7 Themed Cruises for 2015 ...

If you’re looking for a vacation with a difference, you might like to consider a themed cruise.

I’ve got a small selection of themed cruises for 2015 to share with you so you get an idea of what’s available.

Solar Eclipse Cruise

This would be top of my list! The Fred. Olsen cruise lines offer an awesome cruise that sails from Southampton, UK, to Norway and the Faroe Islands. One port of call is Alesund, Norway, a visually stunning town full of turrets and gargoyles. In Tromso, you’ll get a chance to view the Northern Lights. In 2015, a total solar eclipse will be visible from only two points on Earth, one being the Faroe Islands - and you’ll be there to see it. (The other being The Azores) With reduced light pollution, you’re likely to get quite a show. The cruise sets sail from Southampton, UK on March 9th, 2015.

Jacques Pépin’s 80th Birthday

On this 10-day Oceania cruise sailing between Lisbon and Rome, you’ll get to travel with Jacques Pepin, star of Fast Food My Way, along with his wife, daughter and granddaughter. Pepin has served as Oceania’s executive culinary director for over 10 years, but this cruise will celebrate this TV host and chef’s 80th birthday. It will feature cooking demonstrations, special menus and book signings. Most people aren’t aware that Pepin is also a painter. He will host an event of his own work in the Artist’s Loft in addition to introducing wonderful food. The ship sails from July 7 to July 17, 2015.

Broadway on the High Seas

Join the Compagnie du Ponant on the high seas with Le Soléal cruises. Playbill Travel has arranged for Tony winners Christine Ebersol and Sutton Foster, Laura Osnes of Rogers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, and Liz Callaway of Cats and Miss Saigon, as well as Musical Director and Radio Host Seth Rudetsky to be on board. Enjoy lectures, trivia contests and sing-a-longs while touring Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. The cruise sets sail November 4th through the 15th, 2015.

New Kids on the Block

Long live boy bands! New Kids on the Block might not be so new any more but they are still going strong and have legions of fans. You can bag yourself some unique photo opportunities and chances to meet the guys as well as enjoy concerts and a beach party if you join the Carnival Cruises’ Carnival Victory boat as it sails from Miami to Turks and Caicos. The cruise date – Oct 8th to 12th 2015.

Honorable mention for the Zen Cruise
Need a little Zen in your life? This is the place to do it. Take the Royal Caribbean International’s Liberty of the Seas from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Jamaica then Haiti, and enjoy a transformation at sea. One of several annual themed cruises, this cruise offers music, meditation, dance, yoga, healing arts and self-guided programs, as well as inspiration, education and entertainment. Be a part of the sacred excursions, sound healing, and private cocktail parties. The cruise occurs just once a year in February. In 2015 it runs from February 9th through 15th so you’ve missed the boat this year (groan) but you can start saving for next year’s cruise.

Any of these sound like fun to you?

I went on NKOTB this past year and was underwelmed.

And the 311 Cruise (also with the Dirty Heads, Pepper, Doug Benson, & many other DJs & bands)....sailing from Miami to Jamaica on 2/24....just 10 days to go....I CANT WAIT!!!! :)

This will be my 7th NKOTB cruise! The guys are great and it's become a little reunion with them and other fans that you've met.
