Want to embrace your sexual side in 2026? It might be time to book onto a new sex cruise, coming to an ocean near you.
Killing Kittens, the kink-positive event company, is launching a very naughty cruise promising a pleasurable holiday for couples and singles alike.
Setting sail on June 9, 2026, at first glance it may seem like any other luxury, all-inclusive trip — with the itinerary taking voyagers from Barcelona to Monte Carlo, before journeying on to Florence and Portofino.
But the cruise has a very special USP, hosting a heady timetable of Killing Kittens’s swinging events, including its popular White Party, a masked ball, the Kreatures of the Night primal soiree, the latex-themed Dominion, and Hedonism, the longest-running Killing Kittens sex party.
But just because you can let loose in one of the ‘play rooms’, it doesn’t mean you can get lawless at sea.
In fact, the Killing Kittens cruise has some very strict rules that all passengers are expected to follow…
The three core values
If you’re lucky enough to get a cabin on board, you must comply with the three core values of Killing Kittens: privacy, confidentiality and discretion.
This means you cannot reveal the identity of anyone else at the sex parties on board and you mustn’t harass, abuse or harm anyone.
Other rules insist partygoers must not misrepresent their relationships with anyone, past or present. Honesty is key, so if your wife is onboard, don’t pretend she isn’t.

No solo men in playrooms
Killing Kittens was born out of a desire to celebrate female pleasure, and therefore the safety of women, trans and non-binary individuals is paramount.
That’s why founder Emma Sayle’s golden rule is ‘no solo men in playrooms’. In fact, single men won’t be going on this cruise at all – it’s for solo women or women and their partners only.
She tells Metro: ‘Obviously it’s consent, consent, consent, and everything is based on respect and being a decent human being.’
You’ll need to sign consent and attendance forms too once onboard. Unlike Killing Kittens parties hosted on land, you won’t actually need to be a member to go – you just need to abide by the club rules.
Dress codes
Going on a sex cruise doesn’t just mean you can get your tits and bits out – it’s a much classier affair.
In fact, Emma says there are specific clothing optional areas on board if you wish to bare all.
That’s not all. When it comes to party events, you’ll need to come prepared.
‘You’ll need to adhere to the dress code depending on the theme of the night,’ Emma explains.
First timers
If you’ve never been to a Killing Kittens party before, you’ll want to join the pre-event chat nearer the time, so you can chat to people are get the general vibe of your spicy holiday.
Don’t sweat though, because there’s also a mix and mingle the night before you set sail, to meet fellow cruisers.
‘The White party is self-explanatory – it’s all white. The masked ball is black tie and ball gowns with masks; kreatures of the night is woodland, goddesses, nymphs – a chance to play real dress-up.
‘Hedonism is beachclub wear in the day, and in the night Dominion is latex and leather.’
So, you’ll need quite the collection of outfits if you’re to fully embrace the erotic themes, but don’t fret because there are also mask and headdress-making stations on board.
The devil is in the details
If you feel like this is up your street then here’s a little more info on the cruise itself.
It’s a six-night extravaganza but fair warning it doesn’t come cheap with prices starting from around the £5,000 mark – and that’s for an interior room.
Of course, it’s an all inclusive, so you won’t need to pay for any food or drink while you’re there, and many of the experiences (outside the parties) are included too, although some will incur an additional fee.
This includes cooking classes, wine and whiskey tastings, sunrise yoga and morning run club, sex workshops on relationships, self-expression and sensory play, and even a filthy quiz night.
A particular highlight for swinging couples could be the couples speed dating.
