Aboard Oasis of the Seas on Deck 8, the Oasis Holiday Marketplace is inspired by Europe's Christmas markets. It provides a selection of ornaments, giftable holiday-themed apparel and home décor.

Santa Claus is available for photos with families and invites children to send their letters to him at the North Pole, providing Instagram-worthy moments.

'Retailtainment'

'The Oasis Holiday Marketplace is a terrific example of Starboard's passion for "retailtainment," offering families on board engaging shopping experiences during magical holiday sailings,' said Claudia King-McWilliams, Starboard’s VP operational excellence and innovation.  

The Oasis Holiday Marketplace runs through Jan. 7.
