Santas in Class

While on board, each morning when we are at sea, May 16 & 21, we will have a Special School4Santas.   Included in the school will be a Santa Claus Oath Ceremony and a Graduation ceremony with presentation of personalized diplomas. 
 
There is no additional cost for this school if you book directly with Laurie, our Cruise Coordinator at Princess.  And because you are attending the school you can also claim a tax deduction.   
 

Prior to attending the school all students are invited to watch “The History of Santa Claus,” a special video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/UaTsHXJFtSs  

The 20th Anniversary course book, “Behind the Red Suit, The Business of Santa,” is the official book for this class.  If you have an earlier edition, it will also work.  However, you can order a copy of the 20th Anniversary edition for $40, a $20 discount.
