All December long, Royal Caribbean is getting in the holiday spirit with special holiday sailings.  From a tree-lighting ceremony right on deck to an arrival parade with Santa himself. And it all culminates in the biggest New Year’s celebration at sea.

Guests taking one of these sailings can enjoy a number of fun events onboard:

  • Merry Moments
    • Join us for the ultimate Christmas celebration, featuring holiday hangouts, family story time and even a special arrival from the big boss himself during Santa’s Arrival Parade.
  • Decked out Decor
    • We’re decking the halls – and the hulls – for the holidays. You’ll be transported to an onboard winter wonderland as carolers delight with holiday favorites. And a grand tree lighting ceremony will make sprits merry and bright.
  • Festive Fun
    • Celebrate the season with games and parties, including holiday-themed trivia contests, scavenger hunts and even an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party.
  • Christmas carolers and yule tide tunes
  • Story time with Santa’s elves
  • Holiday classics shown poolside and at theaters onboard
  • Holiday arts & crafts at Adventure Ocean youth program
  • Letter writing to Santa at the North Pole
  • DreamWorks characters don their holiday finest
  • New Years Eve events
    • Hottest NYE party at sea
    • Festive hats, confetti and party favors
    • Countdown to Balloon Drop

The 2017 holiday sailings are combinable with the recent WOW Sale that began yesterday.
