Who doesn’t love a throwback? Whether you’re an Eighties or Nineties kid, you’ll want to jump onboard the latest themed cruise. Just like its name suggests, Electric Sunsets: 80s vs 90s Cruise brings you the ultimate musical showdown.

Big-name acts and DJs from both decades will go head to head onboard Marella Voyager. On top of this, you can look forward to retro film screenings, parties and fancy dress nights – so don’t forget your best shell suits, tutu’s and platforms.

Would be great for a friends trip or with anyone who loves the 80s & 90s
