Why a Holiday Cruise?

Sail away and let the ship do the cooking, cleaning, decorating and entertaining! Escape the typical hustle and bustle of the season.  Allow yourself this time to relax and celebrate with families or friends, or just get away from it all. Give yourself or your family the perfect holiday gift: a winter holiday cruise. Whether enjoying the sun-drenched beaches of Mexico or the Caribbean, your holiday will be unforgettable. Be stunned at the beauty of your cruise ship glistening in a beautiful display of ribbons, wreaths, and sparkling trees.  A Christmas Cruise or New Years Cruise is the perfect way to celebrate the season, and at these great rates you can not afford to stay home!  During the holiday cruises, the ships' atrium and promenade areas are decorated and feature signage with traditional holiday greetings. There are elaborate revues in the main show lounges evoking a "home away from home" atmosphere with sets featuring faux oversized fireplaces, comfortable sofas, Christmas trees with decorations and a visit from Santa. Holiday menus include roast turkey with all the trimmings and freshly baked pecan pie, among other selections. Guests and crew can be found caroling throughout the ships, while holiday-themed movies such as "The Polar Express" are shown on the in-stateroom televisions. New Year's cruises offer the traditional countdown and complimentary noisemakers, party favors and champagne.  What better way to spend your holiday....cruise with your kids, cruise with your family, cruise with your friends this holiday season!
