Thanksgiving Cruises
Whether or not you think Thanksgiving tops Christmas as the best holiday, we can all agree on one thing — it’s a win when you don’t have to nail the perfect turkey! On Celebrity Cruises, enjoy all the perks of the holiday without any of the stress. Before the big day, lounge by the indoor, adults-only pool of the Solarium or spend time in the chaos at the kid-friendly outdoor pool. Then on the big day, head to a feast on international waters. After enjoying all the trimmings your tastebuds could desire, spend the evening drinking a cold one and watching your favorite football teams duke it out.
Onboard Holiday Offerings:
- Classic holiday movies available at the Rooftop Garden, Lawn Club, Rooftop Terrace, Celebrity Central TV or on your stateroom TV
- Football games broadcast throughout Thanksgiving Day
Revel in holiday surprises all over the ship.
Hanukkah Cruises
The Jewish Festival of Lights is full of life, laughter and traditional Jewish foods. Celebrate Hanukkah with family and friends aboard Celebrity Cruises, where the menorah will be ceremonially lit each night, and the chef makes traditional favorites like latkes (potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (jelly doughnuts). Celebrity hosts traditional ceremonies, Hanukkah services and fun crafts for the kids.
Onboard Holiday Offerings:
- Rabbi-led daily services during Hannukah, which conclude with the group lighting the next “candle” bulb together on the menorah
- Holiday background music on all ships
It wouldn't be the holidays without a Gingerbread Winter Wonderland Village.
Christmas Cruises
Spend an unforgettable vacation on one of Celebrity’s Christmas cruises, where you’ll enjoy the spirit of the season while sailing to some of the most spectacular destinations around the world. Feast on traditional meals designed by a chef — without worrying about any of the prep or cleanup. Marvel at the festive decorations, like Christmas trees covered in trimmings and tinsel that will make you feel right at home. Sing along with carolers, watch holiday-themed shows at The Theatre and welcome Santa on board as he pays a special visit to all the lucky kids spending Christmas at sea.
Onboard Holiday Offerings:
- Gingerbread Winter Wonderland villages created by the culinary team
- Santa’s grotto and Christmas parade on Christmas Day
