______________________________________

In 2006, I produced “Discover Santa,” the nation’s first modern day Santa Convention, with over 500 Santas and wives attending.   In 2016, over 1,000 Santas and wives celebrated the 10th Anniversary of that first Convention.

With 2026 just around the corner, Santas and Mrs. Claus across America are asking me if I am going to host a 20th Anniversary Convention.    And the answer is Yes!

But instead of a 2026 convention, I am hosting the “World’s Largest Santa Cruise” aboard the luxurious Majestic Princess, February 14 to 22, 2026. This is cruise # 8607, and our Group code is: TN5.

There are no workshops, and no vendor fair, but you will have special activities, guest speakers, seminars, and some memorable events that will never be repeated. The Santa Cruise registration package and all events are exclusive to Santas and Mrs. Claus who register through Laurie at Princess Cruises.

Of course, Princess will still have all of the events and activities normally associated with their cruise.  And we will visit some beautiful Caribbean ports!

For example: The first Exclusive event will occur on our departure night, February 14, All Santa Couples will enjoy a “Starligh and Champagne Wedding Vow Renewal,” ceremony, officiated by the ship’s captain. And there will be many other exclusive activities. 

You can also add the Western Caribbean portion of the cruise for a second week of fun and relaxation.  If you book only this portion, there are no convention events, it’s just cruising, relaxing and fun!   This portion is group code TNZ

PLEASE NOTE: BOOKING THROUGH YOUR OWN AGENT OR OUTSIDE OF OUR GROUP DOES NOT INCLUDE THE REGISTRATION PACKAGE FOR “DISCOVER SANTA 2026” NOR ACCESS TO OR PARTICIPATION IN ANY CONVENTION ACTIVITIES, BENEFITS, FUNCTIONS, ETC.

Submit your pre-cruise request form now.   Laurie Love, our Princess Cruise Coordinator will follow up with you.  or you can call after submitting for form.
