Erin Cahill Invites Fans to ‘Cruise’ Into the Season Finale
Earlier today, Tuesday, July 21, 2026, Cahill took to Instagram to celebrate the upcoming Season 2 finale of “Christmas at Sea,” which features footage from Hallmark’s 2025 Christmas Cruise.
She captioned the post:
“Cruise (tee hee) with us into the season finale of #ChristmasAtSea ! Such wonderful memories and moments and it truly captures being on the @hallmark Christmas Cruise with our incredible @hallmarkchannel family! That means YOU, our beloved fans, as well! Streaming Wed July 22nd exclusively on @hallmarkplus 🚢🎄🩷”
The slideshow included a variety of moments from the cruise, showing Hallmark stars spending time with superfans featured throughout season two. Among the photos were superfan Cheryl Major’s retirement party as she collected stars’ autographs on a special t-shirt, guests participating in games and activities, Steve and Julie Venturelli’s beautiful 38th anniversary vow renewal, and Santa and Mrs. Claus (superfan couple Charlie and Toni Jordan) joining in on the holiday fun onboard the ship.
Let’s be real, that’s exactly what fans have come to expect from the Hallmark Christmas Cruise. While meeting favorite stars is certainly part of the experience, the event has always been about creating memories together. It seems like that’s the feeling Cahill wanted to highlight by calling the fans part of the “Hallmark family.”
The Season 2 finale streams tomorrow (Wednesday, July 22) on Hallmark+.
