Deck the Decks: Holiday Movie Programming

Discover our top ideas below.

As the holidays approach, we're excited to share some creative ways to blend the magic of movies with unforgettable onboard experiences. From Thanksgiving gratitude to New Year's countdowns, we've curated a collection of ideas that will transform your ship into a winter wonderland of entertainment. Get ready to immerse your guests in themed activities, interactive adventures and cozy film screenings that will make this holiday season truly special.

Thanksgiving Gratitude

Set up 'Thankful Stations' around the ship where guests can write notes of gratitude on autumn-colored leaves. Create a collective 'Gratitude Tree' in the main lounge, adorned with these leaves. Cap off the celebration with a screening of “Planes, Trains and Automobiles” or “Free Birds,” serving themed snacks like popcorn in turkey-shaped bags.

Xmas Carol Karaoke

Transform your ship with the sounds of the holidays with 'Christmas Carol Karaoke.' Deck the halls with festive decorations and set up karaoke stations featuring beloved holiday tunes. As the evening winds down, transition to a cozy movie screening of “Elf” or “The Polar Express,” complete with hot cocoa and cookie decorating stations.

Noon Year’s Eve Party

Ensure your littlest guests get to celebrate when the clock strikes 12:00 without the bedtime interruption by throwing a Noon Year’s Eve Party. Ring in the new year early with a screening of a top new release, kid-friendly foods, sparkling apple cider and a dazzling balloon drop.
