JanThe1st Posted June 23 #1 Share Posted June 23 I really like this idea for the 14th Sept - 19th Sept cruise but feel that the announcement should have been earlier. Is anyone going on this cruise and have any thoughts regarding this entertainment offering? Here is the email/announcement from VV on 21st June saying: “This is more than just a cruise, it’s our first-ever comedy festival, meaning you’ll be smiling at more than just the sunset. On this 5-night journey through Amsterdam and Bruges, you’ll spend your days exploring the Low Countries, from stunning architecture, to historical sites, to delectable local eats. At night, you’ll be laughing your aft off to some of the UK’s hottest comedy stars, like Russell Howard, Simon Brodkin, and Ria Lina alongside our usual lineup of award-winning dining, entertainment, and accommodations. Laughter + Luxury = one incredible voyage.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetdriver787 Posted June 23 #2 Share Posted June 23 Yes, we are going on it and I think it’s fantastic that this has now happened! Looking forward to it, as a very good headline act (Russell Howard.) All feels like a great bonus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon81uk Posted June 23 #3 Share Posted June 23 Also although not as well known as Russell Howard who is definitely the headliner, we saw Andre Vincent on Scarlet Lady in April this year and he was very good. https://www.virginvoyages.com/ahoy/stories/portsmouth-uk-comedy-cruise-festival 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do VV usually have a stand-up comedian on each sailing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Scarlet Lady the dinner show is now a comedy club so they usually have 2-3 comedians and maybe a magician. On Valiant & Resilient they might have a comedian or a magician or some other caberet act as the Festival Stage act. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaysha2004 Posted June 23 #6 Share Posted June 23 I booked this cruise in September 2023, and there was no theme to it. This is a nice bonus, as I love comedians. Life needs laughter! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cantgetin Posted June 24 #7 Share Posted June 24 We've had at least one comedian on each of our sailings (Valiant and Scarlet)...but we don't book short cruises. That might make a difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet never used to but I sailed Valiant in the beginning of the month and they had a female comedian and I really enjoyed it. Hopefully they keep it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
