Sphere Class and Royal Class vessels will feature a Tree Lighting Celebration with full-cast performances, while other ships will offer Festive Tree Lighting events centred on vocal performances.
Additional seasonal activities include “Merry Moments” and “Let it Snow” events on selected ships, with artificial snow in the Piazza and other holiday-themed entertainment. The programme also includes Holly Jolly Sweater Parties, holiday silent discos, candlelight concerts and festive singalongs.
Family-oriented activities include the Festive Family Faire, arts and crafts, and a family night featuring festive clothing and pyjamas. Guests can also take part in gingerbread house-making sessions and Storytime with Stanley.
On Star Princess and Sun Princess, the Piazza Magical Moments programme will combine snowfall with seasonal imagery displayed on the ships’ LED screens. Holiday films will be shown through Movies Under the Stars and in staterooms.
Seasonal dining will include special menus and demonstrations covering turkey carving, holiday cookies, cocktails and hot chocolate. Princess Cruises will also provide religious observances during the holiday period.
