Themed Cruises

Theme cruises provide the opportunity to enjoy a favourite hobby, learn new skills or just have fun. You can choose from a variety of cruises all tailored to a specific theme including gourmet cuisine, fine wine, arts and crafts, dance and sports. These cruises usually feature special guest speakers, performances by noted entertainers or related shore excursions and the chance to talk to leading figures in a particular field. Theme cruises provide the unique opportunity to sample different activities both on board your ship and ashore. From practicing salsa steps to improving your golf swing, on board a theme cruise you'll find experts are available to give you vital tips.

If you're interested in some of the more novel voyages maybe a two-day 'party cruise' to Bruges is your cup of tea. They tend to sail at the weekend, perfect for that stag or hen party, short family cruise or group cruise, anniversary parties or birthday celebrations. Seasonal theme cruises are particularly popular, enabling you to experience the Christmas markets in Amsterdam and other European highlights such as the Oktoberfest, or simply ringing in the New Year at sea with unforgettable festivities and fireworks.

All the leading cruise lines offer a variety of theme cruises, and offer shore excursions to put into practice what you’ve learnt at sea, from golf cruises taking in the top courses in the Caribbean to scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
