Christmas cruises are becoming increasingly popular and for good reason – what better way is there to celebrate with family than kicking back and relaxing in style! And if you’re not cruising with family, consider an adults-only escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But don’t worry, you won’t miss out on the Christmas spirit while on board – most cruise lines incorporate seasonal activities like onboard caroling, festive meals with holiday favorites and if you’re lucky, Santa will be onboard, enjoying a pre-Christmas break before speeding out to deliver gifts all over the world!
Now to the most important part – what are the most popular destinations to cruise to during the holiday season?

Caribbean Christmas Cruises
Trade in the Christmas trees for palm trees as you escape cold weather and the stress of the season on a cruise in the Caribbean! Let’s be honest, you’d rather have your toes in the sand than the snow and nothing beats sunny and 75 on a Caribbean Christmas!
Christmas cruises in the Caribbean can be especially fun, as some ports have festivals and holiday celebrations for you to enjoy when you’re not filling up on cookies at the onboard buffet. For example, if your holiday cruises spends time in Jamaica, you’ll be thrilled to find Rasta-Claus serenading guests with Christmas classics in upbeat, Reggae-style!
Even if your activities aren’t Christmas-related, the Caribbean is still one of the best places to spend your Christmas season! With activities like snorkeling and scuba diving, sunning on the beach or enjoying the exclusivity of your cruise lines’ private island, you’ll never want to spend Christmas at home again!
If you’re spending Christmas cruising the Caribbean with your family, Royal Caribbean holiday cruises are top-notch, offering themed activities for all ages!

European Christmas Market River Cruises
If you have trouble getting in the holiday spirit in the sand and sun, look no further than Christmas cruises to Europe! For the most immersive, indulgent way to enjoy the holiday season in Europe is on a river cruise to the famed Christmas Markets! Starting in Germany, these festive popup markets have grown in popularity across the world – but nothing beats the original! However, there are holiday markets in plenty of European riverside cities, like the one below in Vienna, Austria!
Most cruise lines exploring Europe’s rivers visit the Christmas Markets during the holiday season, so your choices are endless! The most important thing, though, is that this will be a Christmas you’ll never forget, bundling up and buying gifts for your friends and family from artisans at the markets as the lights twinkle and holiday tunes float through the air as your nose guides you straight to the freshly baked pastries and indulgent hot cocoa.
