Grown and Sexy Cruise
Catering to a Black audience and known for curating the perfect party environment, Grown and Sexy cruises take on routes primarily in the tropics of the Caribbean, Africa and South America. Their themed adventures inspire a level of revelry that many adults rarely get to experience, and span from Halloween-costumed capers to Superbowl-fandom affairs. Cruise itineraries are often populated with performances by popular hip-hop artists, making every port call a star-studded affair.
Wine
A heavy emphasis on refinement helps shape the passenger experience on luxury cruise line Cunard, from daily afternoon teas served by white gloved waiters to elegant ballroom galas held every evening. This sense of sophistication and taste is highlighted by the onboard wine programming, which offers oenophiles a chance to sample from the sellers, learn to pair wine and food on menus from expert sommeliers, and discover the finer notes of flavor profile in tasting lessons. What sets this cruise line apart is the opportunity for passengers to receive official WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) qualifications in both wine and sake.
