Want to sail the sea naked? Then look no further, because Bare Necessities Tour and Travel offers naturist vacations such as clothing-optional cruises.

Beam me up Scotty: Do you know the Vulcan salute and echo the words “Live long and prosper” then unite with fellow Trekkies on the Star Trek Cruise.

If chocolate is your passion, sail away with other chocoholics to discover the world of chocolate while eating your way through Regent Seven Seas’ Chocolate Cruise.

Make a toast to a wine cruise—Avalon Waterways has several wine-itinerary cruises—as well as other theme cruises like the Holiday Theme Cruise “Christmas in the Heart of Germany.”

There are Hobby Cruises too—you can learn Grandmasters’ secret chess moves or try your luck on a Poker Cruise.

If your alter ego is Nancy Drew or Sherlock Holmes, maritime mysteries set sail with Royal Caribbean Liberty of the Seas Murder Mystery Theme Cruises.

Music-enthusiasts can harmonize at a Jazz Cruise with jazz legends or an Opera Cruise with sopranos and tenors. Should “Swing’s The Thing” be your motto, then take a live Big Band Cruise where you can dance under the stars all night long.

Say “Ahoy” to a Sports Cruise: tennis, golf, soccer, or Carnival’s NASCAR Cruise may be where the “Speed Racer” in you comes alive.

Fancy yourself an adventurer? Take an Adventure Cruise from the luxury cruise line Abercombie & Kent International, Inc.

Tone-up and get fit on a Wellness Experience theme cruise on the MSC Fantasia cruise ship.

Or, if history floats your boat, all aboard a History Theme Cruise on Silversea’s Silver Shadow cruise ship where you can attend lectures by eminent historians and celebrated authors and then take onshore excursions to historical sites.

Not only do theme cruises give people a fun and entertaining way to increase their knowledge on a specific subject and expand their horizons, these cruises also offer a great opportunity to meet people with similar interests, and no where is this more evident than on a Singles Cruise, where you could possibly meet, and travel with your soul mate.

If the specific theme cruise you want has already ’set sail’, no problem, the majority of theme cruises mentioned in this article will be available from the cruise lines next year as well.

Theme Cruise Finder currently has over 500 theme cruises listed in every theme starting with the letter “A” for Antiques and Art Lovers which makes finding a cruise that suits you extra-easy.

The following library of links will help you plan your theme cruise holiday for many years to come.

"Travel guidebooks are handy, but they are often outdated after a few months on the shelf. Here, you enter your destination and dates of travel, and the site generates a custom, up to the minute itinerary, complete with local maps, event listings, weather forecast, common phrases and much more".

Martha Stewart Living Magazine | August 2009

"Offbeat's approach, however, is inviting and easy. And judging by the way they've run it so far, you can bet their beta version will continue to get stacked with even more stuff to add or subtract to your guides to help your further your journey into full-on customized nirvana. It makes a weekend jaunt to an unknown destination incredibly less clumsy and infinitely more hands-on.

Where I've Been salutes Offbeat Guides' appreciation for the little things that the little guy / girl wants -- they manage to do the dirtiest work in the cleanest, sleekest way possible. Cheers.

You can also keep up with some sage advice and travel news -- particularly for the tech-savvy traveler -- on Offbeat's Travel Blog."

@ckorakas @dangillmor thanks for suggesting @offbeatguides, tested on my home town and its good!

@maxniederhofer: Bought a great sf guide for my august bay area trip starting today. @offbeatguides @dsifry thanks!

"This is something I have been looking for, for a long time. I travel quite a lot to various destinations and your concept of collecting geographical info, history, surrounding areas, interesting complimentary stories etc, events info, and even the language help at the end is just great. The fact that one can choose which parts one wants to include make the whole concept even more useful and customizable. And at a fantastic price - $10 for a pdf !!!"
