As they say, the devil’s in the details—let’s dive in. [h2]The Seas Don Their Holiday Best[/h2] The chill in the air is sharp, but the spirit of the season warms even the coldest waters. The seas are dressed for the occasion, with snow falling gently on the decks, twinkling lights in every corner, and cheerful snowmen keeping watch. Trees adorned with ribbons and finery dot the horizons, adding a festive sparkle to your adventures. Whether you’re plundering or celebrating, there’s no mistaking the festive magic in the air.
