Friendsgiving has become a popular trend, offering friends the opportunity to celebrate together either in place of or alongside traditional family-focused Thanksgiving gatherings. This month, the United States welcomes Royal Caribbean’s newest ship, Harmony of the Seas, and to mark the occasion the cruise line is staging a specially curated onboard Friendsgiving celebration.
From Nov. 10–12, Royal Caribbean will host an exclusive VIP sailing designed as the ultimate Friendsgiving experience. The ship’s culinary team is preparing customized Friendsgiving menus and themed cocktails, while guests can take on Harmony’s most exciting attractions — including the 10-story Ultimate Abyss slide, surfing on the FlowRider, indoor rock climbing, plus round-the-clock entertainment and a wide variety of dining options.
The weekend will culminate with a private live performance by DNCE, the multi-platinum selling band, who will perform selections from their new album scheduled for release next Friday.
Earlier this month, Royal Caribbean partnered with Thrillist Media Group to give several pairs of friends the chance to win a spot on the Friendsgiving voyage. For those who can’t attend in person, Royal Caribbean and Thrillist will share highlights and behind-the-scenes coverage on their social channels, along with tips and ideas for hosting memorable Friendsgiving celebrations of your own.
