Eliminate Holiday Stress with a Festive Cruise

Selecting the Right Accommodation

When traveling with family or a large group, ensure you choose the right stateroom. This holiday season, treat your family to a suite for extra space. You’ll have plenty of room for Santa, gift openings, and a festive family cocktail party. More space means everyone can celebrate together. Alternatively, consider booking adjoining staterooms. If you’re part of a large group, don’t forget to check for group discounts!

Experiencing Christmas on a Cruise Ship

Celebrating Christmas on a cruise doesn't mean leaving your holiday traditions behind. Every cruise ship is beautifully adorned with festive red and green decorations, sparkling lights, poinsettias, Christmas trees, and perhaps even a palm tree decorated for the season. Bring your own holiday cheer—consider packing a mini artificial Christmas tree, some tinsel for your cabin, or a wreath for your stateroom door. Don’t forget your favorite Christmas movies to enjoy on your laptop, or even a video of a crackling fire.

Christmas Entertainment Aboard a Cruise Ship

It’s not too late to share your Christmas wishes with Santa! Keep an eye out for him as you explore the ship. Kids can enjoy special moments with Santa, sharing their wish lists while posing for a photo before he embarks on his Christmas journey!

If you're longing for a "White Christmas," why not belt out that timeless holiday tune alongside other festive carols at the piano bar? Don’t forget to admire the impressive gingerbread house, lovingly crafted by our onboard chefs, located either in the atrium or a main dining area.

Festive Feast on a Cruise Ship

Say goodbye to the hassle of planning a Christmas dinner, shopping at crowded markets, and cooking for a large crowd. A Christmas cruise means you can indulge in a festive menu featuring delights like Butternut Squash & Pumpkin Soup, Roasted Maryland Turkey, Baked Country Ham, Fruit Cake, Pumpkin Soufflé, and a Milk Chocolate Yule Log without lifting a finger.

Explore a variety of exciting Christmas cruise activities for a truly memorable holiday experience.

Capture a memorable holiday family photo with the ship's photographer. Don your festive Christmas sweaters or coordinating outfits for a snapshot you'll cherish forever.

This year, skip the bulky gifts and consider a Christmas cruise as the ultimate present. Instead, bring along small, meaningful tokens, or shop for memorable souvenirs in the various onboard gift shops, where you might even score some holiday deals. It’s also a nice touch to bring a few small gifts to show appreciation to your stateroom steward, butler, or anyone who made your cruise unforgettable. A little kindness goes a long way.

Ditch the stress at home this year and enjoy the holidays aboard a Christmas cruise. Start new traditions while basking in the sun.
