Christmas Cruises are the battle of the feasts

If you’re planning a cruise over Christmas, food is likely to be a key feature. So which cruises have the best Xmas grub?

Celebrity Cruises have a fantastic set of Christmas menus as well as the traditional roast turkey and Christmas pudding, they offer a salmon Wellington and some delicious French style puddings, seafood specials and a fantastic poolside ‘countdown’ buffet for New Year.

Crystal Cruises are always all out for Christmas, starting with their huge gingerbread house which is displayed outside the main dining room. Their Christmas menus feature crab, salmon, turkey and plum pudding and their New Year’s menu features lobster and duck, veal and rare mushrooms.

Silversea Cruises also ramp up their already gourmet fare to feature foie gras and truffles, lobster and beef, turkey and caviar as well as Christmas puddings, Yule logs and macaroons.
