Hallmark Channel Announces Star-Studded Lineup for 2026 Christmas Cruise

Hallmark Experiences has unveiled the complete roster of 18 talent members who will board the network's Christmas cruise later this year. Jonathan Bennett and Nikki DeLoach will reprise their roles as co-hosts for the festive voyage.

The cruise sets sail from Miami, Florida on October 23, bound for Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas, and returns on October 27.

Joining Bennett and DeLoach are Andrew Walker, Ashley Williams, B.J. Britt, Benjamin Ayres, Daniel Lissing, Emilie Ullerup, Erin Cahill, Heather Hemmens, Kimberley Sustad, Paul Campbell, Rachel Boston, Sarah Drew, Taylor Cole, Wes Brown, and Will Kemp.

The 2026 voyage will mark a debut for two cast members. Daniel Lissing and Emilie Ullerup are experiencing the Hallmark Christmas Cruise for the first time, while the remaining participants have previously sailed with the network.

Past cruises have featured an array of onboard entertainment and activities designed for devoted Hallmark fans. Holiday musical performances, exclusive film screenings, an ugly Christmas sweater competition, interactive game shows, Broadway-inspired entertainment, and talent panels have all been part of the experience.

Cabins for the 2026 cruise are now available in limited quantities.
