Christmas is often seen as a time for families to get together and enjoy themselves, but if your festive season is more stressful than joyful, why not consider whisking your loved ones away on a cruise? Many ships run special offers at this time of year, so you could find a break costs much less than you might have originally thought. Innumerable seasonal parties, the increasingly cold weather and the stress that comes with cooking a large-scale dinner on the big day all combine to leave many people feeling rather worse for wear during the Christmas period. Instead of slaving over the stove and clashing with hordes of people on last-minute shopping sprees, you could instead be sitting in the sunshine on the deck of a cruise ship heading to some far-flung destination. If the idea appeals, take a look at the Christmas cruises currently on offer. You can escape to sunnier climes such as Turkey, Greece, Italy and Morocco and make the most of various deals that will shave hundreds of pounds off the cost of your holiday. Browsing vacations at this stage, with only weeks to go until Christmas, could see you benefit from great prices on cabins, as cruise lines will often provide discounts to ensure the last remaining rooms are taken up before they set sail. In addition, some firms embrace the festive period as being as the season of giving, and as such run special promotions that could see you qualify for free return flights if you're not travelling directly from the UK, or £200 spending money to use onboard. You could even be treated to a spa package, in which you can receive a Bali massage, facial treatment, foot reflexology and entry to a thermal spa - something you might like to make the most of on Christmas Day after tucking into a dinner prepared for you by the top chefs onboard your ship. And when you want to stretch your legs, venture ashore at locations like Israel or Croatia, where you can experience rich new culture - or explore the medieval destination of Rhodes and step back in time. You could even find yourself at the very spot in which the Christmas story began - Jerusalem - where Jesus was born just five miles away in Bethlehem, and this is surely a location you'd like to make your way round in light of the time of year. There are plenty of reasons to opt for a Christmas cruise; why not book your break today to discover the rest firsthand? Take advantage of the great cruises on offer from MSC Cruises.
