Not as many small ships have gentlemen dance hosts as the larger ships. However, a few do, such as the Mississippi Queen, Delta Queen and American Queen and the ships of Silversea Cruises. Some of the cruise lines with mid-size and large ships that have dance hosts are American Hawaii Cruises, Crystal Cruises, Commodore Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruise Line, Costa Cruises on their repositioning cruises, Holland America Line and Cunard on their longer cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line on some cruises, Orient Lines, Regal Cruises on their South America cruises, Royal Olympic on most of their cruises, and World Explorer on all of their cruises.
Some cruise lines have gentlemen hosts on board only for cruises of more than seven days.
On small ships there are usually officers available to dance. Many large ships unfortunately now do not allow officers to mingle with passengers, a huge loss in our opinion.
