The Card Player Cruises leadership did confirm for its customers, many of whom are dedicated poker-cruise aficionados, that all cruises scheduled with Royal Caribbean through 2024 will run as scheduled. CPC’s 2024 schedule includes cruises to the Caribbean, the Mexican Riviera, Alaska, and the Far East. Two Caribbean cruises are scheduled for January.
Most major cruise lines have casinos onboard their ships, which are in operation whenever the ships are in international waters. Dedicated poker-themed packages are something of a rarity, with Card Player Cruises and the World Poker Tour being the largest of several such poker entities offering ocean-liner poker trips.
Royal Caribbean is the second-largest cruise line in the world, trailing only Carnival in that regard. The WPT also used Royal throughout the 2010s for its poker-cruise offerings, but has more recently moved to the smaller Virgin Voyages for several poker-themed travel and entertainment packages. Virgin is likely to be among the cruise lines to receive prominent consideration as a new home for Card Player Cruises.
As the statement explained, “We are actively exploring alternative cruise line partnerships to continue offering you exciting and memorable poker travel experiences with Card Player Cruises in 2025 and beyond.”
