigruten Expeditions . This year, she joined AmaWaterways on a week-long river cruise from Germany to Budapest. 

Before boarding the AmaMagna , Susan spent some time in Prague, where she visited the Czech Republic’s famous Christmas market and got into the festive spirit during an overnight stay. With AmaWaterways, you have the option to extend your Christmas river cruise with a pre/post-cruise stay in iconic capitals like Prague and Budapest. 

Then the time came for Susan to board her cruise in Vilshofen. We saw the AmaMagna magnificently lit with Christmas lights, ready to welcome guests onboard for a jolly old time. “This is lovely and Christmassy”, Susan said as she approached the ship. “Santa has his sleigh, and I have the AmaMagna.” 

Twice the width of a standard river ship, the state-of-the-art AmaMagna offers more space, larger staterooms and more facilities than any other river ship in Europe.

For those who want to know what to expect from a river ship this time of year, “It just screams Christmas. The halls have been well and truly decked, and every corner has been bedazzled with some festive finery.” Susan’s room also had a few Christmassy touches. “This is incredible. It’s like my own grotto!” she said as she opened the double doors and saw the twinkly lights dangling over her king-size bed before spotting a plate of homemade Christmas cookies on the side. 

Aside from twinkling Christmas trees and giant nutcrackers, what other festive treats does a Christmas river cruise with AmaWaterways offer? Firstly, you’ll have untold fun celebrating the most wonderful time of the year onboard. There are a whole host of activities for you to enjoy. From Christmas tree decorating competitions to a special visit from the main man himself, there is something for everyone. Sharing your cruise with no more than 160 guests, you’ll soon make friends with everyone, including the ever-so-friendly crew. 

There is so much fun to be had in each destination, too. As Susan says, “The Danube is the Christmas gift that keeps on giving”. From yodelling in the snow in Salzburg to making your own snow globe in Vienna, the birthplace of the popular Christmas ornament, the Magna on the Danube itinerary provides plenty of opportunities to discover how other cultures celebrate the holidays. Take your pick from a wide range of shore excursions, many of which are free, or if you’d prefer to explore at your leisure, you can. You’ll also have the chance to visit a Christmas market in every port – what better place to find the perfect present and festive flavours? 

Christmas market in Vienna

A charming Christmas market in Vienna, Austria.

A Christmas Market cruise is a foodie’s dream. Throughout the series, we saw Susan sample her way through an assortment of festive delicacies, including a cinnamon-dusted ‘chimney cake’ in Prague and gingerbread made by a centuries-old family-run business in Passau. Of course, we can’t forget the iconic moment Susan ordered a box of ‘Mozart balls’ in Salzburg! When in Austria…

'Christmas Cruising with Susan Calman' — where Susan goes

The first episode of Christmas Cruising with Susan Calman sees Susan travel from Dover to the southern Norwegian city of Stavanger. On shore a Yule Viking welcome awaits, followed by a visit to Fargegaten (which translates as Colour Street) where all the houses are painted in different colours, based on a Miami Vice inspired colour scheme! Then, it's off to the port town Ålesund, known for its art nouveau architectural style, before the ship navigates the stunning Lofoten Islands where Susan brews some unique ‘Calman’ beer and enjoys a traditional Norwegian Christmas dinner. As the ship crosses the Arctic Circle, temperatures plummet, and Susan joins her fellow passengers for a reindeer sledding experience.

In the second episode of Christmas Cruising with Susan Calman , Susan goes in search of the legendary Northern Lights and has a go at some husky dog sledding in the snowy northern town of Finnsnes. Then it’s on to beautiful Bergen, which has a stunning Christmas market, and a chance to chop down her very own Christmas tree in an enchanted forest nearby. Finally, her trip concludes with some carol singing in Bergen town square.

How to Watch Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman 2023 Online Free from Anywhere

Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman

Susan Calman's Christmas Cruise 2023 is a new holiday special in which comedian Susan Calman journeys to Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland. Season 3 premiered on Sunday, December 17, 2023 , in the UK on Channel 5 at 9 pm GMT. It can be streamed on Channel 5’s service, My5, and on Sky Go. 

This platform does not work outside the UK due to geo-restrictions. So, you cannot play content on the My5 service if you travel abroad or live in another country . This occurs because the service matches your physical location with your IP address and displays an error notice when it learns you are not in the United Kingdom. However, there is an easy and legal solution.

A VPN app removes the geo-restrictions by making My5 see you as being in Great Britain. As soon as you let the VPN run via a UK server, the VPN changes your IP address to a UK one. This step removes the error message, enabling you to stream Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman from anywhere.

With that said, let's check out when, where, and how to easily watch Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman online from anywhere in the world, why you need a VPN, the title preview, and more.

How to Watch Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman Online With a VPN

It’s easy to watch Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman online on My5 with a VPN connected to a UK server. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

  • Subscribe to a VPN that works with My5 ( we recommend NordVPN ).
  • Download and install the native VPN app for your device or system.
  • Launch and fire up the VPN using a server from the UK list.
  • Access the My5 platform and start streaming.

Why Do You Need a VPN to Watch Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman?

You need a VPN to watch Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman because My5 is a British platform that does not work outside its country of origin , requiring a tool to circumvent geo-blockades.

If you try to play titles on My5 without a VPN from outside the UK, a geo-blocking error message appears on your screen that reads, “ We're sorry, you must be located in the UK to view this content.”

A VPN goes around the geo-blockade by making it seem like you are located where the chosen server is. To get started, launch the VPN app, pick a UK server, and turn it on. This step changes your IP address to a UK one, so you get rid of the geo-related error message and can stream Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman on My5 from anywhere in the world.

NordVPN is one of the best premium VPNs on the market nowadays, and we strongly recommend this tool to unblock My5 and all the live TV and streaming platforms in a few moments.

6,300+ servers in 111 countries. Easily unblock services, Fast and stable connection, No logs, No bandwidth limits, Military-grade encryption, 24/7 live chat support, and 30-day money-back guarantee.

Where to Watch Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman

Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman premieres in the UK on Sunday, December 17, 2023, on Channel 5 at 9 pm GMT via the My5 service. The special can also be streamed on Sky Go .

No release date has been announced for the US, Canada, and Australia yet . 

Here's where to see Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman live stream:

How to Watch Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman in the UK

If you live in the UK, you can watch Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman on Channel 5 on Sunday, December 17, 2023 , at 9 pm GMT and stream the special live and on-demand via the ad-supported My5 service, which is free of charge after you log into your free account.

You can also stream the special via Sky Go , with plans starting at £25 a month.

Channel 5’s streaming platform does not work outside the UK due to geo-restrictions, but you can use a trusted VPN set to a UK server to circumvent the geo-blockade if you travel abroad. 

Can I Watch Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman in the US, Canada, and Australia?

No, you can’t watch Christmas Cruising with Susan Calman in the US, Canada, and Australia, as we don’t have a premiere date for these countries. 

However, you can always turn to a reliable VPN set to a UK server to stream Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman for free on My5 in the US, Canada, Australia, and anywhere else in the world.

Can You Watch Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman for Free?

Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman 2023 Preview

In Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman Season 3, Susan finds herself on planes, trains, ships, and snowmobiles on her mission to get to the home of the big man in Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland.

Starting in Stockholm, Sweden, she boards a ship to Helsinki in Finland before jumping aboard The Santa Claus Express, then taking a snowmobile ride through the Arctic Circle, where she wants to give Father Christmas letters from her niece and nephew.

But first, she must train as an elf at The Elf Academy to become one of Santa’s helpers, help sort the Christmas mail, and meet some special reindeer. 

Final Thoughts

It’s super easy to stream Christmas Cruising With Susan Calman on My5 in the UK. Since this service is geo-restricted, you cannot play its content if you travel away from the UK or live in another country, but a good VPN set to a UK server will bypass the geo-blockade and enable you to stream the show from anywhere.

We recommend NordVPN , an externally-audited no-logs VPN, to enjoy high speeds, stable connections, over 5,800 VPN servers in 60 countries, best-in-class security and privacy features, blocking malicious sites and ads, and more. You can even try NordVPN for 30 days risk-free via the money-back guarantee.
