Norwegian Gem Chartered for Hallmark Channel Christmas Cruise

Norwegian Cruise Line and the Hallmark Channel are teaming up to bring the magic of Hallmark Channel’s Christmas movies to the high seas. 

The Hallmark Channel has announced they are chartering the Norwegian Gem to offer a 2024 Christmas Cruise during their annual Countdown to Christmas. The cruise will be a 4-day cruise from Miami to the Bahamas November 5-9, 2024. 

While onboard Norwegian Gem, guests can enjoy:

  • Photo ops with their favorite Hallmark Channel Christmas stars. While the exact stars are not known, guests will have the opportunity to meet some of their favorite Hallmark Channel Christmas stars and snap a selfie or request a professional photo. 
  • World Premiere Screening of a Hallmark Channel Christmas Movie. Guests will want their popcorn and their favorite glass of Hallmark Channel wine when they sit down in the world-class theater to enjoy the ship-exclusive world premiere of the new Hallmark Channel Countdown to Christmas movie. 
  • Light the Night Sail Away Ceremony & Tree Lighting. Every guest is invited to kick off the festivities on the Pool Deck for an exclusive sail away party that includes a Christmas Tree lighting.  
  • Tastings with Hallmark Channel Wines. Guests can enjoy exclusive curated wines as they learn about the wine-making process from Hallmark Channel winemakers. 
  • Activities with Hallmark Channel Stars. From games to panels, guests will have the opportunity to engage in a variety of activities with the Hallmark Channel stars. 
  • Christmas Carol-oke. If you love karaoke, you will really love Christmas Carol-oke. Just you or your whole party can choose your favorite holiday song and jingle the night away. 
  • Hallmark Channel Movie Marathon. A Hallmark Christmas Channel cruise would not be complete without the famous Hallmark Channel Movie Marathon found in the Spinnaker Lounge. 
  • Christmas Cookie Decorating and Craft Workshops. Guests can create delicious treats or unique souvenirs when they join in on an exclusive workshop. 
  • Ugly Sweater Contest. Of course, no Christmas cruise would be complete without the infamous Ugly Sweater Contest. Bring your favorite tinsel and light laden sweater to join in on the festivities. 

If you prefer white sandy beaches to white flakes of snow, or if you just happen to be a Hallmark Channel Christmas Movie fan, this might be the chartered cruise for you. Merry Christmas in July!
