Music theme cruises have become a popular vacation option for cruise fans in recent years. Among the other well-known cruises are The 80s Cruise (sailing out of Los Angeles in 2023), the Kiss Kruise, the Ultimate Disco Cruise, and the ’70s Rock and Romance Cruise. Some non-music-themed cruises include Star Trek: The Cruise and the High Seas Rally, a cruise aimed at motorcycle fans.
