The great thing about Pop Culture is that there is something for everyone! And there is a growing trend of Pop Culture cruises that prove there is cruise for everyone!
For example, Star Trek’s George Takei recently appeared on a transatlantic cruise on Cunard‘s Queen Mary 2. New Kids On The Block’s annual Carnival cruises are so popular it’s spawned a reality series, to air on the TV Guide Network in the fall. NKONB’s 2015 cruise has not yet been announced, so there is still time!
Game of Thrones: See the real-life Winterfell. Holland America Line is targeting fans of the HBO show with a four-hour shore excursion, “Experience the Game of Thrones,” out of Belfast. As you visit filming locations, there’s discussion of special effects and photo opportunities with show costumes, plus you can try your hand at archery.
Zombies: Celebrate the walking dead at sea. You can attend a Zombie prom and hang out with Zombie actors, authors and makeup artists on a Zombie Cruise onboard the world’s largest cruise ship, Royal Caribbean’s Allure of the Seas, embarking Fort Lauderdale on November 2.

Top Chef: Chef’testants from the Bravo TV show are making appearances on theme cruises on Celebrity Cruises ships.

Dancing with the Stars: Holland America Line’s popular “Dancing with the Stars: At Sea,” tied in with the hit ABC TV show, includes a dance competition on all the line’s ships.
