Royal Caribbean, which operates 22 vessels, including the Allure of the Seas, the world’s largest cruise ship, will offer the “Barbie Premium Experience” to passengers aged 4-11 on selected cruises from next year.

Described by the company as “the ultimate indulgence for Barbie enthusiasts”, the package will involve guests finding their cabins adorned with dolls, costumes, Barbie bedding and toiletries.

Various themed activities will also be on offer during the cruise, include a “Tiaras & Teacups” party, featuring refreshments such as pastries and pink lemonade and lessons on etiquette and table manners. Guests will also be offered dance and fashion workshops.

The Barbie Premium Experience, which will cost $349 (£220) per person, on top of the standard cost of the cruise, is the latest in a long line of unusually themed sailings offered by cruise lines.

Carnival Cruises recently ran a voyage themed around the SAW horror film, NCL’s Norwegian Epic has offered Star Trek-themed sailings, and Holland America’s Zuiderdam has hosted a vampire-themed cruise.
