Christmas Cruise 2017

[lmentzer]

Looking for a cruise over Christmas 2017. Did Panama Canal Ocean to Ocean and LA to Hawaii and back previously. Any other recommendations?

Well, there is South America, Caribbean, and Australia/NZ/Asia...but I bet you could figure that out.

I have been on to canary island cruises over Christmas both of which were brilliant! Wearing shorts on Christmas was so strange...

 

I wrote a post about it here which may be of interest: http://cruisingisntjustforoldpeople.co.uk/2016/09/30/cruising-at-christmas/

 

Have a fabulous time wherever you go, I'm super envious!

Every cruise ship on every cruise line is deployed somewhere. You could do round trip Charleston or round trip Cape Town on Crystal. You could do Caribbean, Auckland/South Pacific, or South America/Antarctica on Seabourn. Asia (and other destinations) on Regent. And the list goes on.....

 

Really, you could cruise to any of 7 continents. Where would you like to go?

As others are saying, more info please.

We went for an OV overlooking the bow. We spend one overnight on the shipin Abu Dhabi; another one in Dubai where we will see the NYE fireworks and depart only late at night the following day to disembark in AD. I am particularly looking forward to Muscat and the Indian destinations.

 

If you are not particular about where you go, I would not book any Caribbean Christmas cruises early. Now that the final payment deadline is gone, just look at the many bargains for this Christmas.

Thanks for the replies. Let me narrow it a bit and make it a bit tougher to find just the right cruise. We don't want a 14 hour flight to where we start, ruling out the far east and Australia. Would love to do either cruise, but the really long flights are a killer. Going to cruise England and Ireland middle of next year and lived in Germany for many years, so much of Europe we've seen. South America might be a good possibility. Really kind of prefer someplace warm to get away from the winter cold.
