Fit For A King


Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas is set to become the third in their spectacular Freedom class of ships. Upon her May 2008 debut in the United Kingdom, she will be the largest ship ever to be home-ported in Europe.


Love Me Tender


As well as the Elvis competition, showcases and special guests, the cruise also features Elvis theme nights, discos and cocktail parties, plus the chance for fans to take their vows in the presence of the King using our on-board Las Vegas style wedding chapel.


The Elvis Party Cruise sails from Southampton to Cork and back, departing May 17, 2008.
