All Aboard for Murder: What to Expect from Our Three-Night Mystery Cruise

How does the murder mystery work?

The murder mystery takes place over three nights of the cruise, with eight actors onboard bringing the story to life.

At the centre of our story is the Pink Cougar Diamond, a priceless jewel with a colourful history – and several people who would very much like to get their hands on it.

It all begins with a welcome drinks party in The Observatory, our private venue for the mystery at the top of Ambience. Here you'll meet the characters for the first time and start to discover their connections to each other – and to the diamond.

Then a body is discovered.

From that point on, you’re investigating a murder.

Each evening, before dinner, we'll return to The Observatory as the story continues. You'll watch events unfold, discover new evidence and, most importantly, have the opportunity to question the suspects yourself.

You won't just be watching a murder mystery from your seat. You'll be able to speak to the characters, ask your own questions and decide who you believe. You can compare notes with friends and fellow guests, follow up on anything that doesn't quite add up and start building your case.

You'll also receive your own evidence pack, with more information to examine as the investigation develops.

But catching the killer might be more urgent than you think. The story isn't over after the first murder and, while a killer remains onboard, there's no guarantee everyone will make it back to shore.

On the final night, you'll have the chance to submit your solution. Who did it? Why? And have you managed to piece together what really happened?

Then we'll bring everyone together and all will be revealed.

You can throw yourself into the investigation, work as a team, interrogate every suspect you can find or simply enjoy watching the story unfold. How you choose to play is entirely up to you.

You'll also receive a goody bag during the cruise and one of our puzzle boxes to take home, so you'll have another mystery waiting for you once you're back on dry land.

Three nights to catch a killer. Just make sure you do it before you reach port.
