One of the best aspects of cruise ship life is not just the food, fun, and sun but the idea that theme cruises exist. While family cruises are fun, you haven’t cruised until you’ve boarded a giant cruise ship full of people who share your passion.
Whether music, movies, celebrities, or even a comedy tour, a themed cruise may take over an entire ship or in large numbers. The hope is that themed cruises create a warm and friendly atmosphere where you have plenty to see, do, and enjoy.
15. Magic Moments
This April 2025 cruise, which lasts 19 days and takes you from Long Beach, California, to Miami, Florida, is a magician and illusionist’s dream come true.
14. Soul Train
Over 2,000 Soul Train music fans are expected to attend this November 2025 cruise, which will feature musical performances by Jeffrey Osborne and Earth Wind & Fire.
13. 1970s Rock
Labeled the “greatest feel-good party at sea,” this 1970s-themed cruise will return in 2025 with star-studded acts like Air Supply, Kansas, The Family Stone, and Dire Straits Legacy.
12. High Seas Rally
Billed as “the world’s only biker rally on a cruise ship,” this motorbike-themed cruise will be filled with leather, tattoos, and wild parties as this group sails to destinations you can’t reach by land.
11. Electric Sunsets
Can you imagine sailing with fans of musical groups like B*Witched, The Vengaboys, Go West, and DJ Sash? If so, there’s a November 2025 “Electric Sunset” cruise with plenty of 90s and 2000s music on board.
10. Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns don’t often have much to celebrate on land, so fans of this football will sail in March 2025 alongside former Browns legends.
9. Hallmark Cruise
It’s only right a themed cruise has arrived with cookie decorating, ugly sweater contests, and Christmas karaoke while spending time with your favorite Hallmark stars.
8. Star Trek
Sail from Miami with other Klingons, Romulans, and Federation members who love the Star Trek world as much as yourself.
7. Meow Meow

Those who love Broadway will love the themed experience on an upcoming Norwegian Gem sailing in March 2025, including stars like Shoshana Bean, Alex Brightman, Laura Benanti, and Corey Cott.
5. Golden Girls
One of the most popular shows of all time, Golden Girls remains timeless, so it’s no surprise that a six-night cruise celebrates this excellent television show.
4. Wrestling Rager
If you’re a wrestling fan, specifically wrestling superstar Chris Jericho, this trip on the Norwegian Gem will be packed with All Elite Wrestling superstars who will go head-to-head in matches set up by the pool.
3. Puzzled About Everything
Are you a fan of jigsaw puzzles? If so, there is a themed cruise for everything, as Royal Caribbean and Monica Marlatt offer puzzle-solving tips, tricks, and speed challenges.
