Onboard Parties and Activities
Although the focus of our cruises is mainly on sightseeing and socializing, we do like to mix in a bit of frivolity as well. With that in mind, we’ll plan a couple of themed deck parties during the cruise, for which details will be released closer to the cruise. If you should choose to participate great, if you’d rather just be a voyeur that is totally fine as well.
