Cats aren't allowed on board, but feline fanatics can meet like-minded people through meet and greets, group dining, group trivia, and more.
This year's voyage - a four-night Caribbean cruise from Miami aboard Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady - has already sailed. For those who missed out, there will be a cat cruise to Alaska in 2025 with Carnival Cruise Lines.
Prices start at $1,550 (£1,221). To book, register via meowmeowcruise.com.
The nude cruise
Could you bare it? Bare Necessities Tour and Travel offers cruises for nudists
Most guests on this cruise pack light - very light.
It's run by Bare Necessities Tour & Travel, which encourages guests to strip off, but does issue a few guidelines.
One rule is that 'lingerie, fetish-wear, and excessive genital jewellery' are banned, as is nudity when the ship is docked and during meals in the dining rooms.
Guests must also make sure that they're sitting on a towel or an article of clothing 'when bare bottomed or in a thong or G-string'.
The Bare Necessities Tour & Travel website adds that this rule applies 'everywhere... your stateroom, on the pool deck, in the buffet area, all venues aboard, and even while on excursions'.
And it stresses: 'Social nudity is not a sexual activity, and we strive to dispel the misconception that it is anything but natural and beautiful.'
The next nude cruise - billed as The Big Nude Boat - will depart in February 2025 from Miami to Mexico aboard the Norwegian Pearl. Tickets start at $2,000 (£1,578). For more information visit cruisebare.com/cruises.
The Ultimate Disco Cruise
This disco-dedicated cruise sees a ship turned into a 'floating dance club'
How deep is your love for disco? Very deep? Then the Ultimate Disco Cruise could be for you.
The next sailing is a Miami to Mexico round-trip, departing in February 2025, with the ship - the Norwegian Pearl - turned into a 'floating dance club'.
Ultimate Disco Cruise promises 'themed parties, over 40 live performances, interaction with the stars' - and Kool & the Gang will be the headline act.
Be sure to pack your bell bottoms and platform boots, as there's a costume contest in store.
Prices range from $1,799 to $8,099 (£1,419 to £6,391). To book, head to ultimatediscocruise.com.
Desire Cruises - a 'sensual' way to cruise
Desire Cruises offers a clothing-optional blend of relaxation and fantasy on the high seas

As a guest, you'll 'embark on an unforgettable adventure, immersing yourself in the perfect blend of relaxation and fantasy while sailing the high seas'.
