25 December 2025My family has been doing the Christmas cruise for many years now and have always enjoyed it. The atmosphere is always festive, the staff are friendly and efficient, the food is always great and there is a good selection of drinks to choose from. The new band that played this year had people up and dancing. Highly recommend this cruise.
