One of the big cruise lines sailing from Baltimore offers a cruise over Christmas. Take a cruise south and celebrate the holiday on a warm beach.
A Christmas cruise is a good way to gather your entire family. Everyone can relax and enjoy themselves, because the crew handles all the cooking and clean-up. The ships decorate for the season and offer special activities and parties for passengers.
