Cruisemas with the Cruise Monkeys – 2026 Group Criuse

Cruisemas with the Cruise Monkeys!

WAIT LISTED: This group cruise is now full, but we know things can change before we sail in December 2026, so spaces may become available nearer the time. If you’d like to join us, you can still add your name to our waitlist—please read the information below and complete the form.

By joining the waitlist, you may be contacted at any point before the cruise if a space becomes available. You can, of course, decline the offer at that time if you wish. Please note that joining the waitlist does not guarantee that a space will open up.

We’re inviting you to join us for some festive fun on our third group cruise! You know how much we love Christmas, so we thought this time we’d opt for a 7 night Christmas Markets cruise in the run-up to Christmas 2026! It’s the perfect way to celebrate the season at sea!

To be part of the group and to get access to the perks and events, you need to book through through the form below!

The Ship: Cunard Queen Anne

This time, we’ve chosen Cunard’s newest ship, Queen Anne. Having cruised with Cunard before during December, we know just how beautifully they decorate their ships for the festive season. We’ve cruised on Queen Anne and she is a brilliant choice whether you’re new to Cunard or a returning guest. To learn more about Queen Anne, check our our overnight media event and 7 day fjord cruise videos here.

Dates: 13th to 20th December 2026 (7 nights)

Itinerary:

Get ready to experience the magic of Northern Europe’s traditional Christmas Markets – perfect for picking up those last-minute presents!

What is a Group Cruise?

This will be our third group cruise, so each time we are learning and improving, this one will be the best one yet! We’ll be organising daily activities, these include things like coffee mornings, sail away drinks, group excursions, giveaways and evening socials. Don’t worry — you’re free to dip in and out of events as much or as little as you like. You will also be invited to our private pre cruise Facebook group.

Previous group cruises have brought people together, helped form new friendships, and created unforgettable memories – and we’re expecting this one to be just as special. To keep things personal and fun, spaces will be limited.

Lead Passenger Name
In the unlikely event of an emergency, it is important we know in advance of guests on board needs - even if you are travelling with someone who can support you. Guests who are unable to independently get to their assembly stations (which could be down several flights of stairs as lifts will not be available), due to a disability, health or mental capacity, must be pre-registered for assistance. Assistance levels are determined using the following statements: 1) I require someone to guide and steady me on the stairs (this is 1 to 1 assistance), 2) I am unable to use stairs and/ or I am bringing a wheelchair/ mobility scooter (this is evacuation chair assistance). Evacuation Chair assistance is mandatory for anyone bringing a wheelchair or mobility scooter, even if it's only for occasional or long distance use. Failure to provide and register this information correctly will result in you being denied boarding at your own expense.
