The magic of Christmas doesn’t diminish as you grow up, but instead evolves into something different. Once upon a time the allure of a new games console or (in hindsight) way too many sweets were the only things on my mind when the clock struck midnight on 24 December. But now, it’s about being with family and taking time to relax, reflect and give to others.

And this year, we’re in the giving mood. We’ve once again partnered with Fred. Olsen Cruise Lines for our special advent calendar competition, giving you the chance to win a sack-full of goodies, like cases of wine, spa treatments and two free cruises.

To take part, simply register online at cruisetradenews.com/register-fred-olsen-adventcalendar/. Once you’ve signed up, you’ll receive a code via email each day, from 1-24 December, which you can use to log on to the website and see if you’ve won one of that day’s prizes. You can also collect your code by opening one of the numbered doors on the front cover of this issue.
