First Night: The Masquerade Soirée
The Beginning of Your Regency Adventure
Your Regency Immersive Cruise begins with an unforgettable Masquerade Soirée, the perfect introduction to your journey through time.

However, this isn't just any soirée—this night is also filled with excitement and mystery. The Murder Mystery kicks off as soon as the first dance ends, with clues scattered throughout the ship. As you work your way through the evening, you'll gather your fellow passengers to solve the crime, all while staying perfectly in character. The sense of intrigue builds as whispers pass through the crowd, and the atmosphere becomes charged with the thrill of the hunt.
The Scavenger Hunt also begins during the Masquerade Soirée, adding an element of adventure to the evening. Guests are tasked with finding hidden clues and objects throughout the ship, all while remaining in character. As you promenade across the decks, you’ll pass by other guests—some in awe of your Regency attire—who long to be part of the experience. The ship becomes a stage, and you are its star.
By the end of the night, the thrill of the hunt, the elegance of the masquerade, and the mystery of the evening will leave you feeling like you've stepped right into a Regency novel.
