Christmas and New Year at sea: another way to celebrate

From the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, there are many ways to turn the festive season into a memorable journey. A cruise over Christmas 2026 or the start of 2027 can combine celebration with discovering new places.

MSC Cruises offers programmes of 3 to 12 nights across several regions, from shorter breaks to longer New Year holidays.

Where could you spend Christmas or New Year?

The Mediterranean: cities, culture and gastronomy close to home. The Canaries and Madeira: Atlantic landscapes and milder weather. Northern Europe: winter scenery and illuminated cities. The Caribbean and Antilles: warm weather and blue seas. Longer journeys can also take you to South America, South Africa or Asia.

Christmas and New Year on board

The ship is part of the celebration, with restaurants, entertainment, activities and ports of call. Families can share the journey while enjoying different activities at their own pace. You could welcome 2027 in one place and wake up on New Year’s Day with the sea outside your window.

How to choose the right cruise

Consider the number of nights, departure port, itinerary, cabin, what is included, the ages and preferences of your group, flights to the port and possible nights before or after sailing.

DLN Travel can coordinate the whole journey, including flights, pre- or post-cruise accommodation, transfers and insurance where needed.
