Theme Cruises

By -

Theme cruises give people with a shared interest the opportunity to sail and indulge in their hobby together. Some theme cruises are organized by affinity groups, some by travel agencies, and some by the cruise lines. Some occupy a portion of a cruise ship’s cabins and common spaces during a regular sailing, and others take over an entire ship.

Many theme cruises focus on common popular interests, like music, art, dance, comedy, TV, movies, cooking, or wine. But some cruise themes are a little more unusual, like these:

Goth Enthusiasts. Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas will depart Miami on February 14, 2027, for a week-long cruise called “Vampire: The Masquerade.” It includes four nights of immersive storytelling and live-action role play (LARP) set in the World of Darkness, along with social mixers, tabletop games, and themed gatherings on every night of the cruise.

Clothing Optional. The Norwegian Jewel will depart Miami on February 15, 2027, for the “Big Nude Boat Cruise” – an 11-day, clothing-optional cruise in the Eastern Caribbean. This cruise includes a day on Norwegian Cruise Line’s private island, Great Stirrup Cay, and may have some other clothing-optional onshore activities. Note that casual clothing is required in the dining room and at least some shore excursions.

Jigsaw Puzzles. An eight-night “Jigsaw Puzzle Cruise” on Royal Caribbean’s Anthem of the Seas will sail the South Pacific from Sydney, Australia, departing February 21, 2027. Puzzle lovers will have the chance to meet puzzle artist Aimee Stewart, work on puzzles with new friends they meet onboard, and participate in speed competitions.

Professional Wrestling. Joey Janela of Game Changer Wrestling will launch “Joey Janela’s Boat Bash” on the Norwegian Encore, departing Los Angeles February 28, 2027, for a seven-night sail along the Mexican Riviera. The schedule will include meet-and-greets, photo sessions, special dinners, and lucha libre-themed events with luchador Gringo Loco.

Scrapbooking. Scrapbookers will set sail on Avalon Waterways’ Imagery II from Amsterdam on April 17, 2027, for “Cropping on the River,” a seven-night cruise along the Rhine. The itinerary even includes a one-night, pre-cruise stay in Amsterdam. Once aboard the ship, passengers can crop, paste and create in dedicated scrapbooking workspaces; there will be hands-on workshops, too.

There are many more theme cruises to explore. Anita,  your professional travel advisor, can help you find some that suit your interests. These cruises tend to fill quickly, so make your choice soon.

Late Nights and Overnights in Port

By -
If you love cruising but sometimes wish you could stay longer in port, talk with your professional travel advisor – he or she can help you find cruises with late-night departures, or even overnight stays, in selected ports. A late-night departure means you can spend more time on shore, with less of a rush to get back to the ship. You can enjoy the sunset, relax over a dinner of local cuisine, and even get a taste of the port’s nightlife. An overnight stay might even give you the chance to enjoy a morning stroll or bike ride on shore before departure. To find itineraries with late departures or overnights, look to cruise lines that emphasize on-shore experiences – including, but not limited to, those mentioned here. Azamara Cruises ’ Destination Immersion program includes late departures and overnight stays in a variety of ports. Some itineraries feature double-overnight stays in ports like Seville, Spain ; Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam ; or Hamilton, Bermuda . Azamara also offers special n...

Using Your Future Cruise Credits

By -
If you have future cruise credits (or “FCCs”), you’re not alone – many have been issued since March 2020, when cruise lines began rescheduling cruises due to the COVID-19 pandemic.    So, what’s a future cruise credit? It’s like a credit you receive from a retail store when you have to return something you purchased there. In place of a cash refund, FCCs let you apply the cost of a cruise you can’t take to a future cruise on the same line.     Today, fewer cruises are being rescheduled due to the pandemic, but some lines are still issuing FCCs to passengers who are unable to board a ship when pre-boarding tests come back positive for COVID.     If you have FCCs, carefully check their expiration dates; once they expire, they’re gone fore...
