Festive Overnight Onboard Ambience

Step aboard and you’ll find the ship transformed with soft golden lights, graceful seasonal décor and an atmosphere that blends maritime luxury with just the right amount of sparkle.

From beautifully prepared five-course festive feasts to West End–style Christmas shows and warm, attentive service, every detail has been shaped to make your celebration - whether a gathering with friends, a romantic evening for two or a corporate Christmas party - feel effortless and unforgettable.

 

Make your celebration last longer with our complete Overnight Festive Experience. There’s no need to worry about taxis or cutting the night short - simply retire to your comfortable cabin once the festivities draw to a close.

 

After enjoying your five-course dinner and show, the ship is yours to explore. Enjoy a nightcap in one of the stylish lounges, dance the night away to live music or simply relax in the comfort of your cabin.

 

The next morning, wake refreshed and enjoy a full breakfast before you disembark. It’s the most effortless, indulgent way to extend the magic of your festive event.
