December brings a festive flair to the world of cruising—whether you’re chasing winter sun or leaning into twinkling lights and Christmas markets. It’s a month of contrasts: tropical escapes, cultural celebrations, and storybook scenery. Whether you’re wrapping up the year with warmth or wonder, there’s a cruise to match the mood.
There’s nothing quite like Europe’s rivers in December, where cobbled towns and grand cities come alive with twinkling lights and traditional Christmas markets. Glide along the Rhine or Danube as festive scents of mulled wine, gingerbread, and roasted chestnuts fill the air. It’s a cosy, magical way to experience Europe in all its winter charm.
With sun-soaked days, turquoise seas, and a relaxed tropical rhythm, the Caribbean is an ideal December escape. Picture palm-lined beaches, colourful island towns, and time that moves a little slower – just when you need it most. It’s an effortless way to swap scarves for swimsuits and spend the holidays in the sun.
While much of Europe cools down, the Canaries stay warm and welcoming – offering golden beaches, volcanic landscapes, and laid-back island life. December here is perfect for hiking, sailing, or simply soaking up the sun. It’s a peaceful escape with just the right touch of seasonal sparkle.
Northern Europe embraces the holiday season with style – picture snow-dusted cities, festive decorations, and wintery waterfronts. Visit Copenhagen, Amsterdam, or Hamburg for Christmas markets, ice skating, and Scandinavian cosiness. For those who love the magic of winter, this is a cruise filled with culture, light, and wonder.
