Christmas Cruise Planning for 2023?

How was your Christmas & New Year for 2022? Think you can improve on it in 2023? We know you can!

Here’s some cruising ideas to help you smash it out of the park in 2023….

Christmas in Antarctica:

Humpback whales are arriving, penguins are hatching and seal babies are lining the shores.

Such is Christmas time in Antarctica. Temperatures are starting to warm and the nutrient rich waters off the peninsula are teaming with aquatic life.

Imagine spending Christmas day with a beach full of wildlife as they go about their cycle of life.

This once in a lifetime trip to the farthest reaches of our planet is surely a show-stopper of a Christmas holiday!


Christmas on European Rivers:

There’s no more ‘Christmassy’ place than the waterways of Europe during December. The smell of brandy eggnog and mulled wine fills the air as you wander street stalls bursting with goodies. Nibble on roasted nuts and admire traditional crafts that tell a story of generations upon generations of yule time gifting. There’s delights for young and old along the shores of the Rhine and Danube. Make next Christmas, a European one…


Christmas in Asia:

If you’re idea of Christmas heaven is hi-tech gadget shopping or designer labels overflowing into your suitcase (woops!), then a trip to Asia could be just the ticket.

Discover shopping in multi-level monoliths of consumer delight whilst in Singapore that will count towards your fitness work out. Order hand made suits and finery from Thai tailors in Bangkok. Set a challenge to find the most incredible thing you’ve ever seen in a vending machine in Japan. There’s a myriad of options in Asia to tempt retail therapy junkies next Christmas.


Christmas in Australia:

So you don’t want to go toooo far, but still want to snazz up your Chrissy? Let a ship do the hard work in the kitchen, make your beds and wait on you like the royalty you are instead. December just happens to be the month that many cruise lines deploy their ships to our sun-drenched shores, so finding a Christmas cruise is just so easy.


Christmas in New Zealand:

Fancy a Kiwi encounter on your next Yuletide break? We can’t guarrantee you will see any of the animal kind, but New Zealand has plenty to keep you entertained.

Travel from north to south and everything inbetween on a small ship cruise. Discover Fiordland National Park in all it’s wonders. Wander beaches littered with seals, and try some of the best dishes you’ll ever taste on a trip to New Zealand next Christmas.
