CMV offers an 80s-themed cruise aboard Magellan

Cruise & Maritime Voyages (CMV) is offering an 80s-themed cruise onboard Magellan with Spandau Ballet, Simply Red and Blondie tribute bands on board.

This special, fun-packed weekend cruise will replay some of the favourites from the 80s with the tribute bands.

The Spandau Ballet Story is a six-piece fully live tribute band that captures and recreates the sound of the hit group, featuring Tony Hadley lookalike and soundalike - Taylor Graham. The band will play a legacy of hits which include ?Through the Barricades?, ?Gold?, ?True? and many more.

Mike Bassett presents his tribute to Simply Red. From 1985s ?Picture Book? to 2005s ?Simplified?, guests will get to hear Mick Hucknall?s back catalogue including favourites such as: ?If you don?t know me by now?, ?Money?s too tight to mention? and ?Holding back the years?. Bootleg Blondie is the official Debbie Harry & Blondie tribute band.

Debbie Harris, the lead vocalist of Bootleg Blondie, has the looks, the voice and the attitude of the original Blondie and will take you back to the 80s with hits such as ?Atomic?, ?The tide is high? and ?Maria?.

Guests can sail from London Tilbury on April 23 for two nights with calling at Amsterdam. They can explore the artistic and cultural delights of Amsterdam on an excursion or enjoy spring in full bloom at the Keukenhof Gardens. The ship returns to Newcastle where passengers can extend their stay in Newcastle, travel home independently, or take the coach transfer from Newcastle Tyne to London Tilbury. Alternatively, those in the North East can take a pre-cruise coach, Newcastle Tyne to London Tilbury for ?20 pe person and cruise back to Newcastle.

The fare quoted is based on two people sharing a twin inner cabin and includes full board cuisine, afternoon teas and late-night snacks, Captain?s Cocktail Party, complimentary tea & coffee 6am to midnight, big show entertainment, cabarets and classical interludes, daytime activities and leisure facilities, guest speaker and arts & crafts, porterage of luggage, port to cabin and port taxes.
