MIAMI, Nov. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- November
traditionally signals the beginning of the holidays, with people
across the country feeling a bit more generous and, well, friendly.
A spin-off of America's time-honored Turkey Day, Friendsgiving has
emerged as a growing holiday trend that brings friends together as
a replacement for, or in addition to, more traditional,
family-focused Thanksgiving
festivities. This year, November also marks the U.S. arrival of
Royal Caribbean's newest and most adventurous ship yet, Harmony
of the Seas. To celebrate, Royal Caribbean is bringing together
the Ultimate Friendsgiving party onboard ̶ after all,
what better way to celebrate friendship than on a ship named
Harmony?
A champion of being adventurous and starting new traditions,
Royal Caribbean is taking the holiday to the next level by
transforming an exclusive VIP sailing, Nov.
10-12, into the Ultimate Friendsgiving celebration. In
addition to custom Friendsgiving menus and cocktails, guests can
challenge their friends on Harmony's many thrills, including
sliding down the 10-story Ultimate Abyss, surfing on the Flowrider,
rock climbing, plus non-stop entertainment and dining. The party
will culminate with an exclusive live performance by
multi-platinum-selling band DNCE, fresh off their win for "Best New
Artist" at this year's MTV Video Music Awards. They will be
performing songs from their highly anticipated self-titled debut
album, which will be released on Nov. 18.
Royal Caribbean is giving
several pairs of lucky friends the chance to win their way onboard
to join the festivities in partnership with Thrillist Media Group.
Friends were invited to enter through November 2 at:
events.thrillist.com/royalcaribbeanfriendsgiving.
But that's not the only way to participate. Consumers are
invited to attend the Ultimate Friendsgiving experience by

year.
