’Tis the season for maxed-out merrymaking in the Caribbean. Where your favorite holiday traditions become lifelong memories on our newest and boldest ships. Make Wonder of the Seas® and Utopia of the Seas® your weekend home for the holidays or stay all week on Star of the Seas℠ and Icon of the Seas® — all with stops at Perfect Day at CocoCay. The season will be merry and bright with festive decorations around every corner, Christmas tree and menorah lightings and an epic New Year’s Eve Promenade party with a balloon drop. Go ice skating with Santa’s elves, snuggle up for holiday movies on the pool deck, design your own dreidel and write letters to the North Pole. And dig into flavorful Thanksgiving, Hannukah and Christmas feasts that taste just like home. Royal Caribbean® is coming to town — the only cruise line voted Best Overall by Travel Weekly readers for 22 years running.

Pack your appetite — all your favorite flavors of the holiday season are onboard. Savor mouthwatering Thanksgiving staples like oven-roasted turkey and old-fashioned pecan pie. Celebrate Hannukah with a tender brisket alongside honey glazed carrots, crispy potato latkes with sour cream and apple sauce, and pillowy jelly donuts. Plus, a festive feast of Christmas dinner classics, from honey baked ham to homemade sides and decadent desserts. And your little ones won't miss the chance to get on Santa’s good side, with plenty of milk and cookies on hand.

Kids will be too excited to stay nestled all snug in their beds — while the magic of the season is in full swing onboard. Join Santa’s elves at the ice-skating rink for a holly jolly open skate. Snuggle up with the whole fam for holiday movie nights on the pool deck while you sip festive drinks. Little cruisers can get creative at Adventure Ocean® —coloring for Thanksgiving and Hannukah, crafting handprint menorahs and designing dreidels. Plus, yuletide activities like reindeer decorating and Christmas ornament making. Then write to the big man himself at our Santa letter station. But don’t let them forget to leave him milk and cookies!
