Many of these programs were developed with and sold to partners and operators who continue to present these themes.

Previous programs include: NASCAR: The Cruise, Celtic Thunder Cruise, Soul Train Cruise, Malt Shop Memories Cruise, Country Music Cruise, Star Trek: The Cruise, The Gospel Music Cruise and The Elvis Cruise
