Cruise ship with onboard raunchy and saucy treats, sets sail in 2026 but will not be coming to East Africa

Of late many luxury cruise liners have been calling port in East African cities of Dar-es-salaam, Mombasa and Zanzibar with assorted tourists.

However, a strange ship, which sets sail in 2026 seems to be staying clear of the Indian Ocean section of Eastern Africa.

This highly anticipated Luxury Cruise ship with a difference is set to sail from next year, featuring sex-oriented global trips. So far, the vessel’s itinerary is yet to include East African ports of Dar-es-salaam, Mombasa and Zanzibar.

According to the Mail Online, an old school friend of Kate Middleton’s has launched the sex cruise ship which comes complete with bondage nights, a cinema room showing adult films, sex toys in every cabin and even polyamory workshops.

The sexual adventure on the high seas is the latest project for the sextrepreneur who has been running a high-end sex club for almost 20 years.

Emma Sayle, 46, attended the prestigious Downe House School in Berkshire alongside the Princess of Wale, Kate Middleton.

But the childhood friends have gone down very different paths with Emma founding London-based sex firm Killing Kittens in 2005. She is now extending the leisure journey into the sea.

The members-only sex club was started to give young women the space to be able to ‘explore their sexuality’ and has now got more than 200,000 members.

For the past two decades it has made its name hosting luxurious parties in grand houses and Mayfair clubs, often requiring black tie dress for the events with members hiding their identities with Venetian masks.

But now Emma has expanded her business and her first Killing Kitten cruise will set sail on June 9, 2026.

The ten day holiday begins in Barcelona with a pre-cruise cocktail party before guests officially board from 1pm the following day.

Then weaving through the Mediterranean and docking at Monte Carlo, Florence, Portofino and Mallorca guests can relax and enjoy the X-rated offerings on board as they enjoy a whirlwind 24 hours in each location.

Emma however assures that the cruise will be very normal and not the orgy many might expect.

‘During the day it’s very normal and just like a regular luxury cruise experience on the shore. In the daytime there are so many different workshops,’ she said.

‘And then in the night there are different themed parties and shows with black tie dinners.’ 

At Monte Carlo, Kittens, as the members are known, can enjoy ‘a day of luxury’ followed by a masked ball.

Killing Kitten’s website says you will ‘lose yourself in the allure of the KK Masked Ball, the signature black-tie party that has captivated audiences worldwide’.

During the day, there will be workshops and wellness retreats on offer with those on the cruise able to enjoy personal training sessions, acupuncture and spa services before moving on to more sensual activities.

Guests can experience bondage nights that allow them to enjoy ‘mutually enjoyable sensory play’ and master the dynamics of power play with workshops on sensory seduction offering warm wax and cold ice play to ‘deepen your connection’ with your sexual partner.

Those on-board can also take advantage of a pampering session with in-house hairdressers, nail technicians and make-up artists before learning how to striptease with confidence and ‘use seductive movement to channel your inner Kitten’ before having a personal boudoir photo shoot to ‘capture your most glamorous self’.

At Florence, after walking through the beautiful Italian city, travellers are treated to a Kreatures of the Night event on the ship, featuring cabaret and immersive performances.

The themed evening encouraged guests to don ‘opulent headdresses and striking attire as you reveal a side of yourself that only the night can inspire’.

The website says that this is the moment where ‘luxury meets primal energy’ and performers include Missy Fatale who blends classic burlesque with fire stunts as well as John Celestus who blends dance, contortion and burlesque on stage.

Other evening events include a ‘filthy quiz night’ which include witty questions with a ‘dash of mischief’, drag bingo and even couples speed dating where adventurous duos can explore other connections.

In between exclusive Grand Prix tours in Monte Carlo, helicopter tours of Monaco and Nice and private guided tours through Florence with olive oil tasting and coastal picnics thrown in, guests can unwind with erotic life drawing and polyamory workshops.

When the ship docks at Portofino, Kittens can look forward to a Cirque des Rêves- inspired evening with circus costumes, performances and entertainment.

For those into something more extreme, Le Chic Freak allows guests to be their ‘boldest self and revel in a day where boundaries are yours to define’.

Will the ​saucy ship eventually sail to East Africa in later years? This remains to be seen.
