    • Christmas-themed buffets
    • New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day Oceanview Cafe culinary enhancements

    Guests can also enjoy the festive entertainment offerings such as:

    • Crew and officers leading guest carolling in the Grand Plaza/Grand Foyer
    • Tree decorating activity
    • Santa’s grotto and Christmas parade on Christmas Day
    • Orchestra holiday band feature

    The first cruise ship to make its way into the Forbes Travel Guide Star Awards, Celebrity Edge is widely regarded as one of the most innovative cruise ships on earth, offering a remarkable experience that stands apart from anything else at sea. Let me know if you’d like any background information on the features guests of Celebrity Edge can look forward to this season.

    And, we can confirm, Santa does visit cruise ships as well.
