Christmas is a very special time of year. But with tight family visiting schedules, hours spent cooking and worrying about forgetting someone on your Christmas list, there’s no doubt it can also be a stressful time. If you are wanting something completely different this year, a cruise might just be in order. Why not spend this Christmas with everything taken care of so all you have to do is enjoy spending time with your family?

EXPERIENCE FIJI BY TAKING A CRUISE OF THE YASAWA ISLANDS FOR 7 NIGHTS

Imagine this: stunning beaches, loads of fun activities plus Christmas lunch with all the trimmings, made just how you like it. That’s what a Christmas cruise to the Yasawa Islands is all about. Leave behind all of the added stress of Christmas and enjoy the most important bits, like spending time with those closest to you and enjoying delicious food!

A cruise to the Yasawa Islands will include not only a great Christmas Day lunch, but it will also include guided island, village and school tours, and there is a snorkeling and glass bottom boat tour available. A Fijian cruise would not be complete without a tropical island lovo feast either!

SO MUCH ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE KIDS

Kids often get bored during the school holidays, and it can often feel like you are constantly looking for things to keep them occupied. A cruise holiday means endless activities for them to enjoy, and so much to talk about with their friends when they do go back to school. There’s nothing like a family cruise to an exotic place to create important family memories with your children.

Not only do Christmas cruises have so many activities for kids to enjoy, but there’s also child-minding during meal times, so kids can be kids and enjoy spending time with other children, while you relax and enjoy your meal.

SHOULD I CRUISE DURING CHRISTMAS?

Here is a quick list of advantages and disadvantages for cruising during the Christmas period.

IMPORTANT TIPS FOR CRUISING AT CHRISTMAS TIME

  • If you are taking a cruise at Christmas time, make sure that you bring your gifts but wrap them on board the ship, because the airport security might want to look through your luggage and they’ll ruin all of your hard work.
  • Also, if you are thinking about taking public transport to the airport make sure that the regular services are running. Often around Christmas time service times vary or change completely.
  • Most of all, have a wonderful time and enjoy making special Christmas memories with your family!
