Wonderfully Weird Cruises
Cat Lovers Cruise. The Meow Meow Cruise is a gathering on water for cat lovers around the world (or at least those who can conveniently get to the departure port of Miami and have $420 to spare). Alas, your moggy will have to make do with a postcard – cats aren't actually allowed on board. Departs February 26 on Carnival Victory. www.meowmeowcruise.com
Eclipse Cruise. A little more run-of-the-mill is the Cruise and Maritime Voyages Solar Eclipse Spectacular, departing London Tilbury March 16, 2015. The ship will head to the remote Faroe Islands where passengers will, hopefully, witness an eclipse (scheduled for March 20) and perhaps the Northern Lights. www.eclipseofthecentury.com/
Ghost Hunter’s Cruise. If you’d like to hunt ghosts at sea, Norwegian Epic has a cruise for ghost hunters March 1-8, 2015, departing from Miami. www.ghosthuntercruise.com/
Gothic Cruise. The year's Gothic Cruise gets underway September 27, departing New Orleans on Carnival Dream. Full details have yet to be announced, but excessive eye makeup, vampire costumes, a live performance by the bipolar-sounding band Angels and Agony, and – if this video is anything to go by – games of Twister, can be expected. www.gothiccruise.com
Poison, Murder & Mystery Cruise. Fred Olson’s Poison, Murder & Mystery Cruise aims to be the "biggest participative murder mystery ever undertaken." It is being organized with help from the Duchess of Northumberland and links the Poison Gardens at Alnwick Castle with the Poison Garden of Guimar in Tenerife. Should you solve the mystery on board, you could even win a World Cruise for two. Departs Edinburgh (Scotland) July 10, 2015. www.fredolsencruises.com/poison
Psychics Unleashed 3 – a themed option on, suitably, Carnival Spirit – features not one, two, or even three, but four of the best psychics and mediums in Australia. It departs from Sydney May 19, 2015. www.cleancruising.com.au/ship.asp?ship=CARSPI
Star Trek Cruise. Trekkies (Star Trek fans) have permeated every corner of the world and the high seas are no different. On the annual Cruise Trek, there are likely to be appearances by actors and production staff and all manner of Star Trek-themed fun. Last year's cruise was in the British Isles, The 2015 cruise will visit the Caribbean. www.cruisetrek.com
