Deck the Hulls

Celebrity Cruises’ festive atmosphere begins right when you step aboard the ship. The Grand Foyer in the center of each vessel is decked out with towering trees, twinkling lights, festive garland, and even impeccably crafted gingerbread houses made by the in-house pastry chefs. Although you’ll be away from home, the holiday spirit will be shining brighter than ever.

Holiday Magic for All Ages

While the decor can be appreciated by everyone—from babies to great-grandparents—Celebrity Cruises works to make sure that there is age-specific holiday fun for all guests as well. Kids and teens will have a blast crafting ornaments, going on festive scavenger hunts, and dancing for hours at themed parties at their respective kids’ clubs, called Camp at Sea. Grown-ups are guaranteed to have their fair share of fun too. Try some holiday mixology at one of the many onboard bars, or treat yourself to a seasonal spa treatment. Head to the onboard casino for holiday poker tournaments, or stay up until midnight for a massive, cascading champagne pour on New Years Eve.

Swap Winter Wonderlands for Island Sunshine

Though snow-white Christmases may be tradition, why not trade your puffer jackets and beanies for warm weather gear instead? With Celebrity Cruises, you and your family can spend the holidays sailing through sunny destinations like Australia and Argentina, the Galápagos and Spain, Singapore and the Bahamas. Golden sand beaches, here we come!

Holiday Dining Reimagined

Everyone knows that food is a huge part of holiday festivities. Thanksgiving brings turkeys with sides of mashed potatoes, stuffing, and cranberry sauce. Christmas is when the sweet treats come out, including Christmas cookies and peppermint bark. And no New Years celebration would be complete without popping a bottle of champagne. Celebrity Cruises knows this full well, and the incredible kitchen staff does everything they can to take holiday dining to the next level. Savor festive, chef-designed dishes with a twist at the included dining rooms, or splurge at one of the specialty restaurants as a treat for the whole family. Even better, you won’t have to worry about any of the prep or cleanup!

Entertainment with a Seasonal Sparkle

As the cherry on top, Celebrity Cruises’ holiday entertainment can’t be beat. Carolers may pop up when you least expect them, singing the most beloved tunes (and you’re welcome to join!). In the Theatre, you’ll never know what kind of holiday-themed shows you’ll get, from Broadway-esque performances to talented musicians. And of course, Santa himself is sure to make an appearance a time or two.
