15 Wild Themed Cruises You Didn’t Know Existed, Would You Try Any of These?

Post last updated March 27, 2026

There’s something unforgettable about setting sail, but themed cruises take the experience to an entirely different level. Instead of just relaxing by the pool or enjoying endless buffets, you’re surrounded by people who share your exact interests, whether that’s a favorite band, a hit TV show, or even a niche hobby. The result is a floating community where the entertainment, activities, and even conversations all revolve around what you love most.

From music festivals at sea to immersive pop culture experiences, themed cruises have exploded in popularity in recent years. Some take over entire ships, while others bring together large groups within a sailing, but all of them offer something you simply can’t replicate on land. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to turn your passion into a full-on vacation, these unique cruises might just be the most fun way to travel.

15. Magic Moments

This cruise, which lasts 19 days and takes you from Long Beach, California, to Miami, Florida, is a magician and illusionist’s dream come true.

14. Soul Train

Over 2,000 Soul Train music fans are expected to attend this November cruise, which will feature musical performances by Jeffrey Osborne and Earth Wind & Fire.

13. 1970s Rock

Labeled the “greatest feel-good party at sea,” this 1970s-themed cruise will return with star-studded acts like Air Supply, Kansas, The Family Stone, and Dire Straits Legacy.

12. High Seas Rally

Billed as “the world’s only biker rally on a cruise ship,” this motorbike-themed cruise will be filled with leather, tattoos, and wild parties as this group sails to destinations you can’t reach by land.

11. Electric Sunsets

Can you imagine sailing with fans of musical groups like B*Witched, The Vengaboys, Go West, and DJ Sash? If so, there’s a November “Electric Sunset” cruise with plenty of 90s and 2000s music on board.

10. Cleveland Browns

The Cleveland Browns don’t often have much to celebrate on land, so fans of this football will sail in March alongside former Browns legends.

9. Hallmark Cruise

It’s only right a themed cruise has arrived with cookie decorating, ugly sweater contests, and Christmas karaoke while spending time with your favorite Hallmark stars.

8. Star Trek

Sail from Miami with other Klingons, Romulans, and Federation members who love the Star Trek world as much as yourself.

Those who love Broadway will love the themed experience on a Norwegian Gem including stars like Shoshana Bean, Alex Brightman, Laura Benanti, and Corey Cott.

5. Golden Girls

One of the most popular shows of all time, Golden Girls remains timeless, so it’s no surprise that a six-night cruise celebrates this excellent television show.

4. Wrestling Rager

If you’re a wrestling fan, specifically wrestling superstar Chris Jericho, this trip on the Norwegian Gem will be packed with All Elite Wrestling superstars who will go head-to-head in matches set up by the pool.

3. Puzzled About Everything

Are you a fan of jigsaw puzzles? If so, there is a themed cruise for everything, as Royal Caribbean and Monica Marlatt offer puzzle-solving tips, tricks, and speed challenges.
