For British travellers seeking a holiday that breaks all the conventional moulds, a provocative new voyage is on the horizon. The event company Killing Kittens, renowned for its kink-positive parties, is launching a luxury sex cruise set to depart in June 2026, with prices starting from around £5,000 per person.
An Itinerary of Indulgence and Intimacy
On the surface, the six-night, all-inclusive journey promises the trappings of a premium Mediterranean escape. The ship will set sail from Barcelona on June 9, 2026, calling at glamorous ports including Monte Carlo, Florence, and Portofino. However, the true purpose of the voyage unfolds after dark, with a curated schedule of the brand's signature swinging events.
Passengers can expect a heady roster of themed parties, such as the iconic White Party, a masked ball, the primal 'Kreatures of the Night' soiree, the latex-themed 'Dominion', and 'Hedonism' – the longest-running Killing Kittens sex party. Beyond the playrooms, the cruise also offers more subdued pleasures like cooking classes, whiskey tastings, sunrise yoga, and even relationship and sensory play workshops.
Strict Rules for a Safe Space
Despite the liberated atmosphere, organisers emphasise that this is not a free-for-all. Founder Emma Sayle has instituted a firm set of guidelines to ensure safety and comfort, rooted in the company's three core values: privacy, confidentiality, and discretion.
All attendees must sign consent forms, and a golden rule is strictly enforced: no solo men are permitted in the playrooms. In fact, single men cannot book the cruise at all; it is exclusively for solo women or women with their partners. This policy stems from the brand's founding mission to centre and protect female, trans, and non-binary pleasure.
"Obviously it's consent, consent, consent, and everything is based on respect and being a decent human being," Sayle told Metro. Other rules prohibit harassing other guests or misrepresenting one's relationships while on board.
Dress to Impress (or Undress)
This is not a typical cruise where casual wear reigns. Each evening event demands adherence to specific, often elaborate, dress codes. Passengers will need to pack everything from all-white attire and black-tie with masks to woodland creature costumes and latex or beach club wear. For those needing last-minute inspiration, mask and headdress-making stations will be available onboard.
While there are clothing-optional areas for those who wish to bare all, the overall vibe is pitched as a classy, respectful affair where fantasy and etiquette coexist. For newcomers, pre-event chats and a mixer before departure are designed to help guests acclimatise to the unique social environment.
With its blend of luxury travel and curated adult adventure, the Killing Kittens cruise represents a significant, and expensive, new frontier in niche tourism. It offers a stark reminder that even in the most uninhibited settings, clear rules and mutual respect are the true foundations of a pleasurable escape.
