What to Expect on a Lifestyle Cruise
You’re surrounded by like-minded souls, connected by your thirst for adventure and unique, unforgettable moments. Welcome to the world of lifestyle cruise ships—a thriving scene for adults looking to elevate their cruising experience with a touch more relaxation, sophistication and excitement.
What is a Lifestyle Cruise?
The allure of lifestyle cruising is unlike any other vacation at sea. These adult-only voyages go beyond the traditional cruise format, inviting guests to explore new dimensions of travel and connection while exploring the seas. A lifestyle cruise is all about building a community based on respect, inclusivity, and consent, where everyone feels comfortable expressing themselves as much or as little as they’d like to.
On a KK Cruise, this translates into an environment where freedom reigns, but personal boundaries are always respected. Whether it’s meeting new friends or dancing the night away at a themed party, there’s a shared understanding and appreciation for the joys of connection, creating memories that will last long after you disembark.
About KK Cruise: Your Specialised Lifestyle Cruise Partner
With nearly two decades of experience hosting world-class adult lifestyle events, the luxury liberation brand community, Killing Kittens (known as KK by its members) has perfected the art of creating safe, welcoming spaces for people from all walks of life. KK Cruise offers guests the same enriching KK experience with the added treat of a dream luxury getaway.
From luxurious Mediterranean excursions to fun-filled themed evenings, KK Cruise redefines the adult cruising scene with unparalleled experiences specially crafted for open-minded adventurers. You’ll find yourself immersed in a vibrant community, surrounded by luxurious amenities and thrilling events.
KK Cruise itineraries promise a dynamic mix of adventure and relaxation, connecting you with the heart of Europe’s most beautiful locales. Imagine docking at some of Europe’s most iconic destinations—Barcelona, Monte Carlo, Florence, Portofino, and Mallorca—each stop offering a blend of vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and free time to explore. Whether you choose to relax and unwind on the beach or sample some local delicacies, each port is as much a part of the discovery as the ship itself.
Onboard Accommodation and Amenities
Every detail on board a KK Cruise has been thoughtfully crafted to offer every guest the ultimate comfort and indulgence. Our accommodation options range from cosy interior staterooms, perfect for solo adventurers, to spacious suites with private verandas, ideal for couples looking to share intimate moments together while looking out at The Mediterranean Sea.
With all of the amenities of a boutique hotel, you can sink into soft, elegant bedding and enjoy the aromas of luxury bathroom products to enhance your nightly rituals. With thoughtful, personalised touches, your KK Cruise cabin is your own private oasis.
With many restaurants to choose from, our dining options cater for every palate—from gourmet Italian cuisine at Aqualina to the finest cuts and seafood at Prime C. Head over to Discoveries to explore dishes inspired by the destinations we visit, including chef specialities like filet mignon with black truffle sauce. For more casual bites, The Patio offers a relaxed poolside atmosphere, while Mosaic Café serves coffee and treats if you need a caffeine or sugar hit.
Whether you want to relax or stay active, our lifestyle cruises with KK deliver both. Catch up on some well-deserved R&R, and indulge in refreshing Sanctum Spa treatments. Then treat your body like a temple with nutritional wellness and group fitness classes, including yoga, pilates, and even boot camp sessions (if you’re feeling particularly brave). With a fully-equipped gym and vast ocean views, your workout experience will be as invigorating as it is scenic.
Activities and Workshops
Every day on board a KK lifestyle cruise is an invitation to explore, unwind, revitalise and enrich yourself. With an opportunity every morning to reset your circadian rhythm, you can awaken by taking in the sunrise on the pool deck, and then kickstart your day with energising classes—from HIIT sessions to calming yoga flows.
In the afternoons, you’ll be able to join workshops led by specialists in fields covering intimacy, sexual wellness, and personal growth. Whether you’re curious to explore new dimensions in your relationships or simply want to learn more about yourself, you’ll be bound to walk away from each session with new, valuable insights.
KK Cruise Evenings: Unforgettable Entertainment
As the sun sets, the spirit of KK Cruise truly comes alive. With an array of themed nightlife events, you’ll never be far from the thrill of an unforgettable evening. From the enticing Kabaret to the exotic allure of Kreatures of the Night, every themed party is designed for the adventurous and curious. At night, the ship transforms into a playground where live music, immersive performances, and DJs keep the energy high and the dance floor buzzing.
If you’re more of a talker than a dancer, social mixers and meet-and-greets offer a more relaxed atmosphere to mingle and connect. And for those seeking intimate moments or lively gatherings, the range of evening entertainment is as diverse as the guests onboard.
Safety, Health, and Respect Onboard
The cornerstone of any lifestyle cruise is the sense of mutual respect and trust among guests. KK Cruise is committed to fostering an empowering environment where everyone feels safe and free to enjoy the journey without compromising personal boundaries.
Our health and safety protocols are designed to give you peace of mind, from spotless and thorough cleaning procedures to guidelines for respectful conduct and rules of consent. Every guest has a role in creating and maintaining a harmonious and worry-free atmosphere, so everyone can feel truly comfortable.
