Theme Cruise

Something that the cruise line creates onboard one of its ships -A Theme cruise - all passengers are entitled to participate. With 2,000-plus passengers on most ships, and pleasure cruises with several port stops, it isn't always practical to turn an entire ship into a themed cruise.

The most common of the so-called "theme cruises," are trips in which a special interest is featured:

• A group arranges to purchase a number of staterooms
• Arrangements are made for special guests and VIPs

• Marketing is done to people who would be interested in this activity. This could range from country music to scrapbooking.

• These groups usually have little impact on the other cruiser onboard although some of the public spaces may be taken over by the group.
