If you don't have Christmas plans and can get in a car, take a bus or train or still find flights, you can take advantage of last-minute holiday cruise deals. Fares start at under $60 per day, and in some cases represent savings of more than 75% off brochure rates. But act fast because space is limited.
Being on the high seas at Christmastime brings the advantage of camaraderie, festive decorations (including trees and mistletoe), elaborate holiday meals and special shows and activities. Santa will find his way to sea and there will be opportunity to sing along to Christmas carols.
You'll be able to partake in holiday festivities at ports too. For instance, some ships get you to Nassau on Boxing Day, December 26, where you can experience the amazing Junkanoo parade.
