Hallmark Channel is taking to the high seas. The feel-good network’s first-ever Christmas cruise will set sail next year. The five-day trip will include wine tastings, holiday activities, movie screenings, and photo opportunities with fan-favorite Hallmark actors. 

Hallmark Channel Christmas Cruise set for November 2024

Hallmark’s inaugural holiday cruise is set for November 5-9, 2024. The Norweigan Gem will depart from Miami, with two full days at sea and one day in port in Nassau, Bahamas. 

While the cruise is still over a year away, Hallmarkies can lock in their spot now. Pre-sale signups opened on July 11 and will end on July 19. During this period, would-be cruisers can register for a booking appointment that will give them a chance to reserve their cabin during the pre-sale period. 

The signup deadline for the first round of presales is July 16, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. ET, and the first round of pre-sale booking times begins July 18, 2023. The final pre-sale sign-up deadline is July 19, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. ET, with pre-sale booking times running through July 21, 2023. 

General public sales open on July 21, 2023, at 2 p.m. ET. Prices start at $800 per person. Hallmark created the cruise in partnership with Sixthman, specialists in immersive festivals at sea.
