Cruise & Maritime Voyages (CMV) is offering a series of dinner and themed evenings later this year to give groups an introduction to cruising.

CMV's groups themed event

All smiles as one group enjoys their evening on Magellan.

The first such experiences will take place on 26th October and 2nd November and will be themed around Halloween. Group organisers will be able to board the cruise line’s Magellan ship in Liverpool and can choose from either a lunch or dinner. 

Then there will be Christmas events on several dates in December aboard Columbus or Magellan at London Tilbury or Marco Polo in Bristol. 

CMV will provide a range of booking options to each of the themed events, so groups can choose whether to go for lunch, dinner, or even stay overnight.

One free place is available for a group of 20, with prices varying depending on which experience is booked. CMV is aiming to give groups ‘the perfect introduction to cruising’. 

What to expect 

Visitors to either the Halloween themed events in Liverpool or the festive experiences in London and Bristol, will be served a five-course lunch or dinner (depending on which experience is booked onto).

If groups decide to stay the night, breakfast is provided the following morning.

The party in full swing aboard Magellan.

There will also be a cabaret-style show on the ship to look forward to, as well as welcome cocktails and half a bottle of wine per person with the meal.

Each dining table sits a maximum of eight, so large groups may be seated across a number of tables during the meal. The ships will remain in port for the duration of the event.
