On By TimothyIn UncategorizedLeave a comment

Select dates from November 23 – January 8.

Light up the holidays this winter at the Queen Mary’s CHILL as we proudly present Alice in Winterland, an incredible holiday adventure illuminating a holiday inspired re-imagination of the classic Lewis Carroll story in striking colors & equally stunning light fixtures.

Wander through an immersive 14,000-square foot experience that tells the story of Alice in Winterland featuring hand-crafted lanterns made from hundreds of pieces of silky cloth and countless hours of preparation in a beautiful visual celebration of the holiday season. RFID technology make the experience truly interactive as you unlock the wonders of Winterland.

Grab your skates and twirl around the 6,000-square foot outdoor Ice Skating rink that rests alongside the legendary ocean liner or grab a tube and take a glide down the 135-foot Glacier Glide Ice Tubing Luge.

Stroll through the North Pole Village, delight in our Peppermint Parlor aboard the ship and stop by the Queen Mary Village’s post office to send a letter to Santa. The holiday fun is endless: Take a spin on the Swinging Sleigh Ride, the Giant Rocking Horse or play Prancer’s Paintball for holiday thrills.
And a trip to CHILL is not complete without a stop by the Gingerbread House to make your own edible creation, and a visit to Santa and Mrs. Claus at the Claus Cottage.

The Queen Mary will once again be overtaken by a deep freeze for the fourth annual CHILL, opening onNovember 20, 2015. Experience the frozen magic that will bring holiday wonderment and artic temperatures to Southern California.

A holiday extravaganza like no other, CHILL transforms over two million pounds of sparkling ice into larger than life hand carved colorful ice sculptures in a giant Igloo called The Ice Kingdom, located inside the Queen Mary’s Dome, once home to the legendary Spruce Goose. The Ice Kingdom will bring Charles Dickens’ classic tale of A Christmas Carol to life with Ebenezer Scrooge and the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come frozen in glistening ice. Walk-through chilling scenes from the Nutcracker complete with castles and sugar plum fairies. Get lost in the life size candy cane forest and explore the penguin village. Slip down ice slides off of a 30’ high replica of The Queen Mary and enjoy a festive cocktail at the all-new ice bar aboard the ship’s frozen bow. Each ice exhibit is precisely hand sculpted and created by an international team of expert ice carved from Harbin, China and enhanced with LED lighting to create a visually awing experience. The Ice Kingdom is kept at a frosty nine degrees Fahrenheit to preserve the ice. Guests receive parkas to help protect them from the chilling temperatures.
