Cruise Package – Cruises are for people on a honeymoon and for senior citizens trying to get a little group shuffleboard action, and not for anyone who is actually normal, are they? Well, it certainly isn’t some kind of exclusive senior citizens’ club; but with the “not for normal people” complaint, you may be onto something. The themed cruise package is all the rage today. Whatever your area of special interest may be – be it acting out Star Trek episodes or talking about all things Apple – if your area of interest is popular enough, chances are, you’ll find a cruise package for your needs.
Let’s look at a cruise package or two of the more offbeat ones that cruise operators have dreamed up.
If you feel that there’s something about soap operas that just make you feel warm inside, the Soap Cruise aboard the Celebrity Century goes out to the Caribbean once a year. What makes this cruise special is that once on board, you don’t just get to be with other fans of the Young and the Restless, General Hospital and The Bold and the Beautiful. The cruise operators have signed up stars from every popular soap opera to take the voyage with you. If vicariously living the lives of your favorite soap opera stars has always been your dream, not only will you get to do that with others who feel like you, you’ll get to live with the actual objects of your fantasies.
Some people just love mystery movies. They just love the thrill of the chase, the exasperation of knowing that there’s a clue just around the corner that no one seems to be thinking of. These are people who endlessly build up situations in their minds, where they see themselves in the investigator’s shoes in all their favorite movies. There is no need to just imagine it anymore. Take a Whodunit murder mystery cruise by Whodunit productions and Royal Caribbean, and you get to play your favorite detective; the cruise isn’t anything like the regular dull luxury you get anywhere else. Get on board and you leave your peaceful life behind. Because you’re going to find yourself in the middle of a classic whodunit – murder, mystery, sleaze – it’s all here.
Cruise operators have come to a fairly insightful notion about their customer base – there are lots of people out there to whom nothing could be more pleasant than to immerse themselves in the music of their favorite stars from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Carnival Cruise Lines just came up with its first fully official Elvis tribute cruise package that’s all about celebrating the life and music of the King. The cruise lasts for days; they’ve turned the whole cruise liner into a kind of Graceland. You get all kinds of tribute performances to Elvis and you get to take part in your own Elvis tribute events as part of your cruise package.
