Your invitation to join us for an unforgettable Murder Mystery Cruise Experience setting sail May 2026!

It’s hard to believe it’s been over four years since our last murder mystery cruise. Back in 2019 we took the DFDS boat from Newcastle to Amsterdam return. The amenities were fairly basic, and the weather horrendous… but it didn’t put us off looking for another opportunity! (With a bigger boat.)

After a few years chatting to various travel agents we eventually found the one we wanted to partner with to bring about this weekend luxury cruise, sizing up the smaller north sea ferry, to an 18 floor cruise liner specifically designed for luxury cruising!

Like previous cruises before, this one will be an immersive experience. You’ll be met at a specific location on boarding and be given a top secret package containing everything you need to know. Over the course of the weekend, expect more revelations pushed under your cabin door, as new facts and information is introduced.

And throughout the weekend, you’ll enjoy fully inclusive dining and a premium drinks package aimed at ensuring a blissful stay (when you aren’t trying to find a murderer).

This murder mystery cruise lasts a weekend, departing from Southampton on the 2nd May and returning on the 4th (Bank holiday Monday) meaning that for many in the UK – you can fit this in without having to book additional time off at work.

Sunday will be spent exploring the charming shores of Cherbourg, where apparently they have an umbrella museum. (But let’s hope you won’t be needing one of those!)

Whether you prefer a cozy interior cabin or want to live in luxury with a private whirlpool in the MSC Yacht Club, there’s an option for everyone on our murder mystery cruise. And if you want to avoid a single room supplement but not sure who to share with – don’t forget to book onto our virtual weekend adventure in February to get the chance to meet other puzzle and mystery lovers. Who knows, you might find the perfect cabin companion!

As you might imagine, organizing a trip like this takes expertise, which is why we’ve teamed up with personal travel expert Cath Bracegirdle to make booking a breeze. Cath has years of experience in planning unforgettable cruise holidays, so she’s the perfect person to help you with all the details for this murder mystery cruise. This is why you can’t book directly on our website but have to call or fill in a form to speak to Cath. We wanted you to be reassured that mini-break murder mystery cruise was 100% ATOL protected, and booking through Cath guarantees the trip.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
