An interesting way to go when you are choosing to take a cruise is to look for a theme cruise. Theme cruises offer the vacationer the option of indulging in a favorite hobby or sport, or even offer cruises geared to singles or kids. The themes can range from art or cooking to golf, or even special singles cruises. There are many different theme cruises available and the choices are constantly changing.

The cruiser on a theme cruise will be able to increase their knowledge on the particular theme offered. There are usually celebrity or guest speakers that host seminars on the theme, and even sometimes performances by noted entertainers.

The cruise lines typically hold workshops related to the theme as well. For instance, on a photography themed cruise, seminars would be held to advance the photographers knowledge, and then perhaps a workshop on developing photographs may be offered. A music themed cruise could offer a lecture on the history of the style of music, with special performances by celebrity entertainers.

Other activities aboard the ship also deal with the theme offered. A food and wine themed cruise could offer a wine tasting event. An art themed cruise could hold an art auction, or a cruise theme of a noted author could host a book signing event. [Read more…] about Choosing a Theme Cruise
