Nausicaá celebrates the magic of Christmas in the tropics throughout the month of December!
Escape to the heart of the coral reefs and let yourself be amazed by a vibrant, colorful world.
Activities, workshops, and discoveries await you for a magical, exotic, and unforgettable Christmas to enjoy with your family!
In addition to our activities offered throughout the year!
Dive into a unique immersive and gourmet experience at the heart of the Tropical Escape on December 26, 2025, at 7:00 PM and 7:30 PM.
Start your tropical immersion with a welcome cocktail, then let yourself be guided on a private tour of the lagoon, discovering the richness and diversity of our tropical ecosystems. Along the way, awaken your senses with tastings of exotic and refined bites. A privileged moment in a tropical Christmas atmosphere.
Then, take your seat at the Table d’Ephélia, overlooking the lagoon, to enjoy a bistronomic Christmas meal with live show cooking. Our menus are crafted around carefully selected seafood, approved by the Mr. Goodfish program, for cuisine that is as responsible as it is delicious.
To close the year in style, Nausicaá invites you on Friday, December 26, at 7:00 PM and 8:30 PM to be carried away, in front of the Grand Bay, by The Voice of the Oceans, a musical work inspired by the sea.
Created by Brazilian composer Antonio Santana, this vibrant work blends piano, voice, and chamber music. On stage, you will find four exceptional artists:
For one evening, marine melodies will resonate in front of Nausicaá’s Grand Bay. Because the sea has no voice, this concert gives it one — to remind everyone of the importance of protecting it.
Event by reservation, ticketed at €18 – 50% of the proceeds will be donated to the Nausicaá Endowment Fund to support the restoration of coral reef ecosystems.
What would Christmas be without Santa Claus?
Among the many activities planned to delight visitors during the holiday season, one of the most memorable is undoubtedly Santa Claus’ Dives at Nausicaá.
Straight from the North Pole, Santa Claus himself will make the journey to Boulogne-sur-Mer for underwater encounters.
Every Wednesday until December 24 and on weekends from November 29 to December 21 at 2:00 PM.
Dressed in his special diving suit, Santa will dive into the heart of Europe’s largest aquarium to meet sharks, turtles, rays, and all the other species inhabiting the main tank.
A must-see moment to share the magic of the holidays with the whole family.
On the weekend of November 29 and 30, meet our local artisans and vendors offering a variety of original products on the forecourt of Nausicaá.
