Destination:
Grab your neon legwarmers, tease up that hair, and warm up your best Moonwalk – it’s time to set sail on the ultimate 80s-themed mini cruise! This fabulous two-night sailing is the perfect dose of nostalgia with just the right amount of sparkle. Cruise in comfort, dine in style, and dance like it’s 1985 – all without the stress of airports or dodgy shoulder pads.
With luxury coach travel to and from the ports included, a full board stay (with an optional drinks package for those who like their gin as free-flowing as the memories), and dazzling onboard entertainment straight out of your mixtape days, this retro sailing is the perfect throwback getaway.

Day 2 – At Sea: Eighties Ahoy!
Relax on deck or party 80s-style with tribute acts, themed quizzes, and plenty of classic dance moves.
Day 3 – Dock & Roll: Tilbury Arrival
Enjoy breakfast before arriving in Tilbury, then head home with 80s tunes still in your head and a smile on your face.

Accommodation
All the Fun Without the Legwarmers (Unless You Insist)
Full Board
Expect all the bells and whistles: modern cabins, fantastic facilities, and a warm welcome from a crew that knows how to throw a themed party. All meals are included – featuring a lavish five-course evening feast each night – and if you fancy upgrading to an all-drinks package, it’s available to pre-book (and well worth it if you’re partial to a tipple or two between Tainted Love and dessert).
You’ll be surrounded by 80s vibes, live entertainment, themed shows, music, dancing, and plenty of surprises. Whether you’re a Dancing Queen or more Karma Chameleon, this is your time to shine.
A short and sweet sailing packed with nostalgia, nibbles, and neon – the perfect cruise for fun-loving grown-ups with great taste in music and zero interest in acting their age.
Places are limited – so pop on your aviators and book today!
