If you have a favorite interest or hobby, there’s probably a cruise for that. Theme cruises that immerse passengers in their favorite things are incredibly popular, and they tend to sell out quickly. Theme cruises celebrate a wide range of interests, including musical genres, crafting, TV shows, motorcycles, sports, LGBTQ+, the ‘80s, food and wine, comedy, cats, poker, and much more.
Part of the fun of
a theme cruise is sailing with people who all have a passion for the same thing,
creating an instant community at sea. Some people even take the same theme
cruise each year.
If a theme cruise
sounds like fun, here’s a quick sample of upcoming sailings:
Avid runners will
board AMA Waterways’ AmaMora for a Run For Fun Cruise, departing October
14 from Basel, Switzerland, for seven nights on the Rhine River. Passengers can
take part in guided runs in the ports of call, which include Strasbourg,
Rudesheim, Lahnstein, and Cologne in Germany, and Amsterdam in The Netherlands.
Musical genres
celebrated on theme cruises range from emo to hip-hop and rap, pop, classical,
country, rock, heavy metal, and more. For example, fans of the blues will sail
on Holland America Line’s Eurodam for the Legendary Rhythm & Blues
Cruise, departing from Fort Lauderdale on October 26. The seven-day cruise
includes more than 120 shows on seven stages, with autograph sessions and theme
nights. The ship will call on the Southern Caribbean islands of Aruba and
Curacao, too.
The Norwegian
Poker Challenge will depart from Miami on October 27 on the Norwegian Jade.
In addition to an onboard tournament, two World Series of Poker professionals will
put on a clinic. This seven-day Caribbean cruise includes calls in Honduras,
Belize, and Mexico.
Lovers of
literature will sail on Cunard Line’s Queen Mary 2 for the Cheltenham
Literature Festival, embarking on November 13 from Southampton, England, for an
eight-day transatlantic voyage to New York. Authors, poets, journalists,
critics, and historians will be on board for book signings, Q&A sessions, and
panel discussions.
Comic-Con: The
Cruise will sail the Caribbean on Royal Caribbean’s Serenade of the Seas,
embarking on February 5, 2025, from Tampa. This four-night cruise will feature
comedy stars, creators, and writers who will perform on stage, and then mingle, dine, and party with the passengers.
