Hallmark Christmas Cruisers will deck the halls alongside their favorite Hallmark stars with exciting "sail-ebrations" where stars will kick off the festivities and light up the pool deck, exclusive photo-ops, lively panel discussions, holiday cocktail tastings, and interactive, lighthearted competitions like "Festive Feud" and "A Very Merry Christmas Match". What's more, some of Hallmark's renowned artists and writers will share their unique talents and creative magic through hands-on workshops, storytelling sessions, and creative demos.

Each evening of the Hallmark Christmas Cruise will offer a new way to embrace the spirit of the season in style, with Silent Night Disco and themes to embrace their cozy and chic Hallmark lifestyle, like comfy pajamas, sparkling holiday attire, and classic Christmas sweaters. From Christmas crafts and cookie decorating to "carol-oke" singalongs, trivia contests, and so much more, every activity aboard the Hallmark Christmas Cruise 2026 is sure to spark joy and provide memories that will last a lifetime alongside family, friends, and a growing on-board community of Hallmark fans.

Hallmark Christmas Cruisers will have the opportunity to enjoy all the awe-inspiring amenities available aboard the luxurious Norwegian Joy, including tasty dining options, the Pool Deck (with multiple hot tubs), fully stocked bars at (almost) every corner, the Joy Casino, Mandara Spa, Body Waves Fitness Center, Sports Court, and much more.

Beyond the onboard experience, guests will have the chance to enjoy a shore excursion to Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, an idyllic private island paradise known for its white sand beaches and clear blue waters. Please note: Shore excursions will not be available until 4-6 weeks prior to sailing. Cruisers will be able to book an excursion upon receipt of their official booking number.
