Christmas …….Home or away?

I’ve always been a home bird at Christmas and New Year till a couple of years ago when I fancied seeing New Year in whilst relaxing in warmer weather , I have to say I loved it and will certainly be doing it again in the future.
Are you plans organised for this year?
There are still spaces on board some sailings to sail away and enjoy Christmas and New Year and let someone else cook the dinner, put up the decs and you just sit back and watch the world sail by.

I already have clients planning and booking for Christmas 2015 .
What do the cruise ships offer whilst on board ?

Decorations

You might think once you arrive on board you’ll see decorations all over the place, well your wrong! On most ships you’ll only come across Christmas decorations in the main public spaces such as the atrium, theatre lounge and other spaces where guests usually congregate.

Christmas Tree

On most ships you’ll find a large Christmas tree in the main atrium or a main public space. The tree can usually be found near the ships main elevators and staircase. Some cruise lines go all out with a large tree with plenty of festive decorations and lights but others will go for a smaller one that looks more like something from your living room.

Shows & Activities

Cruise Lines usually put on very good Christmas shows and activities and these can define your Christmas cruise experience. You’ll get to see a festive music performance by entertainment staff during the cruise. For kids it gets even better because they get the chance to meet Santa Clause himself! If they are good he might even bring along his sack full of gifts. The ships staff will also put on several activities during the voyage to keep the kids happy.

Shopping

No Boxing Day sales …..The shopping on board probably won’t change so don’t expect any huge Christmas sales. The sales on the current voyage are just as important as the previous or next voyage. There might be a last day special but it won’t include any Christmas merchandise unless its something like chocolate or candies made in the ships galley.

Christmas Dinner

Christmas dinner is one of the most important dinners of the year and when it comes to this cruise lines never let us down. With all the great dining option available you CAN expect an amazing Christmas dinner and best of all NO washing up!
