These themed sailings have the added twist of parties and entertainment that are based around a particular theme.

The dull-but-necessary small print
All deals are subject to availability and can be withdrawn by the operator without prior notice. The lead-in prices (otherwise known as the 'from' prices) are, unless otherwise stated above, based on two adults sharing the cheapest available cabin on the cheapest available date. Typically the best prices are available at the start of any promotion period so the earlier you book the better choice of sailing dates and cabin availability you should have. Mid-week sail dates are likely to be cheaper than weekend sail dates.
Will you be doing a Sound Cruise again? We thought OMD were amazing on the one we did.
I would be surprised if this didn't return. Themed mini cruises are usually very popular sailings.
Hi, are you doing themed mini cruise for 2022?

I'm sure there will be some in the pipeline but I haven't heard of anything yet.
