Five new entertainment experiences to look out for

There’s plenty that’s new to discover across our entertainment programme, from immersive evenings and interactive gameshows to brand-new productions. 

We asked our Head of Entertainment, Liam-Jay Beck, to pick out five experiences he thinks are well worth looking out for on your next cruise. 

“For a taste of timeless British elegance, this is a real treat, and one I’d definitely recommend trying while you’re on board.” 

Jubilee Afternoon Tea combines live music from our resident pianists and Show Cast vocalists with plenty of opportunities to sing along, all enjoyed over a selection of sweet and savoury treats in The Observatory. There’s also a Pimm’s Royale cocktail or Golden Jubilee Fizz mocktail included. 

Daytime event | From £19.50 per person | Bookable on board via Guest Services or the Bar Team. 

“This is a great evening with plenty of speakeasy glamour. You can get involved as much as you like, or simply sit back with a drink and enjoy everything going on around you.” 

The Gin & Jazz Affair brings together smooth jazz, sophisticated cocktails and colourful characters, brought to life by members of our Show Casts. There are opportunities to sing along and plenty of laughs throughout. 

Evening event | Complimentary | No booking required. Specially themed cocktails are available to purchase. 

“If you love a good whodunnit, keep an eye out for this murder mystery at sea on Bolette. It’s great fun seeing everyone trying to piece together the clues.” 

Performed by the Bolette Show Cast during a special sea-day matinee, The Final Bow puts your detective skills to the test as you follow the clues and try to work out who the murderer really is. Keep your eyes peeled and your suspicions close – you never know which character might be hiding something! 

 Daytime event | Currently exclusive to Bolette | Complimentary | No booking required. 

“I’m really excited for guests to see this brand-new production. It’s light-hearted, festive and has all the fun you want from a Christmas show.” 

Created exclusively for the 2026 festive season, Christmas Ahoy! brings together our talented Show Casts and a few surprise guests for an all-singing, all-dancing mix of festive favourites, comedy, panto-style fun and seasonal surprises. 

Featured on Christmas cruises across the fleet during the 2026 festive season. 

“Our gameshows are all about bringing people together and having a laugh. You can throw yourself into the action, cheer everyone else on, or just enjoy watching it unfold.” 

From The Perfect Match and In the Majority to Jukebox Bingo, our Entertainment Hosts bring guests together for music, quick thinking, challenges and plenty of laughs. And look out for our new Holiday Gameshow, which brings some of our crew members from across the ship into the spotlight too. 

Featured across selected daytime and evening programmes throughout our cruises. 

Every cruise has its own entertainment programme, so not all of these experiences will be available on every sailing. Availability can vary depending on itinerary, cruise length and programme limitations, so keep an eye on your on-board Daily Times to see what’s happening during your cruise.
