Entertainment
On a Brand g Vacations Atlas Class Ocean cruise, every night is opening night. Our cruises always feature Brand g Signature Entertainers to provide quality entertainment throughout the cruise, as well as a wonderful crew of hosts to keep you entertained at all times.
ACTIVITIES
Although the focus of our cruises is mainly on sightseeing and socializing, we do like to mix in a bit of frivolity as well. With that in mind, we’re planning a couple of themed parties during the cruise which may include a welcome party, a T-Dance, and quiz shows. If you should choose to participate, great; if you’d rather just be a voyeur, that is totally fine as well!
We will update you on the booked guest page with any themes prior to your trip.
