Calling all Hallmark and holiday enthusiasts! The network has announced its first-ever Christmas-themed cruise.
Created in partnership with Sixthman, the Hallmark Channel Christmas Cruise (sailing November 5-9, 2024) will allow the network's many devoted fans to experience the magical world of its beloved holiday movies in real life. The cruise will be hosted on the Norwegian Gem, which will be transformed into a winter wonderland for a voyage from Miami to Nassau, Bahamas.
Passengers can partake in all manner of seasonal festivities, like Christmas cookie decorating, ugly sweater contests, Hallmark Channel wine tastings, and Christmas “carol-oke.” But the highlight for many will no doubt be getting a chance to meet their favorite actors from Hallmark holiday movies. A not-yet-announced roster of holiday movie regulars will be on board for photo-ops and behind-the-scenes panels.
Fans will also have the exclusive opportunity to attend the premiere of a new Hallmark Channel Countdown to Christmas movie on board.
