Embark Together, Explore Together, Return Closer
At America’s Best Cruises, we believe a cruise should be more than just a trip from port to port— it should be an adventure that speaks to you. That’s why theme cruises are growing so quickly. They take everything you already love about cruising—sunsets at sea, exotic destinations, time with your favorite people—and add in your passions, hobbies, and interests.
Imagine sailing with fellow foodies, music lovers, history buffs, or wellness seekers. Every day on board is designed for connection, learning, and fun, and every night feels like a celebration of the things you love most.
What Exactly is a Theme Cruise?
A theme cruise is a voyage centered around a specific interest. Instead of a “one size fits all” trip, the entire experience is tailored to a subject, hobby, or passion:
- Onboard programs and workshops that bring your theme to life
- Shore excursions that align with your interests
- Opportunities to connect with like-minded travelers who “get it”
- Guest experts, celebrities, or specialists who make the experience even more memorable
Theme cruises transform your vacation into something immersive—something uniquely yours.
Why Choose a Theme Cruise?
- Enhanced Onboard Fun: With special seminars, performances, tastings, and events, every day feels like it was made just for you.
- Built-In Community: Meet people who share your interests—you might leave with new friends who feel like family.
- Expert Access: Learn from chefs, musicians, historians, athletes, or wellness leaders who bring passion and insight to your voyage.
- Perfect for Groups: Whether you’re traveling with friends, colleagues, or family, everyone shares in the same excitement—making group bonding effortless.

How to Choose the Right Theme Cruise
To make sure your experience matches your expectations, consider:
