Themed cruises are cruise vacations that focus on a specific customer, a specific theme like a type of music, or a skill such as gourmet cooking or painting. Essentially theme cruises allow passengers with similar tastes to enjoy a relatively all-inclusive vacation that tailors specifically to their interests. Since they are focused on a particular interest or hobby, people with similar tastes can come together for a great cruise and spend several days developing new friendships that may conceivably last a lifetime.

To learn about the different types of theme cruises, from family themed vacations to adults-only themes, keep reading for great tips on how to find the best theme cruise ship for you.

Theme Cruises for Families

Theme cruises for families are typically centered on a focus that appeals to children. Popular themes include pirates, undersea adventure or famous animated characters.

For example, Disney Cruise Lines offers a number of ships and sailings that are designed for the whole family. Much like a trip to Disney World or Disneyland, kids are greeted by their favorite characters, can go see a full, live-action performance and can indulge in activities that focus on their cherished Disney films and television series. It's like reliving a fantasy world with scores of other children.

Typically, theme cruises for families also offer activities for adults. They're a great opportunity for the whole family to actively enjoy a safe vacation that allows for quality together-time, but also much-needed private relaxation. This way, parents enjoy a break from the intensity of children-driven activities with the opportunity to engage in more adult-level conversation.

Theme Cruises for Couples

Most cruise lines offer specific sailings that are targeted directly toward couples who are looking for a private and romantic getaway or a quiet cruise for a wedding or anniversary.

Most often these romantically-themed cruises include couples' dining tables rather than large, group dining, romantic touches like champagne on arrival and extra room service, spa packages that include treats such as couples' massages and also age restrictions.

Typically, age-restricted cruises only allow unmarried passengers over the age of 25 or married passengers over the age of 21. Check with your individual cruise line's age restriction policies before booking.

Singles' Cruises

Some cruises are targeted specifically toward single travelers. They often include social mixers, activities designed to get passengers interacting with one another and group dining.

Singles' cruises can be a great way to meet new people. In fact, it is not uncommon for new long-term relationship to have begun on a cruise trip designed for singles.

Skill Cruises

In addition to the above cruises, many lines offer cruises that are geared specifically toward painters, golfers, athletes, aspiring chefs, wine lovers, bicyclists, runners and many more. Typically, these cruises provide classes, workshops and shore excursions that appeal directly to those interests. If there is a specific interest, you can likely find a cruise that caters to it.

If you have the inclination to take a cruise and prefer general commonality among the passengers, a themed cruise adventure might be right up your alley!
