Featured Cruise Themes

We constantly update our specialty cruise theme. We showcase selected cruise themes here, along with recently featured ones, in case you missed one of them. Many will appeal to you, but you can only experience one at a time!

Theme cruises come about in two ways. The cruise line itself will sometimes allot certain departures to a special theme — like seeing the tulips in Holland in springtime, or watching humpback whales in the Sea of Cortez. Always check with us to find out when your special interest may be offered on a cruise lines' upcoming programs.

The other way you can plug into your own special interest is to help make it happen yourself. We have organized theme cruises for so many different affinity groups — from family reunions to fine art enthusiasts. Contact one of our Specialty Cruise Advisors to see if we're currently promoting a themed cruise that's right up your alley. Or if you would like to start one yourself — the reward for your efforts is often a free cruise!

Also, you can find out what new cruise theme is coming up by subscribing to our popular newsletter, To the Pier (See the Subscriptions box in the left margin).
