Cruises offer Drama on the High Seas

Choice and variety are the buzzwords in the cruising industry. In fact these two factors might go some way in explaining why cruising has experienced a massive increase despite a hard hit tourism trade during the credit crunch. The flexibility and variety of cruise holidays means cruising has become more accessible to younger markets, families, singletons and other sectors of the travel market originally alienated by cruising. Cruise ships still cater for the retired and silver pound market, but increasingly there are cruise holidays to cover all potential markets.

Cruises: Rockers to Divas

Themed cruises are a popular way of tapping into niche markets. Now there are cruise ships dedicated to gay holidaymakers with camp parties, musicals, dedicated Barbara Streisand nights and guest celebrities. Cruise companies are building ships to attract fun, party-goers increasing the number of hen and stag parties and even weddings at sea. And there are cruise holidays aimed at young families and kids. Some more bizarre upcoming cruise holidays include a cruise dedicated to rock bank Pink Floyd; the diversity of the cruising industry is one of the modern features of cruising today.

Cruises and Cabaret

But entertainment and cruising have always gone hand-in-hand. And there are still cruise ships that specialise in the old fashioned cruise entertainment such as dinner dances, cabaret shows and cocktail parties. Guests on upmarket cruises can expect entertainment that covers everything from wine tasting courses to opera. Entertainment on cruise ships is so diverse that it's hard to think there won't be one show you'll love: magic, dance (performance and lessons), piano, acoustic sets, comedy acts, musical reviews, plays, lectures, jazz, and blues...the list is endless.

Cruise Ships Launch Celebrity

And cruise ships are still places where celebrities can make their careers. One much-loved British star is Jane McDonald who began her career singing on cruises, before featuring on TV as presenter of Loose Women. She originally shot to fame on the reality TV show The Cruise ten years ago. Her singing on cruise ships not only gave her the opportunity to enjoy cruising around the world, but it gave her the springboard for a career spanning several albums, world tours and hugely popular TV shows. For a lass from Wakefield cruising perhaps offered the ultimate experience, combining all those things cruising the high seas should – romance, entertainment, dreams and ambition, and a little dash of drama.
