While so many will flock to Times Square and similarly freezing locations to see the ball drop, a growing number of smart travelers are reveling aboard cruise ships.

Here's a look at where some of the cruise lines will be celebrating New Year's.

Quepos, Costa Rica

Windstar Cruises’ 148-passenger motor-sail vessel Wind Spirit will visit the charming port of Quepos, Costa Rica, departing at 6 p.m. for a seagoing New Year’s Eve celebration. Guests will wake up in Golfito after an 8 a.m. arrival.

Roatan, Honduras

Norwegian Cruise Line’s 2,244-passenger Norwegian Dawn will spend Dec. 31 in Roatan, Honduras, departing at 5 p.m., just as the sun begins to set. They’ll get up in Belize City, arriving at 8 a.m. on New Year’s Day.

Princess Cays

Princess Cruises’ 3,080-passenger Ruby Princess will visit the sandy shores of its private Bahamian island, Princess Cays, until 4 p.m. on New Year’s Eve. Then the celebration takes place at sea and the ship will continue cruising the warm waters on Jan. 1.

Galapagos Islands

As you’d expect for a vessel named Silver Galapagos, Silversea’s newest expedition ship will ring in the New Year in Ecuador’s wildlife-rich Galapagos Islands. The 100-suite ship sails in the region year-round.

SeaDream Yacht Club’s 112-guest Sea Dream II is sailing in Asia this winter and will overnight on New Year’s Eve on Patong Beach on the island of Phuket, Thailand.
