Hard for some of us to believe, but with Advent about to begin, it is not long until Christmas. ย If you plan a cruise for the period over-lapping Christmas you will surely want to attend Mass. ย Depending upon the cruise lineโs itinerary, you may be in port and be able to attend Mass at a local church. ย Be sure to check out your port of call and see what time the ship will arrive and depart. You may not be able to attend a Mass if the ship sails away in the early evening.
In the caseย mostย river cruisesย in Europe you overnight in most cities and, attending Mass in one of the local churches or cathedrals is not only easy but would be a special treat. ย The cruise line should be able to help you arrange transportation to and from the ship.
But for some ocean cruises thatย may be a sea dayย and you wonโt have that opportunity. ย So we recommend youย consider a cruise line that will have a Catholic priest on board. ย Only a couple of lines have a priest on every cruise, but several others have a priest on their Christmas cruises as well.
So check out our page onย which cruise lines will have a priest on board at Christmas.
