Calling all Hallmark and holiday fans! The network has announced its first Christmas-themed cruise.

Created in partnership with Sixthman, the Hallmark Channel Christmas Cruise (sailing November 5-9, 2024) will allow the channel's many loyal fans to experience the magical world of its beloved holiday films in real life. The cruise will take place on the Norwegian Gem, which will be transformed into a winter wonderland for a voyage from Miami to Nassau, Bahamas.

Passengers can take part in all sorts of seasonal festivities, such as Christmas cookie decorating, ugly sweater contests, Hallmark Channel wine tastings and Christmas caroling. But the highlight for many will undoubtedly be the opportunity to meet their favorite actors from the Hallmark Christmas movies. A yet-to-be-announced list of regular actors from the Christmas movies will be on board for photo ops and behind-the-scenes conversations.
