Will Taylor Swift attend the cruise themed after her in 2024? How to book the Royal Caribbean holiday for Swifties from Miami to the Bahamas, departing next October
Ahoy, Swifties! If you’ve ever imagined yourself in a picturesque moment, staring out at sea in a nice dress during sunset as the chorus of “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)” plays in the background, now’s your chance.
A Taylor Swift-themed cruise is setting sail in 2024. The fan-sponsored event organised by Marvelous Mouse Travels will take Swifties on a Royal Caribbean cruise sailing from the port of Miami to Nassau, Bahamas. According to a post by event organisers in the Facebook group for the cruise, because of limited capacity they are operating on a wait-list model, showcasing the impact a Swift theme can have on businesses.
Here’s what you need to know.
When is it?
The five-day/four-night cruise departs on October 21, 2024, from Miami and returns on October 25.
How much is it?
Originally, prices were advertised from US$1,570 to US$1,970 depending on your room for the four-night stay on board the Allure of the Seas. However, Jessica Malerman, one of the event organisers, shared in the Facebook group that this price has changed because they got additional rooms from Royal Caribbean to accommodate the demand, and that the new rates are slightly higher. There are three room options available: Interior, Boardwalk Balcony and Oceanview Balcony.
What’s included?
For meals, dinner is included in the main dining room, as well as some buffet and à la carte options on board. There’s also entertainment such as stage shows, game shows and karaoke.
For an additional fee, there are premium add-ons guests can choose from including speciality dining, beverage packages and excursions.
What is the itinerary for Swifties?
As far as travel goes, after departing the Port of Miami on day one, the second day will be spent at Coco Cay, which is Royal Caribbean’s private island. Day three is spent in Nassau, Bahamas. The fourth day is at sea before returning to the Port of Miami on day five.
Who is organising it?
Marvelous Mouse Travels is organising the “In My Cruise Era” event. The group began in 2014 and this year became a Disney Diamond Earmarked Agency. Additionally, it is a Preferred Universal Agency, Presidents Club at Travel Leaders Network, Mark Travel 500 Club and a Preferred Sandals Agency. It is not endorsed or affiliated with TASRM or Taylor Swift.
The Taylor Swift fan cruise is being led by three travel agents, Jessica Malerman, Nicole Rivera and Shelby Reyes, who are also Taylor Swift fans.
Because of capacity restrictions, only those who book with Marvelous Mouse Travels are guaranteed to participate in the Eras-themed events that the group is organising.
Will Taylor Swift be there?
Taylor Swift is not affiliated with the cruise, so it is unlikely that she will attend. However, if you want a chance to see her before the cruise sets sail, you could visit Miami a few days before. Swift is performing for three nights at the Hard Rock Stadium from October 18-20.
