What is an arts and entertainment cruise?


As well as exciting and beautiful destinations, an arts and entertainment cruise offers the chance to sit back and relax whilst being whisked away by extravagant West End shows, dance performances, musicians and much, much more.

There are many reasons to book an arts and entertainment cruise. Days at sea can now be the highlight of your holiday allowing you the time and opportunity to relish in the entertainment on board. Today’s cruise ships have impressive multi-levelled theatres to rival the West End, with captivating musicals, engrossing theatre shows, stunning cabaret performances, enchanting magicians and spectacular dance shows to astound and amaze.

Then there’s the on board cinema, showing a mix of new releases and old classics - the perfect place to while away a couple of leisurely hours. What about an educational lecture from an expert speaker? Discover your destination in detail or learn about other engrossing subjects.

If the choice gets too much, you can retreat to the on board spa; an ocean of tranquillity in which you can enjoy rejuvenating treatments that will transform your mind, body and spirit. There’s no such thing as a dull day at sea - every moment will create delicious memories that will linger for a lifetime.


Where can you sail on an arts & entertainment cruise?

On an arts and entertainment cruise, the destinations you sail to will reflect the activities on board. It’ll come as no surprise that Italy is a popular cruise destination for entertainment. The birthplace of opera, Italy is home to a combination of vocal and orchestral music, drama, visual arts and dance and has been inspiring people for many years. The USA’s cities are the most cosmopolitan and exciting on earth and are filled with enthralling entertainment. Catch a Broadway show in New York or discover the birthplace of West Coast rock music, San Francisco.


Which cruise lines offer arts and entertainment cruises?

You’ll find an abundance of entertainment on every one of our cruise line partners ships. Cunard is renowned for its opulence and impressive entertainment, enjoy a theatrical production or dance the night away to some musical classics in the on board nightclub. Enjoy fun for all the family with Princess Cruises, tap your toes to cover bands or get competitive with The Voice of the Ocean. Experience a cruise line like no other with Royal Caribbean International and witness the best of Broadway or try your luck in the casino.
