Cruises-N-More Cruise Specialists Report Uptick in Requests for Festive Atmosphere of Holiday at Sea

ORLANDO, Fla. (July 31, 2012) – The holidays are a time for tradition, and a new one seems to be in the making for many travelers: a holiday cruise. The cruise lines pull out all the stops for these special cruises and they make for a wonderful opportunity to gather families, embrace the season and enjoy a holiday with all the trimmings and not as much work for mom.

The experts at Cruises-N-More provide 7 reasons to consider a holiday at sea:

1. Pure relaxation – Leave the hustle and bustle (and accompanying stress) of the holidays behind; you can truly enjoy the holiday with the relaxed atmosphere of a cruise vacation.

2. No snow – Forget the cold temperatures on a warm weather cruise (imagine those warm Caribbean waters!). The closest you’ll come to freezing temperatures is the ship’s air conditioning.

3. Outstanding food – Cruise menus fit the season, with world-class chefs preparing traditional Thanksgiving and Christmas meals, plus special kosher foods during Hanukkah. The best part: the food is plentiful and someone else does the cooking!

4. Unique gifts – Make the cruise a gift to yourself or your loved ones for the holidays; a cruise vacation will be truly appreciated. You’ll also find unique shopping opportunities onboard the ship and in various ports.

5. A joyful atmosphere – A festive atmosphere abounds and after Thanksgiving some cruise lines spend in excess of $100,000 on holiday decorations. Christmas trees, Hanukkah customs, lights, garlands and even artificial snow bring the festive season alive.

6. Special guests – Many lines have special guests like Mr. and Mrs. Claus and the elves appear in the spirit of fun and relaxation leading up to Christmas Day. As expected, Santa's bag of goodies is full for the kids on board.

7. New Year's celebration – Elaborate parties take place at sea for people of all ages and tastes over New Year’s. Unique food, entertainment, toasts, party favors and more make ringing in the New Year Memorable, and sports fans will love all-day tailgate parties to watch New Year's Day football.
