Themed Cruises

If you’re looking for fun holiday ideas or a new cruising experience then a themed cruise holiday could be just what you’re looking for. From film themes to music cruises, holidays for sports fans, foodies or dance-floor divas; there is a themed cruise to suit everyone.

With a themed cruise holiday you can meet like minded cruisers, indulge in your favourite interest and learn a thing or two along the way. Many themed cruises feature actors, musicians, experts and more, providing a special sailing that you’re likely to never forget.

If you are tempted by a themed cruise, consider your preferred pace of holiday and the type of themed cruise that would best suit your needs. For example a wine tasting river cruise will likely have a relaxing vibe at a slower pace, whilst a dance or music themed ocean cruise is perfect for those looking for an upbeat atmosphere. Other themed cruises can involve a traditional cruise holiday with add-ons such as world class sporting events or cultural festivals.
