7 Ways A Holiday Cruise Relieves the Season's Stresses

Transform Your Stressful Holiday Experience Into A Time of Relaxation and Family Togetherness

(DETROIT, July 25, 2017) -While the holidays offer the opportunity for fun and frivolity with family and friends, they also present a host of demands, and many people are overwhelmed with a seemingly unending parade of parties, shopping, baking, cleaning and entertaining. In fact, according to a recent survey by Harvard Medical School, "sixty-two percent of respondents described their stress level as 'very or somewhat' elevated during the holidays, while only 10 percent reported no stress during the season".

So often, the spirit of the season is lost in its stresses- but that doesn't have to be the case. Now is the time to break the cycle and start a new, relaxing holiday tradition with a holiday cruise, where you can create lasting, joyful memories of your holiday season.

Here are 7 great reasons to take a holiday cruise:

  1. Relaxation At Its Finest- The holidays are a time to relax and recharge- something made simple on a cruise, where so much of the holiday preparation work is done for you! The food is made, the decorations are hung, activities are planned; the only thing you have to do is enjoy!

  1. No More Slaving in the Kitchen - Food preparation is one of the most exhausting demands of the season, but a top selling point of the cruise lines is the variety and quality of dining choices they offer. And during the holidays, cruise menus are tailored to the season. Fill your plate with delectable turkey, creamy potatoes, and exceptionally decadent deserts and that's just a "taste" a myriad of options. Even better, someone else does the cooking.

  1. Joyeux Noel! - A joyful season is all around! Cruise lines create a festive atmosphere for Thanksgiving and Christmas with special holiday meals, Christmas trees, sparkling lights, garlands and special events. You'll find that many observe Christmas and Hanukkah customs and offer a variety of religious services onboard. Some even bring the season to life with artificial snow!

  1. Baubles, and Trinkets, and Treasures, Oh My! - A holiday cruise is a magical gift unto itself, but it doesn't end there. Find treasures for yourself, and your loved ones, via the one-of-a-kind shopping opportunities onboard and in the foreign ports you visit while sailing.

  1. Goodbye to Cold and Snow on a Warm-Weather Cruise- Winter doldrums are just a memory on a cruise. Leave cold temperatures, snow and slush behind; instead, bask in the sunshine and swim in the waters of the warm Caribbean.

  1. Ho, Ho, Ho! - No need for the young (and young at heart) to miss out their annual visit with Santa, Mrs. Claus, and the elves! Many lines feature these special guests, and the experience is complete with Santa's bag of goodies for the children on board.

  1. Ringing in the New Year - In addition to the decorations and feasts of the season, the cruise lines also create extravagant parties to celebrate New Year's Eve. Plus, sports fans will love the New Year's Day parties, complete with New Year's Day football games.


Leave the packed schedule (and accompanying stress) of the holidays behind this year, and instead, revel in the relaxing environment with your loved ones on a holiday cruise!
