  • Dance

    You're never too old to learn how to dance. While most people can tap their feet to music and many are prepared to take to the dance floor, not everyone has the confidence or experience to enjoy the full range of dance. Our dance cruises are a mixture of practical tuition and exploration of the ways in which dance has changed over the past half century. Selected cruises will offer Ballroom and Latin American, dance while others concentrate on the more disciplined art of sequence dance. Try your skill at the Latin American Tango, the fiery Spanish Flamenco, Strauss Waltzes and Polkas through our friendly and informative group sessions and hosted dancing. Themes are often related to the areas visited, such as Latin American on South American cruises.

  • Photography

    Photography is all about picture-making and, as a result, the aim of The ArtsClub cruises is to show you how you can get fun and enjoyment out of photography. How to produce pictures which will give you, your family and friends, much pleasure for years to come. Our experts will inform and inspire you through a series of talks about their work - even taking you behind the scenes in some cases - and of course the history of this dynamic art form. The main emphasis, however, will be on practical photography and taking better pictures. Our programmes are well balanced and cater for both absolute beginners, owning nothing more sophisticated than a simple pocket camera, and advanced experts, with the very latest in complex or expensive equipment.
