    Vacations Virgin Island Catamarans offers crewed, all-inclusive catamaran charters in the Caribbean's US and British Virgin Islands from St Thomas or Tortola.

    Your itinerary is completely flexible as are your activities and the gourmet menu & bar while onboard the yacht. The Virgin Islands are a world-renowned destination for sailing because of the area's many islands and anchorages as well as its stunning beaches and a year round balmy Caribbean climate with gentle breezes and light swells.

    Please see below a range of catamarans available, ordered by the number of guest cabins and the yacht's length.

    For more details including a quote for your group's vacation and individual yacht availability, please complete the or call 1 877 669 2248.

    --> A crewed catamaran offers you the freedom, comfort and service unlike any resort or beachside hotel. With accommodation, meals, drinks, fuel, equipment and water toys included few other vacations offer such an unforgettable experience and value for money.

    With duel hulls and a broad beam, catamarans have large deck areas, forward trampolines, easy access to the water for a multitude of water sports and spacious en suite cabins.

    A catamaran's broad and elegant saloon area is well above water level and offers panoramic views while dining. The covered cockpit offers ample on deck seating for alfresco dining or enjoying a freshly made cocktail.

    While under sail catamarans are swift and smooth. The deck remains horizontal and stable at all times. With duel engines your catamaran can maneuver easily without sails.

    Onboard you will find entertainment such as surround sound, CD / DVD players, a modern, fully equip galley and a range of water sports equipment such as scuba diving gear, snorkeling equipment, tender and water skis, kayaks and a full range of safety and navigation equipment.

    Your Virgin Island catamaran charter is crewed by a professional captain and chef / hostess who will be on hand at all times to assist and provide for you throughout your trip - no reasonable request goes unfulfilled!

    About
    Referred to as the sailing capital of the Caribbean, the Virgin Islands offer the finest and safest catamaran sailing in the world.

    The Virgin Islands enjoy the consistency of the light Caribbean trade winds, clear blue water, white sand beaches, islands close enough for day sailing and sunshine every day of the year!

    Chartering a crewed, all-inclusive catamaran is the best and only way to see all the US & British Virgin Islands and experience everything the Caribbean has to offer. Sail from St Thomas or Tortola.

    Snorkel the endless reefs, scuba dive directly from the yacht with your own personal dive master, water-ski, kayak, sailing and swimming are all on the itinerary in the beautiful British Virgin Islands. There is no better place to watch the sun set with a freshly made cocktail in hand..

    How to
    Virgin Island Catamarans will assist you with the various charter catamarans and crews we have available to determine which yacht complements your needs to perfection.

    Once you have decided to go ahead with the charter the next step is to place a temporary hold on the yacht to guarantee availability. You will receive a charter contract which outlines the standard charter terms and conditions and payment options. Once we confirm your booking, your crew will be in touch to discuss an itinerary for the week..

    What They Say About Us

    We loved our cruise! It was fantastic. Our best vacation ever. All the services provided to us were all well arranged from the moment we stepped off the plane! The driver was there to welcome us and take us to the yacht. The crew also welcomed us and showed us the yacht! The captain was so professional as well as the other crew members of the yacht! The food? Fabulous! We will all remember our Yacht Charter in the BVI, the good time we had and we will recommend your company to our friends!

    This was our first sailing experience in the BVI, with a Crewed Catamaran. We chartered boats before in the Caribbean islands, but this chartering experience was beyond our expectations! The crew of cat Elvira was exceptionally good. All the members worked so hard to please us! They did an excellent work. We already miss them and we hope to come back and sail with them again! The whole organization of our cruise, done by BVI Catamaran Vacations was impeccable and we thank you very much for that!

    The British Virgin Islands… We had the best vacation ever! The weather was so nice, the crew members, the yacht was beautiful! We have chartered other places before, but nothing like the BVI…!!! The service was excellent and we will always have the best memories!

    BVI Catamaran Charter

    The British Virgin Islands has long been known as one of the best catamaran destinations in the world . Why? Because the water is perfectly clear, the sailing conditions are ideal, with protected waters and steady trade winds , and the island vibe is amazing!

    The water in the British Virgin Islands is also very shallow , limiting access for deeper-drafted vessels. – The shallow draft of catamarans is a huge advantage in the BVI!

    Catamarans have evolved significantly and are now   bigger and more luxurious than ever , making them a popular option even in high-end charters.

    With their larger size, superior stability , and luxurious amenities, guests can enjoy more comfort while on their BVI yacht charters. AND they are still the most affordable option!

    A fully crewed catamaran is a great alternative to motor yachts, especially above the 60ft+ range . You can either opt for a BVI sailing vacation with one of the many beautiful sailing catamarans on offer. Or, if you wish for something more like a motor yacht, power catamarans are gaining a lot of popularity.

The image features the text 'BVI Luxury Yacht Charters' overlaid at the bottom, highlighting the excitement and luxury of yacht charters in the British Virgin Islands.

    Where to Start Your BVI Catamaran Charter?

    Most charters start from Tortola , the largest and most populated island in the British Virgin Islands. With distances between anchorages being under 20 NM , you can easily be in Jost Van Dyke, Peter Island, or Virgin Gorda Island before the end of the day.

    You will also find some catamaran charters based in the USVI, but be aware that many catamarans are presented as ‘British Virgin Islands/US Virgin Islands’ , but many don’t have a BVI license “yet” . After signing, you might be surprised that the boat can only do USVI.

    We have on-the-ground experts in the British Virgin Islands who can advise and verify the paperwork of the yachts that are available to cruise in the British Virgin Islands waters.

    Check out Charter Expert Nadja Asmus’ “Top 5 Catamaran Charters with the Right Paperwork to Charter in both USVI & BVI.”

    The Evolution of BVI Catamaran Charters

    The original charter concept in the British Virgin Islands started with Catamarans which were all initially owner-operated.

    But as yacht charters became more popular in the Caribbean and the demand for larger and more luxurious vessels grew, the industry changed.

    In the last 2 decades alone, Catamarans have evolved significantly, growing from around 40 feet in the year 2000 to over 70 feet in the 2020s .

    This increase in size means they now offer more living space and water toys options, making them ideal for large groups on luxury vacations in the BVI.

    cruise bvi on private catamaran

    The Advantage of a Shallow Draft

    A crewed catamaran is the best way to navigate the wealth of islands and anchorages around the British Virgin Islands because of its shallow draft.

    Take advantage of the shallow draft of your vessel to go where motor yachts can’t , like the world-famous Soggy Dollar Bar or the small group of islands known as the Indians (white sand beaches).

    With a catamaran charter, you can anchor really close to the beach and easily swim or paddleboard to the bar.

    Soggy Dollar Bar, Jost Van Dyke

    See More with a Crewed Catamaran Charter

    When it comes to luxury and comfort, a crewed yacht charter is unbeatable. As you cruise over the 50 islands surrounding the stunning Caribbean waters, you’ll experience a level of service and relaxation that a bareboat charter simply cannot match. This is especially true for large groups, where the expertise of a professional crew can make all the difference.

    With a captain at the helm, you’ll explore the best-hidden spots, enjoy secluded coves, and discover diving areas such as The Wreck of the Rhone (stunning coral reefs)- one of the most interesting diving spots in the BVI during your sailing vacation.

    Top Tips for Luxury BVI Catamaran Charter

    • If you plan your next BVI yacht charter with a catamaran, there are direct flights to Beef Island airport or Ferry from St Thomas.
    • Most travelers prefer to fly to St Thomas  and take a water taxi (we assist and help arrange). Why – there is a multitude of reasons starting with the price of flights – which are generally cheaper to USVI including a water taxi and ending with BVI airport having 2.5/5 reviews with most reviewers complaining about lack of AC and immigration procedures (sometimes too relaxed, other times unpleasantly meticulous). Island Time is a feature, not a bug.
    • Start your charter at Nanny Cay Marina on Tortola Island—the central point of any BVI charter. This well-equipped marina has a nice restaurant and the famous beach bar Peg Legs (have a Dark&Stormy) in the British Virgin Islands.
    • A new development of more power catamarans – mainly from Nanny Cay (marina) – offers many new catamarans in the 60+ and 70+ range , like JUSTIFIED HORIZONS and AEOLUS for your Luxury charters in the British Virgin Islands.
    • One of the most successful catamaran charters in the British Virgin Islands right now is OHANA , an 80-foot Sunreef with a fully equipped dive center and professional dive instructors on staff. Catamaran Ohana also has a luxury Villa in one of the best locations in the USVI—talk to one of our brokers for a combined SAIL+STAY with your own private yacht and villa in the Virgin Islands!!
    • Some luxury catamaran charters include a Jacuzzi on the bow or flybridge, but the law forbids Jet Skis in the British Virgin Islands. Instead focus on underwater and wind-driven sports – the British Virgin Islands is a top destination for these sports!
    • Make sure you are not planning your sailing vacation in the BVI during hurricane season , which usually hits in September.

    cruise bvi on private catamaran

    Where to Go on a BVI Catamaran Charter

    Most BVI catamaran charters depart from Nanny Cay , island hopping along Treasure Island, Norman Island, Peter Island, and Cooper Island on their way to Virgin Gorda . Depending on the weather, Anegada is often included. This catamaran charter route will cover the key attractions of the British Virgin Islands.

    When on the way back, return via the Nort side of Tortola , hitting Cane Garden Bay and continuing to Jost Van Dyke – coming back through Sopers Hole .

    If you finish your catamaran charter on Tortola, you can depart at the Hodges Creek marina and catch your flight from Beef I sland Airport .

    If you are approaching from USVI – crossing Jost Van Dyke or Tortola, you must pass customs first. However, the bigger crewed catamarans often move to Exumas for the summer.

    Jost Van Dyke

    Jost Van Dyke , the smallest leeward islands, is a must-see for yacht charters looking to experience some of the best scuba diving in the world .

    The waters around the Jost Van Dyke land are flourishing with marine life- creating an incredible opportunity for snorkeling and other water sports.

    Don’t miss a visit to the Great Harbour Bars of Foxy’s and Ivan’s for a drink, the peaceful energy of Diamond Cay , and the crashing waves of Bubbly Pool .

    Swim from your boat to the famous Soggy Dollar bar for a painkiller. Hang out in the hammock in Hendo’s Hideout, get a roti or seafood, and relax on the beach. Weekends are more party-like, with day trips from USVI filling the beach bars.

    Spring Bay at Virgin Gorda Island

    Virgin Gorda

    Virgin Gorda , the third largest island in the British Virgin Islands, is one of the most iconic of the Caribbean Islands.

    It’s known for its beautiful white sandy beaches, the natural rock formations and rock pools known as The Baths National Park , and world-class luxury resorts and clubs for BVI yacht charters.

    There are also some great hiking trails on Virgin Gorda with sweeping views of the island’s coastline-making it an ideal destination for visitors with  bareboat catamarans .

    After soaking up the sunshine and saltwater activities in Virgin Gorda, consider visiting the Copper Mine National Park . These 19th-century abandoned ruins are found between Copper Mine Bay and Crooks Bay on the island’s southeastern point.

    Anegada Island

    This tiny island is arguably one of the most pristine places in the world, and it makes sense why it has become synonymous with white sand beaches.

    Loblolly Beach , Bay Beach , and Cow Wreck Beach are not to be missed in BVI yacht charters.

    Anegada Sea is also home to the largest barrier coral reef in the Caribbean . You’ll find turtles, nurse sharks, stingrays, and even manta rays!

    The island has a modest road network and little traffic, and it is best discovered on a boat or by hiking.

    Necker Island

    If you’re looking for a getaway as close to paradise as possible, look no further than Necker Island for your British Virgin Islands Yacht Charter.

    Necker Island is one of the world’s most exclusive and expensive destinations . Owned by Sir Richard Branson since 1978, it has been used as a private island for selective guests and celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and David Bowie . And if you’re wondering whether you can enjoy some of this luxury, the answer is yes.

    Guests can enjoy snorkeling and scuba diving in the clear waters surrounding the island or relax on one of the private beaches during their BVI Yacht Charter.

    Norman Island

    Norman Island is another privately owned island, this 600-acre paradise on earth provides sandy coves and an extensive network of caves waiting to be explored. This island is a premium snorkeling destination for all water enthusiasts and BVI yacht charters.

    The history of Norman Island is tied to pirates and legends tell that Norman Island was a place where they hid their treasures. Some say that Treasure Island , the famed novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, is based on the history of Norman Island.

    The island has several bays and dive sites worth getting acquainted with, including Benures Bay and The Bight . You can also partake in an evening of drinking at the legendary floating bar of Willy T .

    Tortola Island

    Tortola is the largest island in the British Virgin Islands. It’s home to some of the best diving and snorkeling in the Caribbean- especially in Cane Garden Bay . Tortola Island also has many historical sites and points of interest.

    Don’t miss a visit to Smuggler’s Cove , a perfect shallow reef ideal for scuba beginners and untouched by civilization.

    To get a taste of authentic Caribbean living from your BVI charter vacation, venture into Torrola’s Road Town .

    A visit to the Callwood Rum Distillery is a must, as is a stroll around the Craft’s Alive Village for souvenir shopping.

    The Indians

    Take your crewed catamaran to the Indians off Norman Island, BVI. Tie up to a public mooring ball and jump in for amazing snorkeling around the Indians (Called Indians as the rocks look like a mohawk). It is shallow on the one side and deeper on the other and has a small swim-through for advanced free divers.

    Night dives are excellent there; residence turtles, sharks, and other fish are active at night.

    8 Experiences That Make A Windstar Cruise Worth The Price

    I n December, I had my first cruise with Windstar. Boarding the Star Legend in St. Maarten, my husband and I set sail on a romantic and adventurous itinerary with a cruise brand known for offering exceptional vacations and a reputation to back that claim. We had a week of sailing through the Caribbean, soaking up the sights in Antigua, the BVI, and St. Bart’s to create memories that will last for a lifetime and really get to know the Windstar brand. As an avid cruiser, this cruise’s price tag was a bit higher than my previous cruises. But, let me tell you how that extra bit more than makes up for it with these eight experiences that make a Windstar cruise worth the price tag.

    Windstar hosted me as a guest to familiarize myself with this brand. As always, opinions and reviews are 100 percent my own and unbiased. 

    1. Smaller Crowds

    It might surprise you that the Windstar yachts only hold about 200–310 passengers. Not only is this a big difference in the mega cruise ships that often make you feel like a herd of cattle going through long buffet lines and waiting to disembark the ship at port, but it allows you to get to know the other cruisers. It also allows the crew to know you — your cruise preferences and your name. While I have met friendly cruise staff on each of the 50+ cruises I’ve taken, this was more like we were all just guests of Windstar, not crew and cruisers.

    I especially think that, in the craziest of times we have faced since 2020, this is one of the most appealing cruise offerings possible. The Windstar team has assumed extra sanitation measures and are held to the highest standard of safety practices. This was apparent from the personalized service of staff members making up our buffet plates to the onboard doctor that was a seamless and pleasant transaction for the guests.

    2. Windstar’s Stylish Yacht & Rooms

    There are no cruise boats or ships with Windstar, only yachts and sailboats. I took the Star Legend , a small, incredibly picturesque yacht. The Legend was small enough to learn my way around in a short time, without wasting precious vacation time. Still, it was big enough to cuddle up for a warm-weather nap, read a good book, have an intimate conversation, or watch as we sailed through the mesmerizing blue waters.

    Speaking only for the Star Legend , this yacht offers all-suite rooms. We even had a full-size closet, perfect for storing suitcases, hanging our clothes, and keeping our main room straight. Features in our stateroom that rated highest were L’Occitane en Provence toiletries, cozy robes, a comfortable couch, a heavenly bed, premium Egyptian cotton sheets, and a fully-stocked mini-fridge.

    3. Lesser-Known Ports Of Call

    I’ve studied cruise itineraries for over 20 years, and the ports of call for large cruise ships rarely change. I was shocked to see the remote destinations that Windstar Cruises travel to. My husband and I took the St. Maarten cruise that went to the British Virgin Islands, and though we had been to Virgin Gorda with others, Tortola and Jost Van Dyke were two places I’ve seldom seen on other itineraries. And we also had the chance to go to Gustavia (St. Bart’s), the island of all things luxury and exuberant.

    If you are jonesing for a one-of-a-kind cruise, I’ll let you know that Windstar Cruises visits Tahiti , Kobe, Bordeaux , and Honfleur , not your typical cruise ports. 

    Pro Tip: Cruise lines can change the itinerary for the passenger’s safety and best experiences. This is common practice, so please roll with the punches should it happen. Often the passengers are unaware of the entire situation unfolding that causes these decisions.

    4. Windstar’s Exceptional Food

    When the general public talks about cruises, they tend to think of huge, overflowing buffets with mediocre food, but lots of it. And that makes many cruisers perfectly happy. I tend to lean toward quality over quantity, so the high-end food choices — many locally sourced — on Windstar Cruises made me a happy girl. Our meals were terrific!

    Indulge in delightful breakfasts with an array of made-to-order eggs, fluffy pancakes, and decadent eggs Benedict. The buffet caters to all tastes, featuring a variety of Indian delights, smoked meats, comforting food favorites, soups, and sandwiches for lunch. With 24-hour room service, unlimited ice cream, and a charming coffee shop serving tempting mini-sandwiches and sweets, your culinary desires will be satisfied.

    I was shocked (mic-drop here) that the main dining room — the basic one for those of you new to the cruise world — is the only cruise line at sea endorsed by and is the Official Cruise Line of the James Beard Foundation . Yes, you read that right. The foundation was created in part to recognize the efforts of those putting America’s culinary skills a cut above the rest, and that is apparent with the chef-inspired dishes on these ships. Windstar Cruises brings people to plates on the high seas that are “180 degrees from ordinary.”

    5. Star Legend’s Specialty Restaurants

    As if the food wasn’t remarkable enough, there are specialty restaurants on a Windstar cruise. The Star Legend had the lovely Spanish restaurant, Cuadro 44, and Candles, a classic steakhouse. Cuadro 44 offers coastal Spanish tapas, wines, and exotic seafood in a vibrant, energetic setting, while Candles is a more romantic restaurant with white table cloths, candlelight, and al fresco dining. 

    Now get this… they are included in your cruise fare. You pay no additional fees to dine in these restaurants that serve high-end items like Ibérico ham, lamb chops, Galician-style octopus, and jumbo prawns.

    Fun Fact: Cuadro 44 only holds 38 passengers, so this small-scale dining experience is highly desirable.

    6. Adventurous Cruise Excursions

    I’ve been told that Windstar caters to a more active group of travelers. The website boasts 2,500 one-of-a-kind tours, and that is mind-boggling. I found many of the Windstar cruise excursions to be on the moderate to strenuous side of the scale, but there was still plenty for others to enjoy, too. From scuba diving to visiting private islands, there was a wide range of activities and experiences.

    Windstar also offers many custom tours, including a carefully-curated excursion for your family and friends, or even a solo trip, to see the sights you wish to visit with an English-speaking guide in a private car or van. These guides are also fully bonded, insured, and licensed.

    Check into the culinary shore excursions onboard Windstar Cruises, as well. These opportunities take cruise passengers to local wineries, breweries, and even hands-on cooking classes to learn from the locals and eat and drink with goods from the region you are visiting.

    7. Ratio Of Cruise Staff To Cruise Guests

    My cruise ship could potentially hold 312 passengers. On this particular sailing, there were only around 158 passengers, which meant running at half capacity for guests. This meant no lines, no packed swimming pools or hot tubs, and nearly 1.25 cruise staff per passenger. 

    I swear, I don’t know how the Windstar staff does it, but they would remember every name, drink (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) choice, favorite things, and where we were from. Often, we didn’t have time to think we needed something before a smiling face showed up with said item in hand. I kept thinking of the Ritz Carlton tagline, “My pleasure Mrs. Pittman.”

    Fun Fact: For even more excellent cruise concierge service, allow Windstar to help you book your air travel, pre and post hotel and tour reservations, and even your itinerary for a fantastic vacation.

    8. A Unique Beach Barbecue Dining Experience

    Something new to my cruising experiences happened on the Windstar Star Legend . It was supposed to be two things, but one got postponed and then canceled due to inclement weather. But, the one that did take place was incredible, and I think you will agree.

    In a port where we had to tender (take small boats) to the shore, Windstar set up a beach barbecue for all of its guests to enjoy for lunch. Virgin Gorda was the perfect setting for the festive tables, steel-drum musicians, paella and bbq meats buffet, and tropical backdrop. The amount of effort that went into shuttling all things necessary (plates, glassware, utensils, food, beverages, linens, etc.) to the shore for us to have a memorable lunch honestly brings tears to my eyes. What a fantastic brand and staff that braves, in our case, extreme waves and weather conditions for a quick dining experience that creates such a heartwarming memory. It was well-appreciated.

    Windstar, if you made that macaroni and cheese because I mentioned it, thank you. They canceled the deck barbecue mentioned above due to the weather, but I heard from repeat passengers that this is one of their favorite Windstar offerings.

    Pro Tip: I like to bring a few cards from home and leave a tip for my favorite cruise staff, along with a personalized message to thank them for enriching my vacation.

If you prefer sunshine and warm temperatures, celebrate the holidays in an exotic locale in the South Pacific Ocean, sailing crystal-clear turquoise waters and relaxing on white sand beaches surrounded by palm trees.

    Whether you prefer to stay close to home or jet off for a bucket list adventure, one of these cruises may just be the perfect gift to celebrate your holidays in style.

    Put your name on the waiting list for November 2024 if you want to set sail on what Hallmark touts as the "jolliest vacation ever." The Hallmark Channel – known for its year-round holiday-themed programming with Christmas in July, Countdown to Christmas and Christmas Fridays – will host the first-ever Hallmark Channel Christmas Cruise sailings in November 2024 from Miami to the Bahamas . Lucky fans of the television channel will travel with their favorite Hallmark stars on one of two four-night cruises on Norwegian Cruise Line 's Norwegian Gem during the 2024 holiday season.

    Highlights of the Hallmark Channel Christmas Cruise include photo opportunities and panels to meet the stars. Attend Christmas craft workshops or tastings with Hallmark's winemaker – the wines have names like Jingle (cabernet sauvignon) and Joy (sauvignon blanc). Guests can also look forward to "carol-oke" singalongs, cookie decorating, an ugly sweater contest and a world premiere viewing of the new Hallmark Channel Christmas movie "Countdown to Christmas."

    AmaWaterways

    AmaWaterways offers more than a dozen itineraries to visit the Christmas markets in 2024 and 2025 along the Rhine, Moselle, Main, Danube and Rhone rivers – and to see the holiday splendor of Europe's grand cities, such as Vienna , Budapest, Amsterdam and Prague. Travelers can stroll through snow-dusted medieval squares and fairytale markets. Enjoy the chalet-inspired stalls, thousands of colorful lights, festive decorations, ice skating rinks, whimsical handmade gifts, Christmas carolers, carousels and more.

    The river cruise line's seven-night Iconic Christmas Markets itinerary sails from Nuremberg, Germany, to Budapest, Hungary , along the Danube. It features a visit to Nuremberg's Christkindlesmarkt – one of the world's oldest and most famous Christmas markets. Sip hot mulled wine or feuerzangenbowle (a red wine and rum punch) and sample savory specialties like Nuremberg bratwurst, flammkuchen (pizza) and kartoffelpuffer (fried potato pancakes). Be sure to save room for sweet delights like schaumkuss (also known as schokokuss), a chocolate-covered marshmallow, or lebkuchen, a traditional spiced cookie.

    While on board the ship, guests can participate in festivities like tree-trimming, cookie decorating, caroling and "Shoes for St. Nick." This European tradition encourages passengers to leave their slippers outside their stateroom door before bed. In the morning, they wake up to slippers filled with tasty treats like children in Europe find on Saint Nicholas Day.

    Celebrity Cruises

After ringing in the new year sailing between the Bay of Islands, New Zealand and Sydney, guests will disembark the ship on Jan. 2, 2025.

    If you'd prefer to travel to the Canary Islands to celebrate Christmas and usher in the new year on the Mediterranean Sea in 2025, then reserve a stateroom or suite for Celebrity Cruises ' Canaries, Morocco & Spain itinerary. The 12-night voyage sails round-trip from Barcelona , embarking a few days before Christmas 2025 on Celebrity Infinity. The festive voyage features eight ports of call, including island of Gibraltar; the Moroccan cities of Casablanca and Tangier; three destinations in the Canary Islands; and Malaga, Spain.

The onboard bars serve up holiday-inspired cocktails along with other seasonal favorites, including spiked apple cider and classic mulled wine. On New Year's Eve, plan to join in the merriment with fellow cruisers during the big countdown bash.

    If you want to cross South Africa off your list of must-visit destinations , consider spending Christmas and New Year's Eve sailing round-trip from Cape Town on Azamara 's 15-night South Africa Intensive Voyage. The 2024 voyage departs Dec. 20 on Azamara Quest and includes stops in Port Elizabeth, home to one of the densest elephant populations in the world, and Richards Bay, which is teeming with exotic wildlife and stunning landscapes. For a once-in-lifetime experience, reserve a spot on the Safari 4X4 Hippo Cruise in the Hluhluwe–iMfolozi Park. This protected park is a white rhino sanctuary, home to South Africa's "big five": lions, elephants, buffalos, rhinos and leopards.

    If the Land Down Under is at the top of your list of places to visit, plan ahead for next year to spend the holidays aboard Azamara Pursuit in 2025. The line's 21-night Australia Intensive Voyage will set sail on Dec. 14, 2025, from Singapore . This extended sailing features 10 ports of call in three countries, with two overnight stays, before travelers disembark in Melbourne, Australia , on Jan. 4, 2026.

    Guests on board the holiday cruises will be treated to Christmas performances, including singalongs and carols performed by the crew. There will be special menus in the restaurants, holiday-themed buffets, religious services and a tree-trimming party. Festive treats like hot chocolate, cookies and snacks are provided throughout the cruise. The New Year's Eve White Night party, where all the guests don their best white attire, will take place throughout the ships and on the pool deck with entertainment, music and light bites.

The line's 11-day cruisetour begins Dec. 9, 2024, and includes three days to see the canal that some consider the "eighth wonder of the world" and visit vibrant Panama City.

    For a life-changing experience and the merriest Christmas of all, spend the holiday with several species of waddling penguins, giant seals and majestic whales while visiting the ice-covered shores of the White Continent. The 10-day round-trip expedition from Puerto Williams, Chile, on Silversea 's Silver Cloud sets sail a week before Christmas in 2024 for the Antarctica Peninsula. Five days of excursions allow travelers on this Antarctica cruise to explore this surreal and magical part of the world. Weather permitting, guests will even take a Zodiac cruise with the expedition team in the South Shetland Islands the day after Christmas.

    If you're planning ahead to 2025, consider a longer adventure where you'd fly the infamous Drake Passage one way from Puerto Williams (saving two days at sea) and land on King George Island in Antarctica. This 15-day expedition aboard Silver Cloud begins on Dec. 21, 2025, and features four days of excursions in Antarctica and three days in the South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands. You'll also spend three days in the Falkland Islands, where you'll have more chances for unforgettable wildlife encounters with black-browed albatrosses, fur seals, Commerson's dolphins, imperial cormorants, and adorable rockhopper and Magellanic penguins.

    Festive touches on the ship include Christmas trees and lights, gingerbread houses, holiday arts and crafts, caroling, religious services, and musical performances by the crew and professional entertainers. Guests will also enjoy a traditional holiday dinner on Christmas Day.
