We're more than a cruise company
Theatrical Adventures has blossomed into a highly successful tour operator, offering river cruises along some of Europe’s most breathtaking waterways and beyond. Every evening, our guests are treated to performances by professional opera singers from the National Gilbert & Sullivan Opera Company, with some cruises even featuring a live orchestra on board!
Our directors personally accompany every cruise, ensuring each passenger has a delightful and trouble-free experience. Solo travellers need not worry! We make it a point to offer cabins with minimal single supplement fees. We understand the frustration and strive to provide our single passengers with the best possible value.
One of the unique joys of a Theatrical Adventures cruise is the lasting friendships formed. Many of our guests return year after year, reuniting on cruises and at our sister company’s International Gilbert & Sullivan Festival, creating a warm and happy atmosphere. The relaxed, friendly spirit of the Festival is carried over to every voyage. We charter the entire ship (unless indicated) and ensure that every moment on board is one to remember.
