The Holidays are right around the corner. Have you booked your Holiday Vacation?
Did you know that August is 3 months before Thanksgiving and 4 months before Christmas? Have you done your planning for the Holidays? Too early? NO – it is never too early to plan your family holiday getaway. And it isn’t too late – there is still availability on several cruises, in lots of great destinations. What better way to celebrate Christmas this year than on a cruise ship spending time with your crew?! (See what I did there….)
One thing you will never find under your Christmas tree at home is the magic of time spent with loved ones on an amazing vacation. Santa can’t even bring this time to you. You have to create your own magic. It is easy to do: Contact your Travel Advisor – ME – and book your stateroom on one of many Holiday sailings. There is still space available, so do it today!
When I say family fun, I am including everyone. Like Grandma and Grandpa, aunts and uncles, cousins…second cousins – the WHOLE family! Why not? The more the merrier and celebrating the magic of the Holidays is always better when you’re merry and bright!
Christmas falls on a Wednesday this year, which is perfect! You book a 7-day Saturday to Saturday or Sunday to Sunday cruise and you get Christmas Eve AND Christmas Day onboard! The ship will be beautifully decorated with an enormous Christmas tree in the atrium for everyone to see and enjoy. The dining rooms will be gorgeous and festive. You might even spy Santa slipping from cabin to cabin to fill stockings hung on the balconies with care. It is a truly wondrous experience. And the same holds true for the following week for New Years. What better way to ring in 2020! Am I right? Of course I am!

Think of the magic of taking a Disney Cruise! Better than going to Disneyland or Disney World – NO huge lines! Royal Caribbean’s Symphony of the Seas or any of their Oasis Class ships will be truly amazing! And think of the fun you will have on Perfect Day at CocoCay! Norwegian Cruise Line is another great choice for your family gathering time. Be it their Breakaway Class ships or for more intimate fun, their Jewel Class ships – both have The Haven which is PERFECT for families to hang out together! There are many, MANY more cruise lines and cruise options to choose from. Large or small ships, family oriented or adults only for those couples wanting a special Christmas celebration. (Hint, hint….engagements anyone?)
Holiday sailings are equally amazing if your prefer to keep it low key and want to experience some ‘Old World’ Christmas Magic. Any of the many European River itineraries will be fabulous! Small and intimate, delicious culinary experiences like mulled wine, schnitzel, giant pretzels and fairy tale Gingerbread cookies can be found in festive Bavarian cities. What could BE more magical?
No matter what your dream Christmas experience is, and no matter where in the world you want to go to find it, now is the time to book your ocean or river Holiday cruise. The bonus if you book a 14-day cruise starting around the 20th of December? You get to spend Christmas AND New Year’s Eve celebrating the full Holiday experience! AND imagine the parties there will be on New Year’s Eve in anticipation of a new decade! A new beginning, and YOU will be there to join in all the fun along with your loved and cherished family and friends. Or your special someone for an ultra romantic experience. The sky is the limit!
