Our collection of cruise deals in December spans 2026, 2027 and 2028, from week‑long Mediterranean getaways and Douro river voyages to exotic itineraries in Tahiti and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Whether you are looking for pre‑Christmas shopping in European cities or want to spend the big day itself at sea, there are December cruise deals to match your plans.
Travellers who prefer to avoid airports can choose a December cruise from UK ports, heading for the Canary Islands, Iberia or a short winter city break, while holiday deals in December that bundle flights and hotel stays open up warmer regions worldwide.
