Santa Experience

Our Santa Experience returns later this year with new hygiene measures and social distancing in place.

Santa and his team have made a few changes this year, to make sure that we can offer you a secure and comfortable visit, without missing out on any of the fun.

Since reopening in July our new hygiene and social distancing measures have seen us attain the Visit Britain “We’re Good to Go” and the AA “COVID Confident” accreditations.

You will join Santa and friends aboard the Captain James Cook, our largest boat, meaning that there will be more space for groups to socially distance, as we will be using both the upper and lower enclosed decks.

Each group will be seated at their own table for up to 6 guests.

There will be transparent screens between all tables.

All touch points will be cleaned regularly, staff will wear appropriate PPE, and hand sanitiser will be available around the vessel.

Social distancing will be in effect during queuing, boarding and disembarking.

Each child will receive an individual colouring and activity pack., along with a personalised, age and gender appropriate gift from Santa.

Each family group will have an opportunity to spend time with Santa in his grotto area on board and a photo opportunity (no charge for photos – please bring your own camera).

There will also be a competition held aboard each cruise with fantastic tourist attraction entry tickets to be won!

Some sailings are already sold out so don’t delay.

Santa and friends look forward to showing you a different view of York this Christmas.
