The cold British Winter weather puts such a damper on the Christmas and New Year celebrations… but not if you choose to spend the festive season cruising around Portugal, Gibraltar, Madeira, North Africa and the Canary Islands. Experience the pleasure of opening your presents in the sunshine and a stress-free Christmas Day.

To help you celebrate in real style, we have specially arranged a traditional five-course Christmas Lunch with all the trimmings on Christmas Day, and a selection of seasonal entertainment. Then, on New Year's Eve, you can admire Madeira's world famous fireworks display, before toasting the arrival of the New Year on board with a glass of champagne - certainly beats a night in the local pub!

There will also be a dedicated, fully-supervised Kids Club on board, offering a range of festive activities for tots through to teens - not forgetting a seasonal visit from Santa Claus, of course!
