I really think this is an exceptionally cool way and unique way to spend Christmas Day.
It's been nice to spend time with the kids, especially our oldest who's been at university.
But it's been good.

We spent Christmas Day “stuck” on a European river cruise ship… was this a huge mistake or the best decision ever? 🎄🚢 In this vlog we take you through exactly what it’s like cruising at Christmas on a river cruise – from Christmas Day food and entertainment to what actually happens when everything on shore is closed. If you’ve ever wondered whether a Christmas cruise is worth it, this is for you. We’re sailing on VIVA Tiara on a European Christmas market itinerary, and today is the big one: December 25th. No festive markets, no malls, no family gatherings… just us, the ship, the crew and a tiny Christmas tree. Come with us as we show you the good, the awkward, and the honest realities of spending Christmas Day on a cruise ship. If you’re researching a Christmas market cruise, wondering “Should I book a Christmas cruise?” or you’re just curious what happens when you spend the holidays on a ship instead of at home, this video should give you a real-world look at the experience. This Christmas Day vlog is part of our full VIVA Tiara European river cruise series – including our first impressions, German ports, and Strasbourg: the Capital of Christmas.
