Meow Meow Cruise - a voyage for cat-lovers 

Get the paw-ty started: Meow Meow Cruise is the ultimate cruise for cat-lovers (though cats aren't allowed on board)

The Meow Meow Cruise is the purr-fect voyage for cat-lovers.

Cats aren't allowed on board, but feline fanatics can meet like-minded people through meet and greets, group dining, group trivia, and more.

This year's voyage - a four-night Caribbean cruise from Miami aboard Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady - has already sailed. For those who missed out, there will be a cat cruise to Alaska in 2025 with Carnival Cruise Lines.

Prices start at $1,550 (£1,221). To book, register via meowmeowcruise.com. 

The nude cruise 

Could you bare it? Bare Necessities Tour and Travel offers cruises for nudists

Most guests on this cruise pack light - very light.

It's run by Bare Necessities Tour & Travel, which encourages guests to strip off, but does issue a few guidelines.

One rule is that 'lingerie, fetish-wear, and excessive genital jewellery' are banned, as is nudity when the ship is docked and during meals in the dining rooms.

Guests must also make sure that they're sitting on a towel or an article of clothing 'when bare bottomed or in a thong or G-string'.

The Bare Necessities Tour & Travel website adds that this rule applies 'everywhere... your stateroom, on the pool deck, in the buffet area, all venues aboard, and even while on excursions'.

And it stresses: 'Social nudity is not a sexual activity, and we strive to dispel the misconception that it is anything but natural and beautiful.'

The next nude cruise - billed as The Big Nude Boat - will depart in February 2025 from Miami to Mexico aboard the Norwegian Pearl. Tickets start at $2,000 (£1,578). For more information visit cruisebare.com/cruises.

The Ultimate Disco Cruise 

This disco-dedicated cruise sees a ship turned into a 'floating dance club'

How deep is your love for disco? Very deep? Then the Ultimate Disco Cruise could be for you.

The next sailing is a Miami to Mexico round-trip, departing in February 2025, with the ship - the Norwegian Pearl - turned into a 'floating dance club'.

Ultimate Disco Cruise promises 'themed parties, over 40 live performances, interaction with the stars' - and Kool & the Gang will be the headline act. 

Be sure to pack your bell bottoms and platform boots, as there's a costume contest in store. 

Prices range from $1,799 to $8,099 (£1,419 to £6,391). To book, head to ultimatediscocruise.com.

Desire Cruises - a 'sensual' way to cruise

Desire Cruises offers a clothing-optional blend of relaxation and fantasy on the high seas 

Couples-only and clothing-optional, Desire Cruises offers a 'sensual way to sail'.

As a guest, you'll 'embark on an unforgettable adventure, immersing yourself in the perfect blend of relaxation and fantasy while sailing the high seas'.

Features include 'provocative theme nights in a seductive nightclub, private playrooms, gourmet dining and an inclusive beverage package'.

The next voyage is in May 2024, with the Desire French Riviera sailing from Barcelona to Rome. The eight-day, seven-night itinerary promises that guests will have their 'wildest dreams fulfilled while basking in the magnetic energy of the sea'.

Prices are available on request. See desire-cruises.com.

Star Trek Cruise

For a journey that's out of this world, Star Trek fans can book a berth aboard Royal Caribbean's Explorer of the Seas and 'embark on an interstellar journey like never before'.

This Star Trek-themed voyage - 'the ultimate immersive Star Trek experience' - departs in 2025 for a seven-day voyage around the Caribbean, with Star Trek-themed shows, parties, activities, and appearances by actors from the franchise, including Jonathan Frakes and Kate Mulgrew.
