Catch the Holiday Spirit - On a Cruise!

A December cruise can be a wonderful experience for you and your family! Especially if you’re looking for a change from that “White Christmas!” Trade in  your snow boots for flip flops as you cruise destinations such as Mexico, The Bahamas and the Caribbean. Enjoy twinkling stars, sparkling lights, beautiful holiday decorations and all the festivities of the season. Holiday cruises are packed with lots of onboard activities and the incredible ports of call.  

Here are some of the many reasons to consider a holiday cruise:

Family Time

Typically when families get together during the holidays, it always involves work. Cooking, cleaning, decorating, driving out-of-town family around. But when you’re on a cruise, you actually get to enjoy each other’s company.

Sunshine

If you ask most people if they’d rather shovel snow or go snorkeling, we’re betting most would grab their mask and fins! While your neighbors may be buried under a foot of snow, you can soak up the sun poolside or enjoy a tropical cocktail underneath a palm tree.

Onboard Entertainment

We think holiday entertainment at sea is the best! Watching all your favorite seasonal movies, enjoying Holiday Shows put on by talented dancers and singers are among the shipboard offerings which really do contribute to great family memories!

Holiday Shopping

If you didn’t get all of your holiday shopping before your cruise, no worries! Grab a few bottles of Tequila in Cozumel and bags of coffee from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica for the coffee lovers on your list. The gift ideas are limitless as you visit various ports of call!

Christmas Traditions

You don’t have to miss timeless Christmas traditions while at sea. Non-denominational services are usually offered and you can even sing carols around the tree before Christmas Dinner is served.

Decorations

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the holiday with all your cruise ship is sure to offer. Beautiful wreaths, trees—large and small, will make your holiday festive and bright! And the best thing is you don’t have to take any of it down after the holidays!

Memories

We’re pretty certain that your Holiday cruise will be one of your family’s favorites for years to come. Children and grandchildren will remember the time they built sandcastles on the beach on Christmas Eve, or spent New Year's Day at a Mayan ruin. 

Room Service

What a gift! Holiday breakfast in bed! You can order the perfect cup of coffee or order in pizza while you watch your favorite holiday movie in your stateroom. Room service is the ultimate gift for the mom who does it all!
