The experience

What this voyage looks like

A themed evening is a casino night where every surface agrees with the idea. Our styling team dresses the ballroom or terrace in period detail, the band learns the set, the cocktail list is rewritten to match, and the gaming floor carries the theme onto the felt. Guests arrive through a dressed gangway, play under the theme all evening and leave with photos that look like a film still rather than a function.

  • Three house themes ready to deploy, or a bespoke concept built for your occasion.
  • Styling scope covers entrance dressing, table felt, staff costume, lighting and printed matter.
  • Live entertainment matched to theme: jazz trios, cabaret, string quartets or a DJ closing set.

Everything handled on board

One producer runs your booking from first call to final hand, so the details below arrive as standard rather than extras.

Poker, roulette and blackjack tables dressed to the theme with dealers in period costume.

Matched menu and bar

A cocktail list and menu rewritten for the theme by the ship's head bartender and chef.

Entertainment booking

Formats

Three ways to run it

Browse the calendar
Format 01

Gatsby Ballroom

Art deco dressing, a jazz trio, champagne towers and a floor of black-and-gold felt.

Format 02

Bond Terrace

Black-tie on the open deck: martini service, a string duo and high-stakes styling without the high stakes.

Format 03

Bespoke concept

Your theme built from scratch. Havana, Monaco 1965, Venetian carnival, or something nobody has done.

Flow of the evening

From gangway to final hand

A typical running order. Your producer tunes the timing to your charter length and the mood you want in the room.

Dressed arrival

Guests board through a styled gangway into the full theme: music, costume and the first pour already set.

First act

The floor opens alongside the first entertainment set, with dealers in costume from the first hand.

Feature moment

Mid-evening brings the theme's centrepiece: a floor show, a champagne tower or a staged table finale.

Closing set

Play winds down as the entertainment peaks, and guests leave through the same dressed space they entered.

Our clients walked into a 1929 ballroom and kept asking where the ship had hidden it. The detail was absurd in the best way.

Questions about this voyage

The points guests ask about most. Anything else, the events desk answers within one working day.

Full FAQ
How long does a bespoke theme take?
House themes need four weeks. A bespoke concept needs eight to ten weeks for design, fabrication and rehearsal.
Do guests have to dress up?
We set a dress suggestion rather than a rule, and most guests lean in once they see the brief. Costume guidance goes out with invitations.
Can the theme carry onto invitations?
Yes. Our designer produces the invitation suite, boarding cards and table stationery in the same style as the room.
Is photography included?
A photographer and a dressed portrait corner are included in every themed package, with a shared gallery after the event.
