Most people are shocked to hear that cruises aren't just for the rich. In fact, a 7-night poker cruise actually is less expensive than traveling to a destination resort! For about $100 a day, you get the cabin berth, all the food you can eat including complimentary room service, nightly Las Vegas-style entertainment, and amenities such as a fitness center, spa, pool, Jacuzzis, rock climbing wall, skating rink, movie theater, plus many shipboard activities. (Amenities vary by ship)”

Card Player Cruises, the world's most popular poker cruise company offers the most poker action, most limits, and the best poker tournaments at sea. The poker room is available only to customers who book through Card Player Cruises. Special “perks” include cocktail parties, gifts, roommate-finding services, beginner's lessons, complimentary poker seminars, a no-abuse environment, and an experienced staff who can help you with all of your arrangements onboard. They offer a wide variety of live games and limits and will spread any game for which there is enough interest. Tournaments with buy-ins in the $80-$200 range also are offered as well as $1,100 tournaments on special designated voyages. The majority of passengers are recreational players who want to combine travel and poker. The poker room is closed at dinner time and when in port, so everyone can enjoy the cruise activities.

Linda Johnson, aka “The First Lady of Poker” and Card Player Cruises partner said, “Our number one priority is that our cruisers have a great time! This is why we have such a huge repeat business.” Johnson added,” Poker players don't have to feel guilty if they book a poker cruise. For non-players, there is plenty to do outside of the poker room. All of the usual scheduled cruise activities are offered in addition to a Las Vegas-style poker room. Some of the activities that are available include: swimming, dancing, nightly entertainment, trivia, pool games, duty-free shopping, full-service casino, spa, etc. For those passengers aged 2-18, activities are available all day including scavenger hunts, disco nights, arcade games, pizza parties, cards, talent shows, arts and crafts, etc. Babysitting is available on most cruises, so many of our guests bring their children along.”
